    I've been coming to this bike shop for 20 years, great service, great prices and always honest…read moreabout what you need !! Chicago's Finest !! Glen H.

    The best local business I've used in at least a decade…read more I got a great hybrid bike at a great price, that I'm still loving a year-plus later. And everything like tune-ups, oiling, and flat repairs are free. (Ron fixed the flat by replacing the tube.) After a year, one of my gears started skipping a gear, which I pointed out when he replaced the inner tube, and Ron pointed out where the wiring had frayed some--probably whacked against something, he said--and he immediately stripped it all out, replaced it and fine-tuned it expertly. No charge. Had me test ride it around the block, to be sure. The 1st thing that impressed me, though, was when I came in looking in August, there were a ton of bikes, but I'm 6'1" and Ron said none of them were big enough for me, but he would get more in 3 days, so call back then. I really respect someone who WON'T sell me something, because it's not right. They're very close so I stopped by a few times, we talked more, and he had a big enough road bike, but he said what I'd been describing was a hybrid, and if that's what I wanted, I should wait. He went over the pros/cons of each, and I said definitely a hybrid. He said he got far fewer, so I checked in every week or two, and in November, 3 months from the start, he had a hybrid big enough. It was perfect, and I bought it. I wanted a more comfortable seat, so he had me pick the one I wanted from all the bikes and he swapped it in. I bet 99% of customers would have gone somewhere else long before, so he'd given up most of his chance at a sale, and could have easily sold me on a shorter bike being ok, but wouldn't do it. Ron is super-nice and great to talk to, and his wife Sonja is too, so it's always a pleasure. Love this place.

    I have visited this place several times over the years, and one of the things I love is unlike most…read morebike shops, you can get your tune up while you wait. That isn't always convenient, but it is a nice option to have. I really appreciate being able to watch the mechanic work since they do the work outside. If there is going to be a wait, the lakefront is a short walk and an enjoyable way to kill time. A few weeks ago I had the day off to bike around the lakefront. My bike was squeaking and rattling and needing a little care and saw there was no line there. The mechanic took a look, roughed up and adjusted my brake pads, and cleaned the wheel and inflated it. When I ask what I owed him, he didn't charge me anything. Just a straight up act of kindness on his part. I hope that good karma he put out comes back to him and this place.

Couldn't be better timing. I explain and show my bike tire. he says he has a replacement tire, I wait about 25 minutes and he starts working on my bike. 10 minutes later says the tire wont fit, he cant do it, sorry. Huh?, please put my original tire back on and ill go to Kozy on the other side of lake shore Dr. Begrudgingly agrees to put my tire back on. I try and petal, the bike doesn't work. He says there is a problem with back axle. I said please just put it back as it was when I arrived, ill go to Kozy. He said I'm not listening. "if you can just make it petal so I can get to Kozy." repeats I'm not listening. Then tells me he has to charge $10 for his time. All true. I walked to Kozy on Halsted, had my bike working in 20 minutes. WARNING: run from this place, he is a bicycle butcher. He doesn't know what he's doing. BE CAREFUL here.
