The staff is friendly, helpful and understand how important riding is to people and are eager to get you going again. They treat every person like they matter. I was in getting a wheel trued one week and when I returned other next they remembered my name and were super helpful. A super nice touch was the $1 off coupons they hand out for the coffee shop next door so you can get some brew while you wait. A great LBS that has won my loyal business.

They always have a good selection of affordable commuter grade bikes for sale. Its also a great…read moreplace to check out if you like working on your own bike but don't necessarily have all the tools or facility to do so. The memberships are pretty cheap. As for the rest of us, who don't like to get down and dirty with our bikes and would prefer to spend more time riding our bikes than working on them, you might want to go to a real bike shop. Its okay for the occasional tube or bike light purchase but if you frequent the shop, you might be STRONGLY encouraged to buy a membership. I stopped visiting due to this a few years ago and I'm not the only one who would rather pay more elsewhere to avoid being harassed into a membership. If I have to pay a little more for the supplies, I'm okay with that, but I don't want to buy a membership to work on my bike if I'm never going to do so. I would rather pay a mechanic to work on my bike for me so I can spend that time doing things more important to me. Its also not a great place for high end or high quality items. They're mainly catering to the college/commuter crowd. But if you're looking for a deal! This is the place to go!

Any issues that I had with my bike prior to the tune-up were gone. Not only this, but my bike is now almost completely silent while riding. Gear shifting is smoother than ever and my bike rides like it's brand new. Other bicycle stores in the same area charge $100-150 for a tune-up. I paid only $75, another reason to give Wilson's a try. It also didn't take much time for my bike to be ready for pickup, about 3 days. Give Wilson's a try!

I bought a bike from Bruce back in the early 1980s, and foolishly left it behind during an…read moreinternational move. I was back in Urbana for a day and thought i might check in. Say hello, and consider a new bike. The shop is not in condition to open. There is junk on the floor one would have to step over starting 3 feet into the shop and going back forever. The sign on the door made mention of a pandemic order from three years ago. I asked at other nearby businesses, and was told he'd had some health issues. I hope he can find his way back to health and work, because he does know about bicycles. I'm thinking of you, Bruce!

Just. Don't. Bother…read more I knew ahead of time that Bruce was known for being really abrasive. I didn't care as long as he was able to fix my bike. He mostly did... eventually. His hours are horrendous (3hrs a day) and he's not always there during the posted times (happened to me twice!). As everyone knows, he's intentionally rude. I called after not hearing anything for over a week and he rattled off some excuse and hung up on me. When I finally went in to pick up my bike he had already done extra work that we hadn't discussed and charged me for it. And the pièce de résistance...the front brake is now screwed up. He mentioned it was hard to take off and there are some tool marks on it. I honestly don't mind that, but the brake lever is SUPER loose now and I think the caliper is bent. The ironic part is he criticized the workmanship of anyone/everyone who had previously worked on the bike pretty much the whole time I was in his shop. I don't care if he's "eccentric". I was willing to overlook his attitude and the fact that his shop literally smells like a litter box, but it's just not worth it.
