Tata Bikes: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great service. Direct to action, and thinks about price to not replace what is not necessary to replace.
Fantastic experience: The best bike shop in Gerona! Stefano saved my trip. He went above and beyond to help me and did it with a smile on his face. Just go there! Thanks Stefano!
Regards !
Fantastic experience: My girlfriend and I hired 2 good quality road bikes for €65 per bike for all day. We had them from 8am-6pm. They supplied us with all the gear such as Lycra, Lights, Water bottles and Phone holder. They also helped us upload suggested routes onto our phones. (We chose a 67 mile circular) Tips: - I would recommend going the day before to save time on the day of hire, for things like bike sizing, filling out forms and uploading routes onto the phone. - We were lucky enough to have their daughter Alina there to translate our English for us. However if she is not there I would recommend having a translator app to hand. - Take identification as they will need a copy of a passport / driving licence. The business is family run and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Stelion, Magdalene and Alina for your kindness, your time and your service. I hope to return again. Thank you.
Fantastic experience:
Everything was perfect, very friendly. They did a perfect repair for my bike at a very good price.

Fantastic experience:
I had my bike repaired at Tata at the end of August while I was traveling and couldn't ride. We had difficulty finding the problem because the language barrier didn't allow me to clearly explain the issue. Tata bikes was patient and managed to repair the bike. The best bike professional I know. Thanks again.

Fantastic experience: Great service, great bike and fantastic advice for trips. I'm definitely coming back here.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Tata. They were so gracious about accommodating my rental with last minute notice by outfitting me with a few things I hadn’t brought and were able to provide route suggestions—10/10 recommend!
Fantastic experience: Good service and good bike. Very convenient if you are staying in the old town.
Fantastic experience: We were so excited to ride in Girona and so very pleased to have rented our bikes from Tata’s. We got our dates mixed up and arrived a day early and the owners, Magdalena and Stelian, were very graceful in accommodating us. The Thesis bikes were perfect, and they took time adjusting them the way we preferred. I highly recommend this place to rent bikes. Professional and personal. Felt like renting from old friends.
Fantastic experience:
10 out of 10 service and human quality. Very happy with the result and I will definitely return when I have the next check-up
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: This shop is great!!! Stephan took care of us so fast, and was so genuine, it was a great experience. He definitely knows what he's doing and was very thorough. Would highly recommend this shop to anyone in Girona!
Fantastic experience: Super shop with super friendly people… I arrived in Girona with a punctured tire and found Tata Bikes. No waiting, Stefan took my bike and fixed (improved) it on the spot, excellent service... both Magda and Stefan rescued my trip... I wholly recommend going to these guys for your bicycle needs.
Best regards and safe travels!
Fantastic experience:
impeccable and expert service, unbeatable attention and human and close treatment. Everything you need to feel well advised. 100% recommendable. Resolute and at your disposal. What an enviable way to work.

Fantastic experience: I'm from Montreal and I never had a good service as the one TATAShop gave me. Really nice shop and the staff loves bikes. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Awesome little shop with a great range of kit - brands I’ve never seen before and really interesting stuff! The proprietress is far too good at her job - don’t expect to leave empty handed!
Fantastic experience:
I was sad that they didn't have culottes in my size. But the service was exceptional, and I loved their products

Fantastic experience:
Problem with a Corima ws 47 wheel solved in a short time and at a fair price. Really great and kind. I will definitely return for maintenance on my Colnago C64. Super top. Thank you.

Fantastic experience:
Nueva experiencia, por segundo año consecutivo, repitiendo tienda #TATABIKES. Una vez mas trato excelente de Stelian y su familia, gran profesionalidad, todo facilidades, trato muy agradable y fluido, desde la reserva de las bicicletas ( 9 unidades) hasta la entrega de las mismas, muy buen material. Completamente recomendable.

Fantastic experience: I never write reviews, but this place deserves it. Great place, lovely people, value for money. Wish this store the best, we will come back.

Fantastic experience:
We found this bike boutique while walking through the historic center of Girona, coincidentally on the day of its opening. It seemed like a quite professional place, and we went in to browse. Immediately, Stelian and Magda, who run the shop, explained the services they offered: clothing, rentals, sales, and bike repairs. They mentioned that they could also customize and restore bikes. That’s when I suggested restoring a bike to which I had a certain affection. Shortly after, I took it to them and the result is spectacular, both the paint job and the new components they had to source and replace. I won’t hesitate to return for anything related to the world of bicycles. Very grateful and I wish you much success.

Fantastic experience: Great service from Stelian right in the middle of Girona. Small family run bike shop, great Gravel and Road rentals and some nice gear for sale. Took care of my bike problem with very little notice and I was back on the road in no time. Easy to get in touch with on WhatsApp and make arrangements - super personal and when I need anything else here in Girona I'll be back for sure.
Fantastic experience: Super customer friendly and nice clothing store!
Fantastic experience: By far the best experience I've ever had in a bike store. They're amazing!
Fantastic experience: Great shop! Stelian and his partner were very responsive when it came to renting a Thesis bike. The bike was brilliantly set up and a pleasure to ride! Thanks!
Fantastic experience:
Great mechanic and great service

Fantastic experience: If you want to get your bike fixed in the area, don't hesitate, incredible service in a nice shop. Also rental.
Fantastic experience:
Immediate attention, efficiency, assertiveness, neatness, kindness, you will find all this at Tata Bikes, a complete establishment, starting from the workshop, the store, Stelian and Magda, and ending with the space, the location, and the workshop's display. A pleasure for you to take care of my bike.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience: The Girona hype is real! But what absolutely made our experience (and day!) was our rental at Tata bikes. I would give them 10 stars if I could. From the owners' kindness to Thesis bikes that were a DREAM to ride. We will be back and we will be singing the praises of Tata bikes! No other place you should go. (We also got day rentals and they were communicative on WhatsApp and great for travelers!).
Fantastic experience: Thank you for your fantastic bike service today. Both Electric and Road bike. Great service and a delight to talk with - despite our poor attempts at Spanish Clive and Thea.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Thesis Sram etap gravel bikes. Great service, super friendly. We'll be back next year.
Fantastic experience: We got our bikes cleaned (chain and frame) at the Tata store after 6 days touring the Costa Brava on road and dusty gravel. Our bikes have never looked cleaner! The owner/mechanic also gave us great advice on a route for the next day. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: We arrived in Girona after 7.5 days of cycling through the Pyrenees. We needed help to re-package our bikes in boxes for flights back to the UK. Stelian at Tata Bikes was just fantastic and could not have helped any more including arranging for a taxi the next day. If you are in Girona pay him a visit you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Having completed a cycling trip in this beautiful part of Spain, we needed to get our bikes boxed for the flight back to the UK. We managed to arrange this prior to leaving the UK with Stelian at Tata bikes. The service we received and the attention to detail from Stelian and his daughter, Anna, was second to none. Along with professional packing of the bikes, they arranged a taxi for the early trip to the airport. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I understand they are planning to arrange guided cycle tours around the Girona region later next year. I would advise looking at these as this company is excellent!
Fantastic experience:
We love it, professional and welcoming. We go back every time we visit Girona. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Mr. Tata is one of the finest mechanics you will ever take your bike to. Having previously been a mechanical engineer, he can evaluate any problem you might have. He is by far the most precise and thorough person who has ever worked on my bike. I can't wait until I move to Girona so that I can have him service ALL my bike. Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience:
Very nice bike shop, friendly staff.

Fantastic experience:
Simply amazing the service, spectacular the innovative product. What a crush!!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
We rented two bicycles for a one-day tour. Excellent service, the owners really cared about us, they lent us (for free) cycling clothes, gave us detailed information about a route to reach Girona from Olot, were genuinely interested, and even gave us a small gift upon our return. The shop is spectacular, they work well, and their products are of the highest quality at an affordable price. I am very grateful to the owners.
Translated from Italiano
Fantastic experience: Great experience and friendly team!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience at Tata Bikes today!!!! Brought my bike from the US and left for a ride early this morning, but flatted immediately (tubular tire with a giant shard of glass, so needed help changing the whole tire). This was the only shop open already. Stelian fixed my tire and gave Route recommendations. It was so incredibly fun to exchange with him and learn about his life, too. I’m so happy with this experience and hope to come back to Tata Bikes someday!!!
Fantastic experience: Spectacular, atmosphere 11 out of 10, products 12 out of 10, owners 100 out of 10, and Tata (Stefan) a bike enthusiast who engages you in such a way that you don't want to leave the store. A place to return to always. AWESOME!
Fantastic experience: The owner came to my rescue with a new tire and installed it immediately. Nice shop with just the right stuff. Excellence!
Fantastic experience: Nice little shop and super friendly owners and family. Visited a couple of times. Bought some kit and they also quickly helped me out with a mechanical issue on the spot.
Fantastic experience:
Passion meets perfectionism! In early April we were in Girona with our road bikes for a few days. On the second day I noticed a couple of things about my road bike. The cassette was not right and there were strange noises coming from the bottom bracket. I had already noticed Stelian's bike shop as I passed by, because his workshop has a large window where you can watch. This impressed me and created trust. Stelian is a mechanic with great passion, and he's also incredibly nice and a good guy. Magda joyfully helped with the translation and, during the waiting time, she had very good tips for tours and restaurants. After a short time, the problem was resolved with great skill and experience, and he also corrected two more minor issues with the brakes and shifting. All this very spontaneously, without waiting time and at a very fair price. I wish I had someone like Tatabikes at home, I would definitely be a regular customer. An amazing experience, I absolutely recommend him. He also does sensational conversions or restorations of classics with current parts. A paradise for freaks. Thank you and I will stop by again when I'm in Girona!

Fantastic experience: Incredible owners and shop. I rented a Thesis for 2 days and LOVED it. It was set up for road riding and I had no problems keeping up with true road bikes. I can't wait to return!
Fantastic experience:
There are very few professionals and people of this level! A couple with a human quality and a professionalism that is very, very hard to find in these times. WE ARE DELIGHTED TO HAVE MET YOU and we will continue coming from Barcelona for a long time. Thank you very much.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience at Tata Bikes. I visited Girona for the first time and as most cycling enthusiasts, I decided to rent a bike and explore the region. And in my own luck, I got an amazing service from Stelian (he is the main mechanic and ex aircraft mechanic too) & Magda from Tata Bikes and was treated with kindness, hospitality and professionalism. Their shop is family owned and the bikes masterpieces. I got a bike called Thesis, which is a very cool bike concept from San Francisco. Will definitely be visiting again and highly recommended. Thank you Magda and Stelian!
Fantastic experience: This is a high professional and high quality bike store in Girona. Stephan is doing a perfect service. The bike is like new afterwards.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 service from the mechanic Stefan! I had several issues with my bike that needed sorting after the flight from UK - he resolved the issues straight away. Prices also very reasonable.
Fantastic experience:
Excellent service, everything is easy, gravel bikes in perfect condition. We were a group of 5 friends and we will repeat. 100% recommendable.

Saludos !
Fantastic experience: I had a few problems with my bike, and it was the best decision to go to Tata bikes. Stefan is a great mechanic. Next time in Girona, I’ll definitely start with a check-up at Tata bikes. I don't remember when last time I was treated so warmly as a customer. Great experience. Thank you!
It was a pleasure to meet you and repair your bike.
Every time you visit Girona we hope you will stop by Tata Bikes.
Greetings and see you next time!
Fantastic experience: Super service
Best regards!
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming family run shop! Always a pleasure to drop by for a chat, rental fleet and custom bikes look beautiful also! Thank you guys and see you soon :)

Gracias Oriol !
Fantastic experience: Superbly
Fantastic experience: Made an impromptu visit to Tata Bikes with a failed brake on my e-bike... and (it turns out) a buckled back wheel. My bike is now singing (and stopping when it should!) Thank you to the lovely Tata Bike Family of Girona!
Fantastic experience: Really great bikes. We hired three on the 9th of October and enjoyed such a great road ride. Thanks for all your help and advice.
Fantastic experience: Best cycle shop in Girona. Excellent staff, excellent quality bikes to hire and some nice clothing too.
Fantastic experience: Great little family bike shop in the heart of Girona. They were very helpful with a last minute rental. They took the time to help me map out a route, provide bottles and nutrition. I can't recommend highly enough. PS - The bike was great. 1X with 50 in the rear you will have more than enough gears to climb any hill.
Thank you David and whenever you pass through Girona we hope you visit us!
Fantastic experience: Tata bikes is the best bike shop in Girona. When a shop is run by a family and with passion, you see the difference. Stelian is a real bike geek, and he always knows what he's doing. I won't trust anybody else for my bikes! Super cool shop too... A must go!
Fantastic experience: Best service, best bikes and amazing people. A real old style family run shop, but super modern and cool. The owner is a real engineer genius of the two wheels, and a very nice man. By far the coolest and best bike shop of town!
Fantastic experience: Very nice bikes for renting, gravel, road and MTB. They were also incredibly helpful with a personal bike trouble. No doubt my first for any bike adventure in Girona.
Fantastic experience: Awesome family run bike shop! Tata was able to accommodate me with a great rental bike on short notice. I will definitely come here on my next trip to Girona. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: We highly recommend Tata Bikes for anyone visiting Girona. Today (June 2022) my wife and I rented two bicycles from Stelian and Magdalena of Tata Bikes in Girona. One was a THESIS gravel bike and the other an XDS cyclocross bike. We first visited the Tata store, centrally located in Girona’s Jewish Quarter, the evening before our ride. Both Stelian and Magdalena assisted us in selecting the appropriate bikes for next day’s ride. We explained that we did not bring our cycling shoes with us to Girona, so Stelian offered to have the bikes ready first thing next morning with the clipless pedals swapped for new flat pedals for our use. The next day, we arrived first thing in the morning, as planned, and the bikes were ready, and waiting for us. Stelian, Magdalena and their daughter assisted us in mapping out an appropriate cycling route, provided us with energy bars, equipped our bikes with rear seat bag/handlebar bag (complete with CO2 cartridges, extra butyl tube and tire levers). The bikes performed flawlessly over the 60+ km ride. We returned the bikes before the 6:00 p.m. soft deadline and told Stelian and Magdalena all about our day’s riding adventure. The hospitality demonstrated by the owners of Tata Bikes is unprecedented in our numerous dealings with bike shops in North America, and to a lesser degree, Europe. As described earlier, we highly recommend Tata Bikes for anyone visiting Girona. Stelian and Magdalena are fabulous and we are delighted to have met them in our travels.
Fantastic experience:
Wonderful shop and great owners! Got our bikes fixed for the long journey ahead. Thank you very much!
