About Bike Works Kona
Bike Works Kona is the Big Island's flagship bike shop, located on Kopiko Street in Kailua-Kona — the town that hosts the Ironman World Championship and sees more visiting triathletes per capita than almost anywhere on earth. The shop has grown into the natural basecamp for cyclists tackling the Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway, the famous lava-field stretch of the Ironman bike course.
The rental fleet centers on quality road bikes suited to the island's long, exposed rides, with online reservations so traveling athletes can lock in a bike before they land. Rentals come with the fit adjustments that matter on a 100-mile training day, and the full-service workshop handles everything from race-week tune-ups to repairs for locals' commuters and mountain bikes. The retail floor stocks bikes, components, nutrition, and apparel from major brands.
Staffed by riders who train on these roads year-round, Bike Works offers route advice that spares visitors the classic Kona mistakes — like underestimating the crosswinds at Waikoloa or the climb to Hawi. During triathlon season the shop becomes a hub of race preparation, but its service standards hold every month of the year, making it the reliable choice for any cyclist visiting the Kona Coast.
