Most bike shops can be very belittling places to visit if you're not versed in bicycles or their mechanics. Asking questions can sometimes get you snotty answers. But not at bicycle station. It's a great neighborhood bike shop. It seems to focus more on the repair than retail end of things but that's fine for me. The owner and the guys who work there are really friendly and helpful. If you've got a problem, they'll fix it- without the attitude. read more

Great customer service, great bike service and great owner! Nothing negative about this place. Mike is a truly a fine gentleman and business man. Support our small business owners! read more

Best price. Fastest service. The bike looks great. What more do you want?

Amazing place. Really cheap prices, and Mike really cares about the work he does. Oh and he works very quickly...what's not to like!?

The dude actually built me my dream bike in my dream budget (well kinda . I am absolutely broke and would rather not paying a penny) in less than two hours. I ended up leaving with a one speed (my speed is my legs and gears are old fashion especially if you are riding the streets of NYC) road bike for 200$ and a with a big smile and loads of good advice. I highly recommend. read more

Great work! The owner is extremely helpful and willing gives advice! Highly recommended

Business must be good for bicycle station. The owner flatly refused to repair a puncture. It's for an electric bike. I strongly wouldn't recommend going to this bike shop. A waste of time and effort. read more

Mike is an incredibly helpful and friendly business owner. I brought in two bikes this afternoon, one where the chain had broken and a used bike that I bought this morning that I wanted to get tuned up. The first bike he paid very careful attention to, doing more than just replace the chain. He aligned the tires, lubricated some joints, and paid really close attention to details. It's clearly a labor of love for him. The other bike was in great shape, and, deferring to his judgment on what he thought needed to be done to it, he said that everything was good and that I didn't need to have any service done to it at this point. He wasn't trying to get a bunch of money out of me. He was honest and trustworthy. A great service shop, and I'll definitely do all of my repairs at this store. read more

Great place! The guy who runs it, Mike, was super helpful. I bought a new bike today and he was great about adjusting it for me. And the bike was great, I summarized my first ride here: http://www.krubner.com/blog/2011/04/02/my-magical-new-bicycle/ read more

I live close by but usually buy stuff online and make my own repairs. However, the few times I've found myself in a jam, this place was always able to help. Really really nice guys that run the place. -Peppa read more

The only bike shop you need. Best deal in Brooklyn at $49 for a comprehensive tune up. The owner Mike is great and takes good care of your bike. You can't go wrong here - highly recommend. read more

I have gotten 2 tune ups from Mike and I am very satisfied with the work. When I was picking up my last bike, he pointed out a couple of problems he noticed on my bike and advised to change my maintenance methods. Honest mechanic and readily available to answer any bicycle related questions. read more

It's really great place to bring your bike. They fix everything I needed (Brake lines, gear lines, and fixed my rim). Road it home (15 minutes by bike) no problem. My only issue was that I was quoted $60 and ended up paying $73 All my friends claim these guys are the best so I'm not worried. read more

Let me just put it sweet and simple: Bicycle Station is the best bike shop in NYC. Mike is probably the most competent bike mechanic in this hemisphere. Go here. Pay whatever they ask. Leave with your bike working better than it did even when it was brand new. Seriously. These guys are THE BEST. Patronize them. read more

Mike is the best. Super nice guy, excellent work, quick turnaround, and fair prices. Highly recommend!

I got at this bike store and I got exactly was I was looking for. My seat has been stolen last night. They put me a new seat with the bar, plus a chain wrapped in a tire attached to the seat to make safer the sea. Everything, including the seat, for $40. Plus, nice chatting with Mike, the owner, and mechanical. Much better than other overpriced stores around the area... read more

My bike is running like new after getting the most affordable overhaul I've ever seen in NY. You won't go wrong bringing your bike here

Though I've only been to Bicycle Station a few times, they're very helpful with biking needs. Upon moving to Brooklyn, I knew I'd need to use the old bike more often, and after getting knocked around in the moving truck and also being out of practice for a few years, I wanted to get my bike checked out before taking on the roads. They gave me a free look-over, plus a couple of bike maps so I could familiarize myself with the proper routes. Overall, they were really helpful and knowledgable even though all I needed to buy from them was a $1 pump converter. If anything should ever happen to my bike, this will be the first place I turn to for help! read more

I had hoped for better service especially after reading in TimeOut that this place is known for great service. However I dropped my bike off two weeks ago and everytime I went to pick it up, it wasnt ready. I would not recommend this store unless you need a place for bicycle storage. read more

Man, I love this place. Since moving to Brooklyn, I've never gone anywhere else for my bike needs - lock, flat tire fixing, gear tightening, all that jazz. I live in Bed Stuy, so I'm thrilled they moved to Park Ave. The prices are more than fair, they'll always put some air in your tires before you take off and most importantly, they know what they're doing. read more

Simply put, this is one of the best shopping experiences I have ever had, period, not even comparing with other bike shops since bike shops tend to be below average business interactions given the attitude or incompetence (in spite of sometimes good intentions). Out of seemingly random parts, Mike put together a beautiful bicycle that fit perfectly -- both for the intended use of the bike and the fit of the frame/components. Just a wonderful interaction all around. If I could give this the highest Yelp review ever, I would. read more

Great customer service. I don't know anything about bikes and they treated me really great when my bike had problems. Cheap fix and fast turnaround. read more

I was hit by a van coming off the Manhattan Bridge and realized that my rim had been bent out of commission, so I walked into this bike shop I'd never been to before and promptly started crying when I tried to explain what I needed because I was still so shaken. The employee or possibly owner was incredibly calm and comforting, and replaced my rim with a used one for $25. He made sure to clean it carefully, test it out, and fill my tires, all in record time. I highly recommend this place! read more

I just got my bike back from the Bicycle Station and I am extremely happy with the service and cost. Originally, I took my bike to R&A after my bike accident. Felix at R&A told me that I needed to get lots of things replaced on my bike. Luckily, I decided against using them and went to the Bicycle Station instead. Mike told me my bike was fine, did some adjustments, cleaned the gears, trued the wheel and changed the handle bar tape for $30 AND with a good attitude. I have heard from other people that the turn around time can be ridiculous there. I got my bike back the same day. I suppose they aren't as busy in the winter. I would definitely recommend Bicycle Station for it's honest respectful service. read more

When I had about 1/2 my bike ripped off by a particularly crafty thief (handlebars, gearshifts, brakes, fork, headset, even the bearings for chrissakes), the turnaround time for replacing & installing all the missing parts here was 24 hrs! and reasonably priced. The handiwork was a little shoddy on the front brake but they made good by replacing it (again) and giving the bike another free tune-up. read more

You can't beat this location. Best bike shop in America. The owner is a true humanitarian who brings an almost spiritual devotion to bicycles. That said, he's accessible, friendly, kind. He's a fantastic mechanic,and repairs are always of the highest quality. And you can't beat his prices. read more

Super nice, but my experience is that they don't even start to work on the bike until you've come to pick it up.

When I lived around the block in Prospect Heights, Bicycle Station was my go-to place for little tune-ups, or big fix-ups like the time a snow plow bent my 3-speed in half. Mike took the wreck off my hands and called me as soon as a suitable replacement came in. Their prices were always fair and the service good. Now that they've moved to Clinton Hill (following me around guys?) I'll have to swing by. They had a free air hose on Vanderbilt, but don't know yet if the new location has one as well. read more

I blew a tire on the 5 Boro Bike Tour and the volunteers at the rest area had run out of spares. Luckily this place was only a few blocks away. I was in and out in five minutes for a better price than I'd get in Pennsylvania. Saved my butt (which wore out on the way to Staten Island). read more

I walked right in and within 10 minutes had a flat replaced and I was out the door. I didn't have to leave the bike and come back. The owner quickly finished what he was working on, took care of my problem and I was out the door for only $10. I don't think you could possibly ask for more than that. I will 100% come back here for any maintenance I need in the future. read more

Have been several times, service is always fast, friendly, and the prices are great. I *always* take my bike here!

Stopped in to get a replacement piece for my toddlers inexpensive bike. The guy in the shop didn't have it, but recommended I check out nearby places. Turns out he looked at the piece and I only need a new lug "nut" not a "whole new piece". Super cheap fix and he was nice. Will be back. read more

Super helpful guy who is also the subject of a documentary. He had repaired my bikes very well and at a lower cost than pretty much any place in NYC. He did my tune ups, replaced parts, changed tires, replaced brakes, etc. and when I moved, he gave me a box to pack my bike with helped me pack my bike up for free. I certainly miss him now that I'm no longer in the city. Highly recommend this shop! read more

Friendly, clean, clear displays, not a hint of condescenscion, and the store's owner let me use his Allen wrench when I came in with a bike whose handlebars had suddenly come frighteningly loose. I'll be buying from this place in the future. read more

Mike is awesome and extremely skilled. His rates are excellent and the service is very fast. He is honest and passionate about the work that he does, and always does his best to please all the customers who come into his shop. I don't know why anyone would rate Bicycle Station anything less than 5 stars. I will always come back here even if I have to walk a long way (the only public transportation nearby is a bus stop, if you can get your bike on the bus), but it's not a long walk (less than 20 minutes) from the nearest subway stations. read more

I went over there during the summer to get a flat fixed. While I was waiting, the two dudes started messing with my breaks trying to "fix" them, even though I was completely fine with the brakes and didn't ask for them to check it. By the time I left I realized my right brake was no longer working. Needless to say I haven't gone back. read more

This is the greatest place ever!! I was sad they moved from Vanderbilt all of two blocks away from my house but despite the "pro" bike shop on 5th avenue (NEVER go here again, jerks!) and other local bike shops , Bicycle Station reigns the best, friendliest and most helpful. Even though it's more of a haul to get there for me now I will continue to get my bike serviced here for as long as I live in Brooklyn. I recommend this place to everyone! read more

So, I have to agree with everyone. This place is great! The prices are good, and the work is honest. Mike took his time with me on the phone and in person to answer all my questions. He gave my bike a badly needed tune up and replaced the tires and seat. The service was speedy (next day) and excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better experience- so thanks Bicycle Station for supporting me and my 40 mile Ride for Success!!! read more

Best Bike repair shop in brooklyn. Mike will quote you a price over the phone for most things and he has common request pricing listed on the wall in his shop. His prices are very fair. Today, he replaced my stolen front tire and fixed my front break for $25 (broken when my tire was stolen). I was in and out of his shop in like 15 minutes. It's nice to have a reliable, inexpensive, expedient bike shop - perhaps a couple blocks off the beaten path. It's well worth getting there. read more

These guys are great. They will do everything they can to have you in and out quickly while providing quality work at a responsible price.
