About Above Category
Above Category is not your typical bike shop. Located in Sausalito with views of the water, this boutique retailer specializes in the highest-end road, gravel, and mountain bikes available. Think handmade Italian frames, limited-edition paint schemes, and components that cost more than most complete bikes.
The shop itself is more gallery than retail floor, with bikes displayed like works of art. The staff is deeply knowledgeable and passionate, happy to spend hours discussing frame geometry, wheel aerodynamics, or the merits of different groupsets. Custom builds are a specialty - they'll work with you to create exactly the bike you've dreamed of.
Even if you're not in the market for a new bike, Above Category is worth a visit. The Sausalito location makes it a natural stop on rides coming across the Golden Gate Bridge, and the shop regularly hosts events, rides, and product launches.
Tips
- Perfect stop on a Hawk Hill or Paradise Loop ride - Sausalito is right on the route
- They stock premium cycling apparel brands you won't find at larger shops
- Their custom build process is thorough - expect multiple consultations for a perfect fit
- Check their social media for group rides and events hosted from the shop
