About Papillon

Your one-stop bike store, a fixture on-the-pike since 1984, Papillon Cycles is proud to offer its customers the latest in biking equipment, prompt and expert servicing, and a gathering place for local bikers.

Bicycles

We carry the vehicle for all your bicycling needs. As an authorized Giant Bicycles dealer, we carry a variety of styles from a respected manufacturer of quality equipment with a model to fit you and your budget. Whether you choose a Mountain, Road, BMX, Hybrid, Cruiser, or Comfort design, Giant has the model for you. You don't see that special bike in our showroom? We'll be happy to order that Giant Bicycle to fit your needs.

In addition to new Giant bicycles, Papillon also carries professionally reconditioned "pre-owned" bicycles. Come by to check out what is in stock, as these specially priced models go quickly.

Bikes'R Not Toys! Bicycles are designed to be workers, not toys. When you choose to purchase your bicycle at a bike shop instead of a toy store, you will notice the difference in the quality of frame and components. Our bicycles are professionally assembled with your comfort and safety in mind. Our staff is trained to see that your bike fits you perfectly. You can ride out with comfort, knowing that all service and parts are warranted for the first year you own your bike. Whether you ride the trails, the mountains, or the city streets, a well-made, professionally assembled and maintained bicycle will take you safely wherever you choose to ride.

Service & Repair

Papillon's attention to detail, whether it is time for a service call, a complete overhaul, or you just need a flat changed, your satisfaction is our number one goal. Dedication to service has earned Papillon the Washington Consumer Checkbook's highest rating.
