I reached out to Eldred to help teach my 8 year old to ride his bike. With 2 lessons he's ready to go! The first lesson we worked on balance, and precision and had some homework before returning for the second lesson to work on control. Eldred even helped customize my son's bike seat so we could get a few more years out of the bike before upgrading to the next size. If you're a busy parent and have an hour to spare to get your kid riding, you've got to call this guy, he's a pro!
Very pleased with Veloharmony! My husband’s bike had 2 flat tires. While Eldred could have ripped us off (originally I thought both wheels had to be completely replaced) he politely explained that it was just the tube that needed to be replaced. He even cleaned the bike for us and adjusted the handlebars. We dropped the bike off Saturday afternoon and picked it up Sunday afternoon! He works quick and at a great, reasonable price. Eldred is a hidden gem and I would recommend anyone with bike issues to call him!
A truly great experience. Very fun and educational. The bike feels great!!
Super knowledgeable and high quality service. Great communication and quick turn around. Would recommend without hesitation.
Such a positive experience at Veloharmony Bicycles. Tune ups, repairs, brakes, tires and complete rebuilds in very knowledgeable hands. Make an appointment!
Eldred was friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable!
Took my bike in the box from Walmart to be assembled, very happy with my experience! The owner even took the time to show me a few biking tips and made sure that the brakes on my bike were quiet. Highly recommend their services!
I called to ask if they repaired bicycle tires and the guy who answered the phone told me that I needed an appointment and started to raise his voice at me. With that kind of service I would never go to them. What a way to serve customers. It's been a long time since someone raised their voice to me on the phone.

Eldred at Veloharmony has helped me work through my fears about cycling. I am 63 years old & riding for the first time in many years. He is patient & kind, knowledgeable & determined to help me live my best cycling life. I just wish I’d come to him for a bike fit before I bought my road bike! Thank you Eldred!
I ride a Canyon Endurace 8.0, which I fitted myself, and looked into Veloharmony due to significant outer knee pain. After getting my bike fitted I went from having knee pain prevent me from cycling more than ~30 miles at a time, to having none. I was able to bike 40 miles right after having my bike fitted without any knee pain. Eldred spent a lot of time with me to make sure the fit was perfect and that I was happy with it. He also gave me plenty of tips on how to improve my form, advice on how to maintain the bike, etc. I was very satisfied with the service.
Eldred did a great job fixing up my wife's bike. He was full of knowledge and was generous with providing us helpful info for maintaining the bike. He did a truly expert job at fixing the tire, and other things I didn't even know were wrong with it. The bike rides great now. Thanks!
Elrod is a true master of his craft, and I will never take my bikes anywhere else. We had a "Covid" built bike that had some parts that were inferior to what the manufacturer said it had and was more than a year out of warranty... Elrod identified the issue, researched the issue, and gave me the verbal ammo needed to hold that manufacturer accountable for their workmanship, and best of all, it did not cost me a dime. If you're reading this and you're trying to decide on who you want to work on your bicycles, then my advice is to get online and set an appointment. Elrod will take good care of your cycles!!!
Great customer experience! I am a dirt trail rider with 3 years of mud, sand, water, etc. accumulation on my bike and no maintenance over that time. After a rear flat tire, I took my bike in for an overhaul and repairs. Eldred reviewed a detailed work plan with me at his shop and did an incredible job and finished on time. While working on it, he noticed that the derailleur was not allowing the chain to move to the two largest gears. After discussions with the manufacturer, he found that it was missing a simple 70 cent bolt and now my 9 speed is the 11 speed it should be! I will definitely be returning for more regular service and follow his suggestions for home maintenance in between visits.
We highly recommend Coach Eldred for learning to bike ride and for bike service and repairs. He taught our son to ride, fitted him to his bike perfectly and repaired another bike. He is a wonderful teacher, encouraging and full of expertise. Wonderful service. Thank you!
Finally found someone knowledgeable and that shares the same passion for cycling as many of us. Veloharmony Bicycles took care of my bike. Fixed it hay other “mechanics” damaged. Thank you for your dedication to make a difference in our community!
I took my bike in because it wasn’t riding properly. Not only did Eldred fix the issue but he went above and beyond and inspected every part of the bike and made sure everything was in good working order and corrected the things that needed corrected. Now my bike rides better than it ever did. He is very meticulous and explains what the problem is, how it happens, and how he fixes it. He is a wealth of knowledge and very professional. Also very reasonably priced. If you need to take your bike in I highly recommend Veloharmony Cyclery. Your bike will be in very good hands.
Eldred is an absolute gem! I brought my bike in for a couple of minor issues and he walked me through what was going on and why. He fixed up my bike and helped adjust it to me for a better riding experience. He definitely enjoys what he does and it shows! Highly recommend Veloharmony!
Full Service bicycle service center
The creation of a high quality bicycle service and local independent full service bicycle shop was the driving factor behind the creation of Veloharmony.
We are an independent local bicycle shop, specializing in new, used and custom bicycles, parts, and accessories. We also offer full service repair on all types of bicycles at reasonable prices using new or used parts.
Having successfully performed bike fits since early 1995 to varying levels of recreational riders, racers and Ironman triathletes, it was not until 2016, that I received the inspiration for the Veloharmony Custom Fit Studio, bicycle shop and bicycle service center and its accompanying Veloharmony YouTube Channel.
The creation of Veloharmony as we know today, begins in the Summer of 2016, during a group ride with a local Houston area club called UMC. A cyclist named Paul Ilunga, joined our group on one of the Saturday rides.
I was introduced to him by Alain Didkain and the three of us hung at the rear of the group and chatted.The pace picked up and I noticed Paul was struggling to hold the pace. Alain offered to stay with him and so I rode on and caught up to the group.
After about 10 kilometers (6 miles) or so, we stopped at the Local gas station, since the actual ride start was earlier than where we joined the group on the route and the earlier starters needed to top off their fluids.
At the stop, Paul told us that he had been off the bike for a year. Intending to encourage him and being truthful, I said “if you can stay with us after taking a year off, then we should not be riding bikes”.
I think it worked and he received the comment well.
Later during the next week, I received a message from Alain that suggested that since Paul lived relatively close to me, I should contact him so we could do some rides together. I did and the rest is history.
Our first ride, Paul could barely hold a straight line while riding and bumped into me a few times. I mentioned that his fit needed to be examined.
At the time neither he, nor Alain were aware that I was adept at bike fits among other things.
Set a goal
Paul had mentioned that he observed how easily I moved through the bunch and said he wanted to ride like me.
He asked questions and I answered as best as I could, sometimes talking with him for hours. We adjusted his saddle height immediately after that first ride.
His saddle was a full 5centimeters (about 2inches) too high and I was amazed that he was able to ride the bike.
I told him this was the primary reason he was unable to keep up and it must be impossible to ride this bike. He then told me that after every ride “everything hurts”.
I let him ride with his new saddle height for about a week and then we changed his cockpit, stem was lengthened, lowered and viola he had the perfect road position for his body.
Consistent Training helps you accomplish your goals
As time progressed, during one of our lengthy discussions, he mentioned that it would be great if everything I knew was someplace that he could refer to, because he was overwhelmed with the volume of information I was giving him, while answering his questions.
It was at this tine that he suggested that “with everything you know, you could help a lot of people out there”.
A week later the Veloharmony Channel on YouTube was born.
This was late October 2016. Shortly after that, the website went up to support the channel and as requests for fit both remote and locally increased, I started the Bike fit Studio out of my downstairs work area.
It has been a labor of love since then, because I love cycling and I love helping others.
