Bike Shops & Mechanics

Scroll down for details of more than 140 bike shops & mechanics across Portugal.

Everyone on a bike tour needs a little help sometimes – even if only because they’ve ridden so far they’ve worn out their tyres!

As discussed on the Spares & Repairs page, many Portuguese bike shops only carry parts for either road bikes or mountain bikes – meaning the range of what’s available can be very limited.

However, if you need help, the list below includes all the bike shops I’ve been able to find to date.

There are some recommended by both myself and fellow cyclists. Others (the majority), I’ve found by searching online, while some are bike shops that have asked to go on the list – please be aware these are not recommendations but purely for your information.

In small towns there may not be a specific “bike shop” but local mechanics/hardware stores often carry some bike parts alongside chainsaws, agricultural equipment etc. Even if they can’t provide exactly what you want, they might be able to fix your bike up well enough to get to the next big town.

I’m also always keen to add to the list. If you know a good bike shop or mechanic, please add a comment in the box at the bottom of the page, email pedalportugal@gmail.com or use Facebook.

Entries below are listed the same way as other parts of the site – towns are in alphabetical order under the name of their region.

Oh, and by the way, after riding nearly 11,000 miles across 10 countries on our tandem, I’ve got one piece of extra advice: Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres – virtually puncture proof even when ridden until practically bald. I’d never use anything else by choice. (And, no, I’m not sponsored by Schwalbe!)

National

As well as a online shop offering a comprehensive looking range of parts and accessories, BikeZone has a chain of 16 bricks and mortar stores on the mainland (plus one on Madeira), most but not all in the northern half of the country.

As well as individual bike shops, the Decathlon chain of outdoor stores carry cycling gear and often have an in-store mechanic. (I’ve also found they are one of the few places where you can buy screw-top gas canisters to fit a Trangia stove.)

Most Decathlons are in out-of-town retail parks. You’ll also find SportZone another source of cycle clothing and equipment. Their shops are often in town and in smaller shopping centres as well as some larger outlets.

For secondhand bikes and equipment you can try looking online at Bike Market

Portuguese cyclist João Jorge Araύjo recommends the online ProBikeshop as a source of supplies. You may also want to look at non-Portuguese online suppliers like Wiggle and Chain Reaction Cycles if you’ve got the time to have gear sent to you – particularly if you’re after something less mainstream.

He says he is always happy to help any passing touring cyclists – or can come to you if required for emergency repairs. He is not a business and would help out on an exchange/donation basis.

If you need help, contact Ben at algarvebikemechanic@gmail.com or on (00351) 963 619 078. Ben adds that he lives in a small wooden house outside the village and is happy for respectful tourers to camp for the night if needed, although he can only offer a shower in summer months as he has no hot water.

OLHÃO: There are a couple of options here – thanks to John Shepherd for the information.

Like A Pro (formerly known as NV Bikes) has a large branch on the N125, which is the main road through town. Their workshop seems to be fully equipped, and pretty well state of the art if the stock of bikes is anything to go by, according to John Shepherd. Lots of accessories and spares. At least some of the staff speak English.

On The Rocks builds up fixed-wheel bikes, so clearly has some form of workshop. Bikes (including Portugal’s own Yé-Yé bikes) for sale, and spares. John Shepherd says: “No-one speaking English when I was there, but very helpful and enthusiastic.”

There’s also a traditional Portuguese bike shop at Avenida da República 90/92 (next to Café Ice), where they speak no English but definitely seem to know their stuff.

John Shepherd says: “During my first contact with the guy who runs it, he magicked up a rim tape (crafted from an old inner tube) and charged me €0.50. A few weeks later, I returned with terminal failure of my Sram Gripshift gear changer, and he found 8-speed Shimano trigger shifters in his loft, and fitted them within an hour. Recommended – but don’t expect bang up-to-date stock!”

The shop has no signs outside, just two doors open when its open. Closed Saturday afternoons. Some very cheap new bikes for sale, and some secondhand ones hanging up inside.

PORTIMÃO: G-Ride Bike – Also has a shop in Faro. Recommended as “first rate and very helpful” by George Smith – who lives in Portugal and uses them all the time. 

Also highly recommended by Pedal Portugal: friendly, very well-stocked and English-speaking. Helped me out twice on a recent guided tour when riders had problems with bikes they’d brought with them. 

OneBike – closer to the town centre, this Cube, Orbea & Trek dealer is on a side road (Rua Cidade de Darnão) that runs parallel to the main road south of the Portimão Retail Center and the Aqua Centro Commercial. Also rents bikes and has a workshop. Recommended by Michiel van Dam and Kathy Thomas.

Leslie Meehan adds: “Rui…has been absolutely terrific. Great guy, honest, good mechanic and proficient English speaker. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about. Back in the States I was led to believe I needed a new bottom bracket. Rui checked mine out and said, ‘I would love to change out your bottom bracket because I make money, but you do not need one. Yours is just fine.'”

There’s also a Decathlon on the north-west edge of town.

SAGRES: Sagres Bicycle & Company – new shop on the main road into town. Mechanic/owner Bruno Silva covers from Sagres to Lagos and up the coast to Aljezur – for a breakdown service contact 00351 918 471 545 or sagresbicycleandcompany@gmail.com Some excellent reviews online.
