  • 2012 | Best Bike Shop

    Walk into Big Shark Bicycle Company in the East Loop, and you'll be taken by two things: the staggering selection of bicycles and the super friendly staff. Indeed, Big Shark is the rare kind of bike shop that caters to everyone and doesn't discriminate. A college student looking for reliable transportation for less than $400 is treated with equal respect as a businessman looking to drop ten grand on a carbon-fiber road bike with electric shifting. All the sweeter is that all Big Shark... More »

    If you stand in Big Shark Bicycle Company for more than fifteen seconds, someone who knows more about bikes than you ever will and who's friendlier than your mother will ask if you need any help. It doesn't matter if you look like you're going to spend five dollars or five thousand, if you're buying an entry-level bike for the park or an ultralight super-racer made of material you can't pronounce: These guys know how to pronounce it, and they'll help you. Big Shark offers bikes, bike... More »

  • 2006 | Best Bike Shop

    For every mile you ride a bicycle, you keep some amount of money, however tiny, out of the pocket of the petroleum potentates, political toadies and despots of all national stripes whose reigns depend on the depletion of natural resources. With that in mind, we rescued our three-decades-old Peugeot from the shed and took it to Big Shark, where in a week or so it was good as almost-new. Big Shark appreciates old bikes and keeps them going with determination, velo-professionalism and genuine... More »

    We don't care what Lance rides. Friends don't let friends ride Trek. That's almost a forgotten slogan, but back in the day, anti-Trek bumper stickers were the rage among cycling snobs who considered hand-built bicycles as much works of art as utilitarian transportation. It's an expression of individualism. Like a Harley, a fine bicycle should be one of a kind, saying something about its owner. They have plenty of fine bicycles at Big Shark, and they don't sell Trek. But they do carry... More »

    Some stores are just so damn good that they deserve their victories year in and year out. Such is the case with Big Shark, a shop so active in the St. Louis biking community that, if you see a geek with those freaky calf muscles, chances are he's sporting a tight Big Shark racing shirt and his bike was probably purchased there. We're not bike fanatics, though, and wouldn't be caught dead in bike shorts (in hell, everyone must wear them). We just like riding and like riding in comfort. We... More »

    The amount of quality Big Shark Bicycle Co. crams into a storefront in the University City Loop is nothing short of amazing. Every nook is filled with parts, clothes and, of course, bicycles. The pièce de resistance, a Colnago sporting Campagnolo components and a $4,000 price tag -- just like they use in the Tour de France -- hangs from the ceiling. We will admit upfront that we are partial to Italian gear, and Big Shark stands apart for offering choices beyond Shimano and Trek. Owing... More »
