Chacon Rivero in Puerto are very good along with Mushy Bikes .
As above there are 2 or 3 in the Rotonda centre. Depends what you are after , road, mountain or hybrid even electric available.

My partner bike rides in Fuerte and has bought bikes from the Sports shop in Las Rotundas, PR. Called something like Sportszone.  There is a branch in El Campanario, Corralejo. There used to be/still may be a bike shop on the same road as the bus station but know nothing about it.    Also a bike shop on the road going out of PR towards La Oliva on the right hand side, not much before the buildings peter out, near a Chinese I think.

Quite a selection in sports zone downstairs in las palmeras Centre in corralejo opposite Burger King from 100e upwards

It's worth going to a 'proper' bike shop if buying new, with knowledgeable staff and good after-sales service. In my own experience Chacon Rivera are very good, in PDR, for Orbea bikes, whilst Vadebicis in the main entrance to las Rotundas are equally good for Trek bikes. Have a look at both ranges online first, then you can look at the actual bikes in the shops, discuss with the staff, knowing the price range you are looking at. I found Vadebicis excellent on price for mid-range Treks! Some of the other more general sports shops are OK, but lack the knowledge and seem to offer a hotch-potch of makes in a poor range of sizes. Just my experience, for what it's worth!

We bought our Trek bikes form Volcano bikes in Corralejo.
Run by a German guy we was very helpful and prices about the same as UK.

Was going to say Volcano bikes myself used them a lot for repairs and spares excellent service
do illiterate people really get the benefits of alphabet soup

I have used Volcano for a hire bike, their bikes are new or nearly new, fully serviced and head and shoulders above the clapped out death traps found for hire outside the hotels.
Mentor to the boneheads.

If you're in Corralejo there's a bike sales shop in Juan Carlos, about 3/4 of the way down. And an enormous place called the Bike Mechanic in the Bristol area - not sure what he/she does exactly but probably sales.

It really depends on what you are doing with them, coast around town etc, go to Ideal they have just started to sell them and they are good value for money. If you are serious mountain bikers go to Scott's in Corralejo they have top quality bikes and a free servicing offer.

I'll second Snowdrop's reply. I bought one out of Las Palmeras sports shop a couple of months ago and it was the most reasonably priced for what I needed.

Sporst Zone in Campanario is way over priced for most goods I'm afraid, even though it's the closest to the house. :(
