We’re a bike shop based in Victoria, BC. We carry a wide variety of bicycles—from family commuters and city bikes to high end mountain and road bikes—and have an advanced, fast turnaround service shop. We carry several leading brands of bicycles, including Specialized, Norco, and Ridley; we’re big proponents of 29ers for the riding on Vancouver Island, and are Victoria’s leading 29er shop. We also carry a complete line of parts and accessories, including some rare and difficult to find items.

We have a shop in Victoria, a shop on the Westshore, and a third in Nanaimo.

We also have free brownies.

From the Owner…

OBB has served the Victoria bicycle market for over 75 years. I took over the helm in 1988 and have guided the store through the continued evolution of bicycles.

The industry is blessed with many passionate and capable people, and I have dedicated many of my efforts to ensure that OBB is represented by the best: people who love bikes, ride what they sell and service, and are genuinely excited about helping people make the right selections.

The degree of our place in your cycling life is yours to decide, and please take confidence that no matter how small or large our involvement, my desire is to serve your needs to the highest standards.

Enjoy your riding,

Karl Ullrich, Owner
