Bicycle House is the brainchild of Owner, and Service Manager, James Balentine. With more than 30 years of cycling industry experience, James has been learning the trade since his first job in 1990, at the young age of 12. For the past three decades he’s helped open, manage, and oversee operations at renowned shops throughout Texas.

In 2004 James started as a team mechanic for the US National Triathlon Team. As of writing he’s supported the team at over 25 World Championships. In 2013 James became a US Paralympic Triathlon Team Mechanic, who’s had the honor of supporting the team at both the Rio and Tokyo Paralympics.

While he’s best known as a talented mechanic, James is no slouch on the bike. In the early 90’s he began racing MTB’s and BMX. By the end of that decade he was the winner of 12 Nationals, riding as a pro from 1999-2005, when his career was cut short due to injury. James now races BMX at an amateur level, as well as jumping into the occasional MTB or CX race.

Bicycle House is an extension of James’ philosophy. Work done right. Straightforward service. Pride of craft.
