I like that this shop is small and less intimidating than some of the other big ones around town. I feel like you could be a regular here and they would know your name, etc. Small businesses are the best!!

After traipsing through a million Chicago bike shops, my quest for the best ultimately led me to my local Trek dealer, Village Cycle Center - and their remarkably patient salesperson named Pierce (no relation to Pierce Brosnan... or so he says). Pierce answered all my annoying questions, after which he asked me several of his (they were not annoying). He then put me on a bike and measured me against various bike angles, before walking me through my various road bike options. No other salesperson spent as much time with me and no other bike shop made me feel so confident in my choice as Village Cycle. Bottom line: I bought a Trek Domane. And I love it.

The cheap stem valve to the inner tube on my wife's $5000 wheelchair failed the evening before we…read morewere to leave for NYC. Needless to say NuMotion couldn't replace it for 2 weeks but after visiting two other bicycle shops and making a dozen phone calls, Russ at Village Cycle Center courteously and efficiently replaced the inner tube (including modifying the rim to accommodate a Presta Valve) while I waited. The man is worth his weight in gold. IF YOU HAVE A WHEELCHAIR THAT NEEDS MAINTENANC, try here.

I came to the store to get a tire changed. The staff seemed knowledgeable. The store had a large…read moreselection of parts, tools, and other miscellaneous equipment. I asked if they could use my current tube, which was not damaged, in the new tire. They said they had to use their own tube in the new tire which is very fair. The new tube even comes included in the labor cost of changing the tire. However, I wish they asked me if I wanted my old tube back before discarding it, as many bike shops do. I can excuse this if the tube was punctured, but it wasn't. I could have used that as a spare tube or something. Tubes are around $10 so not a huge deal but that would've been nice. I also wished they asked me if I preferred a certain tire pressure before inflating my tire to an arbitrary PSI. Sure, some people don't have a preferred pressure, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Especially if someone is purchasing a $100+ tire. Again, not a huge deal as I can just change it at home but would've been nice. Overall, still a good experience.

But the prices have just gotten insane that and the weird hours most bike shops have nowadays (12-6; no way to pick up a bike before work) I went in today to get my bike fixed and was quoted like 60+ dollars for fixing the front brake and the flat tire. Not only that but the person I was talking to seemed to be not straightforward from the beginning of how much I was going to pay Now I think everyone should get paid fairly for their labor but that's just kind of an absurd price. Maybe when I go to another bike shop I will find it's the same but I'm willing to take a chance.

Amazing experience here. Didn't realize they were open 7days a week or I would have come in earlier…read morebut I got off work a little earlier and walked my bike over an hour before closing. The owner recommended a basic assessment first since this was a bike I just got from a friend. With the assessment he filled my tires, checked for leaks, adjusted my pedal and handlebar tightness, and oiled my chain up. He also taught me how to shift gears and pointed out my bracks were switched (right hand controlled front). In the end he also lowered my seat for a better fit. The assessment was great at ensuring my bike was ride ready and not dangerous. He also recommended what would be good follow up and pricing if I wanted a more thorough tuning for problem areas that he showed me during the assessment but wasn't pushy about it. I was back home with my bike before in under 30mins. Great price transparency. Owner had great knowledge of bikes and brands. Also has free automatic tire pump and recommended I drop by every 1-2wks to keep my tires plump. I'm excited to get back to riding with this new bike!
