Jon did a good deed by restoring and returning a bike I dropped off recently at St. Louis Park's clean-up day, where the City will dispose of your large unwanted goods. I gave them my 30-year-old Trek 730 that had fallen into a bad state of disrepair because I hadn't ridden in so long and hadn't maintained it. I had regrets afterward, because I had loved that bike, which fit me just right and had taken me many miles. I had thought it was probably too far gone to be repairable and figured it might have gone to the scrap heap. But I contacted the City of SLP, anyway, to ask. A few days later, their solid waste manager contacted me and said the bike was being reconditioned at Jonny Rock and that I could get in touch with them. This I did, and Jon contacted me when the work was done. There it was, my old bike, completely restored and ready to ride again. Better yet, Jon said he was only charging me for the repair as if I had brought it in on my to be repaired rather than charging me for the bike as if I were a new person coming in to buy. read more

I've taken my bike to the Bloomington location for a tune up. They did a great job and fixed my tire. It was a lot less $ than I expected! Highly recommend. read more

Absolute crap experience. I went in for a simple flat tire and a creaky crank. Quoted $25 for the flat fix. I left paying $65, and they somehow made everything worse. The crank still creaks, the wheel & tire are now wobbly, and they removed my tire insert, which I now have to reinstall on my own. They said the valve is leaking but didn't fix it. Just aired it up and sent me off. Also, one employee was out front smoking when I arrived, and the other one acted like we woke him up from a nap in the back of the shop. UPDATE TO JON: You guys charged me for expedited service. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time. You charged me for brake service which I did not ask for. You charged me an e-bike up charge, which is silly. My front tire is exactly the same as any non-e-bike. You charged me for fixing the crank, which did nothing. If you're going to charge for it, at least test it to see if the fix did anything at all. It didn't. The shop employees said they'd call when it was ready. They didn't. I'm not coming back. I'm not calling you back. And I'm certainly not letting your shop touch my bikes again. Good luck to you. read more

We have been in and out of both of Jon's bike shops! Jon runs a decent, honest business; (FOR YEARS) and has more knowledge than any other shop we have been to! Not only that, he is a good human being...his prices are excellent...and all repairs are done quickly, and correctly. I won't go anywhere else. read more

Great bike shop and owners! Bought bikes here, get all my families bikes tuned up, top notch service. Highly recommend!

I got their e-bike tuneup and put on new tires and pedals. I told them about the squeaky brakes. When I got the bike back-- everything is ,h better than when new. Rides silently, braking is effective and silent, the ride itself is much smoother even on rough pavement. Their extra effort paid off and I'm grateful. read more

I was looking for a wheel for a rebuild project and the shop had exactly what I needed, at a reasonable price. The clerk showed me a bunch of options and we had a fun convo about bike stuff. This felt like a great practical shop: not a giant bike warehouse or a lifestyle brand shop, but a place that sells reasonable bikes, parts and service. read more

Three years ago I brought my bike in for a tune up, and I mentioned the front tire had a slow leak and I asked to have the lining replaced and/or the tire, whichever would take care of it. After I picked it up, I noticed I wasn't charged for it and a week later, the front tire was flat again. I never got around to bringing it back until last week, and just asked to replace the tires and front lining. When I picked up the bike I explained what happened last time and asked if there was a warranty so I wouldn't have the same issue again. The guy at the register said no, there wasn't. I said I understood if there was a puncture or something that I caused, but just for the tires themselves, even a limited warranty? No. I guess I didn't know that was a thing. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, but the guy acted like I was. I dropped it, paid for it, and then he made a personal comment, saying I should go find an Air Conditioner and sit in front of it. It was hot and I walked a half mile there in the sun and I sweat a bit, always have. I felt this comment was unnecessarily confrontational and completely unprofessional. I have no problems with the products and service. I just didn't appreciate the personal comment, is all. read more

This is a no-frills shop, which I personally love. I have a fancy knee scooter (Knee Rover is the brand) that I'm using to get around after a foot surgery. It has both front and rear steering, and dual rear disc brakes. The brakes got out of synchronization and the scooter became, well, pretty dang dangerous to use. I took it to Jonny Rocks and they made all the adjustments needed and I got the scooter back within 24 hours. read more

Jonny is very knowledgeable and upfront about his bike selections. I would do business here if he carried the brands I was looking for.

These guys are great! I had a terrible spill on my e-bike. They helped me out by picking it up at my house, giving it a complete tuneup, took it apart, diagnosed all the problems And fixed it in a couple days for a reasonable price. read more

Best bike shop for guys on a budget who love biking. Quality customer service from Jonathan every time. read more

See all

I was in the market for a road bike and Jonny was honest with me and we determined he did not have anything in stock that would fit my needs. It is refreshing to not be pushed into something that didn't fit my needs only to make a buck. When it is time for me to buy, I'll check this place out first! read more

Great shops! I dealt with both Bloomington and Hopkins stores. They went above and beyond with me on my ebike on both assembly and service after. They also were beyond fair on the price for service. read more

Purchased a used bike from Jonny Rock in August. Bike has been great but a pedal cracked outside the 30 day warranty window. Jonny Rock was still willing to replace the pedal free of charge in under 10 mins. They take care of their customers, highly recommend! read more

I called to see if they had a bike in stock for me to test ride and I happened to get the owner on the line. He didn't have the one I was curious about, but he dug deeper into my needs and went out of his way to do a favor to get the original situation resolved for me. And without getting any extra work from it. I felt Jon had a lot of integrity and a generous spirit. Heartily recommend!! read more

Went in to just check it out. Talked to whom I think is the owner and was impressed. I will definitely be going back.

Had a rear wheel problem. Brought the wheel in for them to look at. They called the next day, asking a few questions. They wanted to make sure that replacing the hub freewheel was the problem. Instead of just replacing it, they wanted to make sure. A very honest business, and people that know what they are doing. Highly recommended ! read more

Awful customer service, owner was so inappropriate. Incorrect time and as well as price estimates given from salesperson. Communication gaps between employees, but by far the most appalling is the attitude and poor service from the owner himself. We will never go back. My boyfriend and I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to inquire about a front break repair my bike needed. The salesman/bike shop worker we spoke with seemed very knowledgeable, had great customer service skills and gave us a time and price estimate of 1 day and up to $30-40 for the brake job. He assured he would call me if they found anything else wrong with my bike and get my approval before fixing. We were thinking of going to a different shop for the repair but since they could get it done right away and price was decent, we decided to just go forward with getting it fixed there. Unfortunately the one day they quoted came and passed and no call from the shop. The second day was almost completely passed and I decided to call. They said they hadn't even started on my bike and "would be first one up in the morning" even though they were still open a bit and could have possibly done it that evening of the second day, they didn't. This was the first sign that things just weren't right. The next day which was the 3rd day, I called mid-day, the guy on the phone said they had not even started on it. I told him I was given a 1 day estimate and asked what was going on. He informed they were wrong to give me a one day estimate and said I would be up next, no apologies. A few hours later he called to tell me my bike was finally done. We were leaving town for a bike ride that weekend so I was glad they finally finished it just in time for our trip but it was too close to leaving for comfort and I wished they would've been more accurate in their estimate upfront or anywhere throughout the contact I had with them. Unfortunately the time estimate wasn't the only thing they did the bait and switch with. The guy told me my total on the phone and it was almost double what they had quoted me up front, and included work on my bike I did not ask for or authorize. Maybe this isn't a big deal if you trust the people at the shop working on your bike, but this was my first visit and I was clear that I did not want to fix everything or upgrade everything that may be needed, I just wanted the brakes done to function one more season before upgrading bikes. The most frustrating part was that the only reason we dropped my bike at Johnny Rock was that their time and price estimate was what we were looking for. As it turned out, they lied. It was 4 days, and double what they estimated. Had I known what they would truly take for time and charge me, I would have taken my business elsewhere up front. By far, the worst aspect of the entire experience was trying to converse with the owner about the discrepancies. He was a total jerk to me on the phone and to my boyfriend in person who went to pick up the bike. When I tried to explain how their shop's shitty estimates messed with our trip schedule and what we had planned to pay, he had ZERO interest in understanding, listening, empathizing, or validating what happened. He interrupted me before I could even get a chance to complain about the experience and ask for validation. He had an extremely rude demeanor almost right away and when I asked him to please listen he only became a bigger jerk and ran over me with his sentences and exclamations about their work being worth it and the tune up costing what it should. We spoke on the phone a few times and in the last call he hung up. My boyfriend who never typically takes issue with anyone for any reason, felt this shop owner was a real piece of work. He said he will never bring his bike there, he was sorry we brought mine there, that hopkins bike shop will get all our future business, and that he will spread the word to his friends and family who all bike as well. I think it is important to take the time to write the truth about shitty service as well as praise great service. We loved the first salesperson we dealt with in person, too bad the rest of the experience was as bogus as the owner's attitude. He forced us to pay the full price for the overcharge, offered no discount despite what happened and ultimately treated me like crap. Don't bring your bike here if you want honest, great service. read more

Very helpful staff. Nice selection. Went to both locations and they were very willing to bring bikes outside (due to covid) restrictions. Very knowledgeable staff. Would definitely but a bike here again. read more

I had such an awesome experience here. Everyone was incredibly helpful, and actually eager to provide assistance and their knowledge. They fixed my bike seat for free, refused payment/tip, and were great. They have a customer for LIFE now. read more

I had a really positive experience with Jonny Rock Bikes. I was in a cycling accident (user error) and was unsure if my bike could be salvaged. I got my bike back exactly 1 week later and am really pleased with the way I was treated. Shop staff are super personable and nonjudgmental - volunteered to unload and then reload my bike from my car. I also think their pricing is very competitive. When I dropped my bike off, I was given a quote which turned out to be more or less accurate. I would have been an easy upsell for a couple of items I pointed out when I dropped my bike off, but was reassured that they still had life in them and didn't need to be replaced until later on. I was impressed with that. All in all - I will return for tuneups and parts as needed and will definitely recommend to others. read more

I just wanted to say I really like this bike shop! The staff is super friendly, the prices are reasonable, and my experience overall was just awesome from start to finish. read more

My child is learning to ride his first bike and I have attached the training wheels to help him learn to balance. I have adjusted them to be slightly off the ground so he can get used to the feeling of balancing. My issue: The wheels simply won't stay in place for longer than a single ride. I notice that as my daughter rides and the wheels take his weight they slide up and then he risks falling on that side. I decided to visit the Jonny Rock Bikes today and they help me and they're honest, i would highly recommend it. read more

Listen. I don't know anything about bikes. But because of an impending move and loss of a car, I needed to purchase a bike as my main form of transportation. I went to Jonny Rock Bikes because it was literally two blocks from work. I'd been to three other bike shops and was less than impressed. I went in, stated that I knew nothing of bikes, and said I had limited funds. Dag. I was treated with such respect and was given such good information. I was treated so wonderfully and I purchased a bike perfect for my needs BECAUSE of my experience at this shop. Coupled with all the extras in service, maintenance, and customization this is one helluva shop. I will totally be back and can't recommend it enough. Thank you Jon. Bravo. read more

Jonny is fun, quirky yet experienced in business. Support small business owners. He will order you things and put a bike together for you.

Had a very positive experience here. The guys running the shop were very friendly in helping my girlfriend and I get our used bikes (from Craigslist) tuned up and ready to use, which they did for a decent price without doing a bunch of unnecessary upgrades. They also had a good selection of accessories at reasonable prices as well. Definitely recommended. read more

Really gave my son the run around... Terrible service ...wouldn't reccommend .... To bad as it would be nice to support a local hopkins business. read more

Great shop in Hopkins! Found it when I had bike problems on a ride, fixed bike up on the spot! Went back to get a new crank set, John was great didn't try and BS me, good advice and options. Called me few hours later, bike done! Great service. Going to make this my regular shop. read more

Wow, amazing experience here!! Definitely check this place out before going anywhere else. My fiancé and I went in for two new bikes and were helped for at least an hour deciding between a couple different options. All the staff there were so helpful and friendly. read more

The proprietor allowed me to fill my tires and pointed out how I wasn't doing it correctly which was nice - however he blew his chance at building rapport by inquiring about how much I paid for my bike, where I got it, and indirectly stated that I could've gotten the same quality item at a lower price from him. Later, via email, he declined to work with me on price for a pump which retails online for $45 (he sells them for $60 in his shop), and gave a sob story about how amazon kills price margins for small business (which incidentally may be true, but not the point). Why they won't get my business: Insulting and intrusive questions; obvious preoccupation with YOUR needs over the customer's. read more

Great little bike shop that has everything you could possibly need. Owner is very nice and the prices are great! And you can't beat the turnaround time! Thanks Johnny Rock Bikes! read more

On my first biking outing of the season, I started out on the nearby trail, only to realize rear brakes not working. I was near the shop, so went in. They quickly assessed the problem, gave me a price to fix it, and I was on my way in less than 15 minutes. Really nice, very reasonable service. My friends bought a bike there for a grandchild, and felt JR really went out of their way to provide a good, inexpensive bike. I was very grateful for the quick repair work. read more

We often bike along the nearby trail, and we had stopped a few times to buy small accesories. It was fine. But recently my wife had a flat and she stopped by to have it fixed. They refused to patch, insisting on selling anew tube: this is par fore the course. But the bad part is that they insisted in selling her a whole new tire, even though the one she had on that wheel was in perfect condition. They insited 'it had holes in it'. Smelling a rat she insisted in taking the old tire home, where she and I double checked that it was indeed in perfect condition. read more

Great bike shop. My tire went flat one Sunday morning and even though they were not yet open, one of the guys came out and fixed my bike and I was on my way. Good service, honest and very reasonable. read more

Avoid at all cost, do not shop here. I wanted to trade some bike parts and tires for a chainring and some bolts. Maybe a single speed crankset. Not only was the owner rude. He told me he didn't buy low end junk like the stuff that I had. The stuff that came off a $499 diamond back. When I then asked him if he had a 36 tooth chinring, he pulled out a box off dirty and rusty rings. I then told him that they would not be my go to lbs, and they had the worst customer service I have ever encountered. He then said I don't buy sh@t like the stuff you brought. Mind you I was looking to trade, which they told me they do but I found out only on high end parts. Mind you they sell low end bikes that they take on donation, fix them and then charge way to much for. Don't shop here read more

We had a great experience here! We went in "just to look" and left with a newly refurbished bike at a great price! Very knowledgable, friendly, and professional. read more

I wanted a steel road bike for commuting downtown. I ended up picking up a new build of a Handsom Devil from Jonny Rock Bikes and I absolutely LOVE it. They did a great job on the build - drop bars, cyclocross tires, comfortable gearing, etc. I've had it in for a tuneup once which they did a great job on too. There are a lot of great local bike shops in the Cities and this is one of them. read more

I recently had my Trek Madone/Ultegra road bike serviced and tuned at Jonny Rocks Bikes. This was my first time there and this was without a doubt the best tune I ever got. The bike is about five years old and I have previously tried all the other big name local bike shops but Jonny Rocks has by far been the best. Plus, they complete the work quickly so you don't have to give up your bike for a week waiting for the work to be done. Overall an outstanding experience. read more

The service provided was exceptional. We came in from out of town and needed ER service. John was terrific.
