I am so glad that a friend recommended this shop. I have been to many bike shops over the years and…read morehave often felt that the mechanics cannot break things down well into layman's terms. I am an amateur cycling enthusiast, not a pro, and a not a mechanic, but I want to feel like I know what is going on with my bike. I brought my triathlon bike to the shop last week and cannot say enough positive things about the mechanics there. Rob was knowledgeable, kind, and explained everything he was going to do on my bike (including tune-up, new tire, new tubes, new chain, new cassette, etc). He also assured me that he is experienced with triathlon bikes from having worked at triathlon shops previously. When I picked up my bike today, it looks like brand new. I can't wait to ride it again now that it has been fixed! Thanks so much to the staff, I can't wait to recommend you to everyone I know!

Edgebrook Cycle is a fantastic business! In this day and age of big box stores and online shopping…read moreI increasingly value and seek out brick and mortar stores that specialize in a specific product and as far as bicycle stores go, Edgebrook Cycle very much scratches that itch. Whether you're looking for a new bike, or getting a tune up on an old bike, or just seeking out an accessory, you will find exactly what you're looking for here. This is the type of place that is both organized and seemingly has everything you're looking for, it kinda feels like a bicycle shop from a movie (and it smells like brand new bicycle tires ). But most of all, after buying a new bike, getting a tune up on an old bike, and purchasing a few locks, I received a hand written thank you card with a sticker! That is the kind of gesture that buys permanent loyalty from this customer. My only quibble is that they should get stickers of their business logo since it's pretty dope looking.

My need for speed forced me to sell my very-nice-two-year-old-mint-condition-hybrid bike cuz it…read morejust wasn't doing it for me anymore. I needed something lighter and faster. 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.

From the outside, the Village Cycle Center is inviting and charming. The interior is no less…read moreinteresting with stairs and a great sales floor. My main gripe at this point is not about any work done on my bike but rather about the inner tube offering. I have been going to get inner tubes for years at Village and they don't last at all. They are usually over in a summer and with very little usage. In fact they deflate over time. I always see the same inner tubes there, so I am wondering if they have any other options. I haven't been this summer. Hopefully they have some other selection but I doubt it. It's as if no one has raised an issue about them.

I've had a hard time trying to frame this. I'll try this…read more I had to listen to a performative dood talk emanating from the floor worker to a customer about chain lubricant that went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And on an on an on an on and on. And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And on and on and on and on and on an on and on and on and on and on. It was a long time. I waited. And I waited some more. I did some serious waiting five feet away in a red sweater. No acknowledgment. No letting me know it might be a while. But that would've likely stopped the upselling I started to see. So I turned me and my bike around and left. It's hard for me to be on my feet that long. That's why I bike. Dood has a right to be into his subject matter. Usually shops want you to feel comfortable and respected as somewhat of a priority, even if you aren't being directly pitched at the moment... it just was not a good vibe. All doods working there when I was in. Way heavy on the dood vibe. Captive audience syndrome. Sigh. Dood has to do what a dood does. I avoid places like this. Going to the bike collective in Rogers Park instead next time.

Needed a new seat quickly and stopped in with my bike on my route home…read more They were able to recommend a seat and put it on right there without a wait. 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!!

I... am one of those people. I did a simple Yelp search for bike repairs in the area and Cog Cycles came up. I read the few reviews they had and headed over to Google. I mean, who doesnt use Google nowadays right? After lots of raving reviews about the Brian and Liz, I decided to take a chance on them! I gave them a call with no answer. That's okay, they may be busy. You can always leave your name and number with them. Weirdly, I was able to send a message to them through Google (seriously when was THIS a thing?!). They reached out to be by phone the next day and was available to take a look at my bike. I brought my bike in and Brian got to looking at it. He let me know what was wrong with my bike and asked what exactly did I want done. Do I just want to get it rideable or possibly do any custom work on it and so forth. Me? I just want it to get me to point A to point B without falling apart. Brian and Liz are absolutely friendly and helpful! Brian personally looked at my bike and made some suggestions on what should be change and what can still be kept on it. He is trying to SAVE you money. If there is some "life" on a part on the bike, Brian will let you know it doesnt have to be changed. He is a honest guy. He gives you a rough estimate when it will be done. I would suggest to call ahead of time and check to see if your bike is ready. They are a small shop and there's only two of them. Plus, the shop can only accommodate two other people at a time (during this pandemic of course.) I will definitely keep them as my regular for any bicycle needs! Check out my beauty.

I've been doing my own work on bikes for the last two or three years, and I found a good deal on a bike that needed a fair bit of work. Ciclo Urbano was the closest shop to me, so I thought I'd go down for a few parts that I needed. I've been to Ciclo Urbano for everything from bearings to chain lube to derailleur hangers. I've even gone just asking for advice. They never pressure me to buy anything, nor do they discourage me from doing my own work. Not a pretentious person in the place, which is greatly appreciated in a world full of uptight, self-important bike mechanics. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable, and they, like me, love talking about bikes! I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of their rebuilds, and I'm looking forward to attending their open shop hours for some work that I don't want to do without a stand. This is as good as a local bike shop gets. Don't hesitate to go and look around.
