Jim's Bicycle Shop - Bikes Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I ride an older Cannondale Six-13 and thanks to a bent hanger I managed to crash my rear derailleur into the back wheel. Jim's provided a very nice, used Campagnolo Record rear derailleur, new chain and cable, and trued the rear wheel. Bike now looks great, the total repair cost was very reasonable and just took a few days. Excellent service... until! First test ride the new derailleur fell apart leaving me stranded again. I managed to collect all the parts and returned to Jim's. Three days later bike was "fixed". Turns out the front derailleur is no longer working - with some effort I fixed that myself. And the chain is too long. I'm planning on fixing that myself too - I'm not going back to Jim's. read more

See all

My bike just needed a safety check to ensure all parts were working properly. No parts needed. Ready when promised. A very nice shop.

Jim did a great job repairing my Pedego E Bike! I ride my bike in remote areas of appalaicha. I must have confidence that my bike won,t break down in the midddle of nowhere. Jim did a really good job making sure my bike was roadworthy and safe. Thanks Jim!! read more

We dropped an electric scooter off to get new brakes. This shop kept my 2024 electric scooter for a week only to return it with the same brakes ‍ Theyre claiming that they don't have or know where to find brakes for that model. So why hold it a week and charge $50 for an incomplete job ? The wire to power the scooter on is also now broken read more

I needed general service on my road bike, and friends were are avid cyclists recommended Jim's. Jim's did not disappoint!! Love supporting family businesses too! I did bring my bike in during COVID, and they had an excellent process in place. I drove up and waved through the window. and a woman came out to receive the bike. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and their service is excellent!! read more

AND I trust that he will provide it at a fair price. Thanks to everyone at JIM'S BICYCLE SHOP! read more

Jim's Bicycle Shop - Bikes Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is a great place to shop, service excellent. Small shop very service oriented, Jim and his staff are second to none

I have been going to Jim's Bicycle Shop for years. I purchased my Lynskey Sportive from Jim in 2016. It's been a great bike and, moreover, I trust Jim to do all needed repairs and tuneups. In addition, I have purchased all my biking gear from Jim - tires, tubes, helmets, gloves, etc. His service is outstanding and reasonably priced as is the merchandise he carries. Consequently, if you're looking for a high-quality bike shop, look no further than Jim's. read more

A Great Place I first visited this shop to have a new bottom bracket installed and they accommodated my need to have it done while I waited. The price was right and so was the work. While I waited for the repair to be finished, I wandered around and found a bike for sale that I've yearned to own for years. The price was right and Jim agreed to let me put it on layaway. When I picked up the bike, one of the mechanics performed a fairly thorough "fitting" before I left. Along with quality, I highly value honesty and integrity in the businesses I patronize.Now that I've found Jim's, I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Great service, very reasonable rates. Had two time-ups on Trek hybrids, and they were done quickly and perfectly.

Great service, family run business (you'll get to know Jim himself if you go), reasonable prices - skip past the chain store or the "bike snob" shops and get to Jim's. By far the best shop in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky. read more

The Best Kept bike-shop secret in Cincinnati ! You can find great deals on high quality bikes at this store. Bought a bike and referred to a friend who bought a mountain bike at a great price. (Cannondale 29er hard tail) This store gets less traffic than the other more known stores (montgomery cyclery, resers, etc) and consequently the prices are less. Don't negotiate, the prices are already better than other stores, do your homework, you'll see. Also, you will probably meet Jim - the owner, because the guy puts his heart into his store and his clients. read more

I took my bike for a tune up and paid $148.62. I had no problems with my bike prior to taking to Jim's. I just felt it was time for a tune-up. I picked my bike up on Friday and went on a 50-mile bike event on Saturday. First, the shift levers' screw came loose after a couple of miles and I had to tighten the screw. Next, 16.1 miles into the bike ride, the rear tire was rubbing on the frame and the SAG people could not repair so we had to stop our ride. Very disappointing. I immediately took my bike back to Jim's and they had to put a washer where the tire connects to the bike (I don't know the names of the technical bike parts). My guess is they forgot to replace the washer when they did the tune-up. I do not recommend Jim's based on my experience. If you do go, expect to have to take your bike back to fix new issues that they created. read more

I had Jim take an old steel touring bike and create an updated gravel bike. New handle bars, shifters, brake levers and fenders. A great conversion! I'm always pleased when I get my bike back from Jim's! read more

Terrible service! Bike wasn't ready when promised AND they tried to charge me $90+ when I was quoted $25!! Bike handles are grease stained as well! I will never come here again and will tell everyone I know to NEVER BRING YOUR BIKE HERE!!!! read more

I bought a Trek Madone with a few years on it from a guy on the internet. Had a few little ticks that I noticed immediately. Brought it into Jim's to have them see if they could get those little creeks out. Jim's wrench (whose name escapes me at the moment) is PASSIONATE about working on bikes. He went on at great length about everything he tweaked, lubricated, adjusted or replaced. It is great to have your bike serviced by an unabashed bike geek. Price was fair. Bike runs like a top. Just a great place to deal with, like Bishop's Bikes USED to be. read more

There is no shop in our area (Cincinnati) that I trust more. Jim measured, ordered and built a custom Waterforf for me. It fit me perfectly. When I switched to recumbents he ordered a Easy Racer Ti-rush for me. Last he ordered and built up a lightning P38 to my specs. He and his family are truly great people. He has given a lot back to his community. Jim is the epitome of the community small business. They are just a darned nice family to do business with. I almost forgot to mention that in addition to being really nice people they really know their stuff about all kinds of bikes. Terry Gaines read more

All of my relatives, friends and co-workers, literally, who are interested in bicycling are loyal customers of Jim's Bicycle Shop. In addition, I purchased the best bicycle I ever owned from Jim many years ago. When my wife and I decided to get back into riding bicycles this year, we went to Jim's Bicycle Shop. Both Jim and his wife helped us to make our selections. As always, they were friendly, informative and professional. We purchased the bicycles and Jim prepped them on the spot so that we could go home and get started riding immediately. All in all, it was a very pleasant shopping experience. Unfortunately, I had a recurring problem with my bicycle. It was difficult to keep the drivetrain in tune for more than about fifty miles at a time. Jim practically bent over backward to rectify it. He ultimately presented me with several options and, in the process, exceeded my expectations. During the entire time, Jim remained patient and understanding. The way in which my problem was handled is what separates a good bicycle shop from a truly great one. It is easy to see why Jim Peters has so many loyal customers. Thank you, Jim! You outdid yourself again. read more

I am just getting into cycling. A friend got her bike from Jim, so I though I would start there. Jim was knowlage, and spent a long time with me, but was not pushy. He measured me and fit a bike to my needs. Being the shopper that I am I did not want to commit yet. Jim told me to shop around and see what is out there. so I did. I was very disapointed in the lack of interest other shops showed in measuring me or finding out what my needs were. Needess to say I whet back to Jim. You can buy a bike anywhere BUT fit & customer service make a sale!!!! Eileen 8/21/12 read more

I've bought two bikes from Jim over the last 25 years and used him to service ones that I've bought elsewhere. He and his staff have helped at rest stops at the MS 150 Bike Ride for years, it's truly a small business that I will pay more to support him than worry about a couple of bucks saved via the internet. On some Saturdays there are three generations of his family waiting on customers. read more

Great place to buy a bike. You get to ride it around the parking lot to check out the bike. Very friendly and helpful service.
