Local favorite with excellent mechanics and a great selection of road and mountain bike gear.
About Pacos
Pacos is a Mill Valley institution. This independent bike shop has been serving the local cycling community for years, building a reputation for excellent mechanical work, fair pricing, and a genuine love of riding.
The shop carries a solid selection of road and mountain bike gear, but it's the service department that really shines. The mechanics are experienced, fast, and honest - they'll tell you what actually needs fixing and what can wait. For a town full of serious cyclists, that trust is everything.
Mill Valley's location makes Pacos a convenient option for riders heading to or from Mount Tamalpais, Stinson Beach, or the Headlands routes. It's also the kind of shop where you can walk in with a flat tire and walk out 15 minutes later, which matters when you're trying to salvage a ride day.
Tips
- Great for quick repairs and tube replacements if you flat on a local ride
- Their mechanics are particularly good with mountain bike suspension service
