Shop Tour- USJ Cycles (USJ9)

Nestled in one of Subang Jaya's busier areas, USJ Cycles is located in USJ 9, which is less than a 5 minute walk from the Taipan LRT station and just across the road from Taipan itself. The bike shop has been in business for about 13 years now and was originally located in USJ 4 before moving to it's current location about 4 years ago. 

They began their operation in 2003 and are managed by an ​experienced team that's lead by Mr Jeff Siow, all the while with a raw passion in cycling. Jeff, who was very welcoming, chatted with me a bit regarding the store, business as well as the current state of cycling among the local Subang Jaya folk. Due to their well established rapport, the shop is well known by Subangites, both cyclists and non-cyclists alike. Here's a link to their Facebook page, Instagram page and website. Here's their location on Google Maps.

You can't miss it, just look out for the fancy wall deco

The store is located along the same row as shops as the famous Super Kitchen Chili Pan Mee and a Domino's Pizza. Previously, their business only occupied one shop lot until about 4 months ago when they expanded to the include the one next door.

Upon entering the store, you're greeted by a large array of bikes of various shapes and sizes, each with their one unique set of qualities. From folders to commuters, e-bikes to fixies, road bikes and mountain bikes. There's even a tandem bike too!

They offer an extensive range of bikes for both men and women and ​they also have a selection of kids bikes in store. ​They have a carefully selected range ​​of bikes in store so as to maintain high levels of quality as well as to cater for riders of all skill levels and budget. Essentially, if you're looking to get your first bike, looking to buy your kid a bike of their own or are looking to upgrade to something a little more serious, chances are, the store has got you covered. After a little snooping around, I also found child bicycle seats and a bicycle stroller for toddlers. So it's definitely got something for the whole family.

​The are the authorised dealer for some major global bike brands, specifically ​Specialized, CUBE, Dahon, Fuji, Kona and more, all with a wide range of prices. They also have a couple from XDS and Raleigh. You'll find more info on their full line of mountain bikes here.

Behind the main counter, you'll find all the cycling-specific tools and accessories you'll probably ever need. From cycling computers, lights, pedals, multitools, CO2 pumps, normal mini-pumps, bells, saddle bags, bottle cages, tyre levers, bike locks and so on. The list goes on. Know a cyclist who's birthday is coming up soon? You might wanna stop by the store then. Or visit their website by clicking here.

As you move towards the back of the store, you'll find their range of saddles and tyres as well as their work/bike fitting area. They offer bike servicing as well as bike-fit services. Find out more on their website by clicking here for repairs and services and here for bike-fits.

The work area

As you turn into the newer part of the store, the one occupying the shoplot they expanded to, you'll come across some cycling apparel, bags, panniers as well as bike storage and transporting equipment. They have an array of car racks for bikes, some bike stands for home use as well as a travel bag for your bike in the event you want to fly with your bike somewhere.

As you move closer to what was essentially the entrance of the newly acquired lot, you'll come across the road bikes as well as some higher end toys. Carbon frames, carbon aero wheels, S-Works shoes and some nice helmets to name a few. Being a Specialized distributor, you'll mainly come across some Tarmacs, Venges, an Allez, and a couple of other models as well as some Fujis (the Transonic) and Cubes, all of which are available on their website.

And that's about it. A rather short post with tons of pictures. The shop is generally quite nice and inviting. If you're looking at getting your first bike or upgrading from a rather basic bike and stay within Subang Jaya, I'd highly recommend giving the store a visit. That's it for now, thanks again for reading. As always, leave any and all comments you may have in the comment section down below and I will try my best to get back to you.
