Alex's Bikes - Cruiser with locks and helmet - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Renting bikes from Alex was one of the best decisions we made on our recent trip to Nola. We stayed at Hotel Peter and Paul in the Marigny and were just a few minutes walk from his bike shop. Alex is friendly, courteous, and happily answered all our questions. We canceled our rental car reservation when we learned we could get around much more efficiently on bikes. His cruisers are cute, comfy, and he provided us with bike locks and helmets. Pickup and returns were super easy. We'll definitely be visiting him again when we return! read more

Alex's Bikes - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Exactly what I wanted for a bike rental - something I could keep for 24 hours so I already had a bike to ride when I started my day. The guys at the shop were helpful and easygoing. They made it simple to do a return even though the shop was closed when I brought it back. The bike was a sturdy and smooth running cruiser, which was good for leisurely getting around. I was staying in the Warehouse District, and it was convenient enough to walk through the Quarter to them. Some might consider it a long walk, but there's plenty to look at along the way. read more

This is the third and best bike shop I have rented from while in Nola Without question this will be my go to from now on. The owner is way cool and personable. Great vibe and good bikes. We rented 2 bikes for about 5 hours for $40. Can't beat it. The bikes were in great shape and rode nicely. Nothing on the bike was beat up and not in good working order. Riding is a great way to get around and see Nola. Alex's is the perfect place to get that started. Good luck in the playoffs. read more

Quick review : What an outstanding experience! If you want to rent a bike in New Orleans for an exceptionally great price ($3 per hour!) with excellent customer service, Alex's Bikes is your place. Details : All credit to my boyfriend for discovering Alex's darling little purple shop. We were looking for an inexpensive and convenient bike rental in New Orleans so we could ride up to City Park and explore for the day. Most places in NOLA are $10 per hour per bike. Alex's Bikes rents for $3 an hour!! It should be noted that they only offer cruisers with coaster brakes (back pedal to stop) for rent. But for our purposes, this was perfect! The rental comes with a helmet, lock/key and bike basket. From the moment we walked in to the time we left on two bikes, the rental process took about 5 minutes. You fill out some quick paperwork, provide a credit card for a deposit of $1.09 and try out the bike seat height for size, which they help you adjust. They also gave us great recommendations for how to safely bike to City Park. We ended up keeping our cruisers for 4 hours, and cut it a little close making it back before their 6pm closing time. Not only did Alex text me to check in and confirm that we were planning to be back before closing, but he ended up waiting for us as we had mentioned that we wanted to return same day. Very considerate! Give Alex's Bikes a visit and you will not be disappointed! read more

Alex's Bikes - Happy camper at Alex's Bikes! - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Had a great, easy experience here. Sitting just off the corner of Marigny and Chartres, directly behind the Friendly Bar, the storefront boasts an edgy décor with an equally alluring (and pretty cool) logo on display. The shop is aesthetically pleasing. Quaint, yet abundant with accessories, bike rentals, and a vibe inviting of the possibility to unknowingly spend more time in a bike shop than you'd expect without growing impatient. Alex was great in fixing a previous issue I was having with my bike after having it serviced at a different shop. Even though my issue was rather minor, I could see he had quite a few other bikes to be worked on, yet I was able to get my bike in, serviced, and out the same day. Almost unheard of at any other bike shop I've been to no matter how big or small the issue. Pricing I found to be fair, not much different than most other shops, but I'd choose to come here in the future because of the more personal interaction. I was impressed at the fact that Alex remembered customers returning to get their bikes, by name. To me, that shows a level of service and dedication that is not to go unrecognized. Not being much of a night rider, I hadn't previously had any head or tail lights on my bike. It took no convincing, merely a brief conversation, slight impulsion, and the comfort in knowing I'd be safer having them, to make that purchase. He even threw them on my bike and had me out of there in no time. Great bike shop with even better service, I highly recommend. Great job! read more

I was charged $30 for something Gerken's would have done for free and got a dirty look when I skipped the Tip option on payment. If you want to go to one of New Orlean's overpriced tourist traps, do yourself a favor and at least go to one with Air Conditioning. read more

The perfect place to rent bikes to explore New Orleans. My wife and I rented two bikes for 24 hours. Pick up and drop off was so easy. Highly recommend! read more

I went to Alex's to have my Vilano road bike assembled. They did an excellent job. When I brought it in they said they were pretty busy and it would take 5-7 days to get to it. They texted me in 2 days to say the bike was ready. I am happy to say they did an outstanding job. Nice and very professional people. read more

Tourist beware, he will rip you off!! Trying to take advantage of the situation and is over charging. You can go to Walmart and buy a bike cheaper. read more

By far the best bike repair experience I've had in New Orleans. I've been here for a decade, and I've tried them all. Honest, quick and fair pricing make this shop the place to go for your bicycle needs. read more

A dear friend of mine bought me a snazzy mint green Reid bike from this wonderful bike shop. I have dealt with several different co-workers and also the owner...all have been a true pleasure to deal with. I love talking with people and even though they are always busy working on something, the guys never make me feel like a nuisance when I am chatting away. I agree with reviewer Simon B...Genuine...Friendly...Quick...Quality...and Great prices! You cannot go wrong with this bike shop. You will want to come back for more. Plus I also just found out that they work with a charity/nonprofit (apologies if I am getting the title wrong) bike shop called RUBARB (Rusted Up Beyond All Recognition Bikes)...which makes me love this bike shop even more. Keep up the great work guys!! read more

Best bike shop experience ever. It's so refreshing to meet somebody that knows how to treat a customer. Alex went above and beyond...such a nice guy and recommended a few routes on the bike. Bikes were great...he adjusted, etc....excellent experience. Also, his prices are more competitive than downtown. It's worth the $8 Uber ride to rent from Alex's. read more

Just bought My second bike in a row from Alex's bikes. Both of them Ace quality, the only reason I had to buy my second one that I just got a little more upgraded from my last, and The fact that I ride bikes very frequently and very hard ...so I go through them quickly, but Alex's bikes has always been there for every one of my bicycle needs! Every employee treats me with the utmost respect and makes sure everyone of my needs is taken care of as soon as I walk through the doo, especially Alex himself...who I've known for quite a few years and have completely made sure that everyone I know, knows that that's the place to go for bikes And all your bike repairs that you'll need! read more

12/10, highly recommend. Alex's Bikes made our weekend in NOLA so wonderful :) The nicest bikes around, and Stephen was incredibly helpful with our rentals, as well as with local food and drink recs. Go here for sure! read more

We went here today to rent bikes in the bywater. Alex, the owner, is such a nice guy and the rental price is so fair. The cruisers were perfect for exploring the ByWater and made for a perfect day! Awesome spot. read more

when we arrived Alex had our bikes ready and made sure they they were adjusted to our fit. He was super helpful about where to go and what to see. Price and Service are the best..will only rent from him when we are here Jason Jolgren read more

Fast, friendly, knowledgeable service. They helped transform my Colorado bike into a New Orleans bike, affordably and with a smile. A neighborhood gem. read more

Alex recently sold me an awesome Harrier at a great price! Even though I was looking at a more expensive bike, he convinced me to give the Harrier a try since he thought it fit my size and needs better. He was right, and I made off with a nice new ride cheaper than I expected. I also wanted new tires and tube protectors, and he had them available for installation on the spot. I highly recommend Alex and his bike shop! read more

Just like Yelp says, Alex's Bikes are as good as it gets. We rented 6 bikes from Alex for a couple of days at a time over the course of a week. The bikes were in good condition and he fitted them for everyone in the party. His prices were competitive and he took time to talk to us about what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. His suggestions were spot on. Best of all, Alex is a super nice guy and you know he's going to take care of you. He really helped us out on our last day in town. We stumbled in as tourists looking for a bike rental and left as friends. I'll be renting from Alex the next time we're in town and I would heartily recommend Alex, his shop and his bikes to anyone looking for a bike rental! read more

Alex was so friendly and laid back, not to mention more affordable than other nearby bike rentals. We rented bikes from him for only a few hours. Explored the French Quarter, Marigny, & Bywater. It was so much fun! I wish we'd discovered this earlier in our trip so we could have done more if it! read more

I'm a local that always goes to Alex's! If my tires are worn down by the grumpy streets of New Orleans, or stolen in the heat of the night, I know Alex has my back. Now my bike rides like butter on hot bread read more

The best, quickest and by far the most affordable tune up I've ever gotten. I expected a bill that was twice what I paid. And my bike now rides like it's on clouds. Thanks Alex! read more

Sold my bike before moving here and don't have a good place to store one, so I've been looking for a place to rent a bike for the occasional in-town recreational ride. I found the other shops in this part of town to be really expensive (could have bought a decent bike for the cost of three or four rentals) but I stumbled upon Alex's place recently and saw that, for people like me who only want to ride for a half day or less, he has a very reasonable price structure, which includes a helmet and a lock - a great deal. Plus, he's friendly and helpful. I am happy I found Alex's and I plan to become a regular customer. read more

Nice little place in bywater... alex was friendly and welcoming. It's centrally locates.

Great neighborhood bike shop for rentals, bicycle repairs and accessories. Fixed my bike on the spot this weekend and couldn't be happier. Met the owner Alex last week and Taylor worked on my bike this weekend while I waited. Will definitely return to get my other bicycle fixed! read more

Best bike rental place ever!! So nice and flexible. They also have the best prices. We 100% recommend them for bike rentals!!

Alex is super helpful and friendly while providing great customer service with excellent results. Support this wonderful local business!

Great new addition to the neighborhood. Knowledgeable, friendly, service-oriented business. Highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I had a short trip to New Orleans planned. A bike ride through the city ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, thanks to Alex. We originally chose this business because the prices were cheaper than the other bike rentals in town. In addition to price, he was extremely helpful, friendly, and gave excellent recommendations. If you are traveling through and looking for a bike rental, come here!!! read more

To be beguiled by a bike shop leaves one in awe of the enormity of the contributions local business men make to the lives of their customers and their community. It was serendipity to find Alex's Bikes the in Bywater in an unassuming garage that beckons like cocoa to a marshmallow. My wife and I had purchased bikes just that day from a Walmart. Not top of the line but needing a professional's caress. Alex interrupted his work, a challenging task during Jazz Fest, and put us back on the road without once making us feel that we were obstacles to the completion of his day. Heartily recommended!!! I will be his client in the future. read more

We were visiting Nola for the first time and are so glad we rented bikes from Alex. The shop was well-designed and organized, it was super easy to get bikes and fill out the paperwork (less than 10 minutes), he was flexible and he gave us recommendations (and bike routes) for things to see in the city. He even offered to let us keep the bikes for a couple extra days free-of-charge since he'd be closed one day. Plus, biking around was a great way to see the city. Thanks Alex! read more

Alex is awesome! This is the first bike shop I have heard of where if you get a flat or something is wrong with your bike, they will come out to help you with it! Now thats awesome customer service! read more

Bikes and equipment were all in great shape. No issues. Rates were great. Shop was extremely clean. Alex was super nice. We had fun riding all around despite the heat! We will definitely rent from Alex's again! Thanks Alex! read more

Came to Alex's after my poor feet had enough pavement. The shop was close to were I was staying. Alex is a great guy and I sat and chatted with him several times before and after returning my bike. He has a quiet shop and I appreciated his rates. Would absolutely rent from him again! read more

Really great shop & Alex is a cool guy. Rates are decent and it's a great way to do a tour of the city.
