Mike’s Bikes Rentals & Repairs keeps Bastrop rolling
Mike’s Bikes Rentals & Repairs has become a familiar stop for beginner and professional cyclists throughout Bastrop. The details Jason Hernandez, the owner, told Community Impact his business—which has operated out of a renovated 1967 Airstream Land Yacht in Fisher- man’s Park since late July—is preparing for a busy stretch as camp season approaches and activity in the area ramps up. “Being a full-service shop, I’m able to accommo- date 99% of everybody’s needs,” he said. “People have been overwhelmingly positive, because I can do at repairs and I can do full tune-ups.”
Some background Hernandez, a Cedar Creek resident, named Mike’s Bikes after his son, and emphasized his gratitude to quickly become a staple in the Bastrop community after nearly a year and a half of work- ing with the city and on construction. The outlook With several bicycles passing through his hands on a typical day, Hernandez is exploring opportunities to host community classes. “I want to have actual classes on how to change your own tire with the proper tools,” he said. “Not only do you get to see me do it, but I’ll walk you through it.”
The shop opened mid-2025 in Fisherman’s Park.
