Mid Pacific Wheels is a family business that began in Hilo in 1979, making it the longest-running bicycle shop on the Big Island. From Manono Street near the University of Hawaii at Hilo, the shop sells and services bicycles alongside electric bikes and mopeds, and its rentals – complete with locks and repair kits – are used by visitors for rides like the Kilauea climb, priced around $45 a day in one customer. Frank and his father Geary are named in customer feedback for knowledgeable, enthusiastic help, with bikes returned from service described as better than new and rentals praised for appropriate preparation including spare tubes, pumps and pedals. The shop also organizes group rides. The storefront sits close to the University of Hawaii at Hilo’s Manono campus. Some customer feedback mention higher prices, generally framed as justified by the quality of the work. Hours are Monday through Saturday 10 to 4, closed Sundays.
