Dream Cycle stands out in Vancouver's cycling community through its unique custom bicycle craftsmanship and personalized approach. Unlike standard bike shops, Dream Cycle specializes in creating one-of-a-kind steel bicycles tailored precisely to individual cyclist's dreams.

Key Differences 

• Custom Bike Building: They offer an extraordinary custom-steel bicycle build where you get to select every component, from contact points like handlebars, saddle & pedals to the hand built wheels & drive train components.
• Boutique Experience: Small and cozy, located at 1010 Commercial Drive, offering an intimate alternative to larger bike stores, we'll spend the time listening to your needs & creating a bike that is uniquely yours.
• Comprehensive Services: Not just a repair shop, but a full-service custom bicycle creation destination
• Curated Brand Selection: Carries unique brands like Soma Bikes, Surly Bikes &  Brooks saddles, Salsa, Chris King, White Industries, Velo Orange & Paul Components to appeal to discerning cyclists.

Unique Shop Culture
The shop embodies a refreshing, approachable attitude. As one review humorously noted, their staff provides charming, on-the-spot service - like the "adorable French girl" who not only fixed a flat tire impromptu but playfully announced "I'll put some lube on the chain for ya". Dream Cycle isn't just selling bicycles; they're crafting personalized cycling experiences that reflect each rider's individual style and needs.
