I like the selection, the service, and the guys there. Lucas and Max (and the rest) are always knowledgeable and helpful. It is great having this shop in the neighborhood. We have purchased multiple bikes and used this place for service on all of them. Glad they're in the neighborhood. read more

I purchased a Velotric Breeze from main Line Cycles. Lucas and Max were responsive and answered all my questions. Lucas was knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the electronics to me during pick up.The advertised online price was honored in the store and I even picked up a couple accessories while I was there. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking to buy an E bike read more

Main Line Cycles - Ready for my first ride. - Bikes Near Me - Narberth, Pennsylvania

The person who helped me went above and beyond to help me fix my bike. I had a good amount of questions, in response to, he gave knowledgeable advice and explained how to care for my bike. As someone who is just getting into riding bikes, I didn't feel overwhelmed and incredibly welcomed. Great place to go for service if you want a new or a used bike. If I upgrade from my bike, I definitely plan to return to buy a bike. read more

This store has the most disrespectful and dismissive staff. They make no attempt at customer service and are incredibly lazy staff. I attempted to buy a helmet for my daughter. They were too lazy too unpack a few boxes and find the appropriate fit. The staff member started calling my daughter's head asian and saying he was unable to help because they didn't carry helmets for asian shaped heads. Seriously have issues with this place and their selection is a corporate joke. read more

Brought my bike in today since my front disc brake was making noise. The brake pads were replaced while I waited. Technician was very thorough to the point he took the bike outside to " break in " the pads. He made time to do this today since I explained I had a group ride on the weekend. Very appreciative of the service and willingness to accommodate me. I will be going back . read more

Do NOT bike to be serviced here, They will rip you off! Ever since Vinnie left, I noticed the service wasn't good and my bills were going up. Things came to a head this past summer when they tried to charge me over $400 for a relatively minor repair on a bike that was less than a year old. I asked for a detailed estimate and sent if to a friend who is s former professional cyclist and works in the industry. He told me that even if it needed the work they said it did, which he found very unlikely, they were charging far too many hours for the repairs. Long story short, I took it to another shop and got everything fixed for $80. That was 6 months ago and the bike still works like new. read more

I don't go to bike shops often, but when I do I really appreciate when the people working there are clearly into bikes and are helpful and friendly. That's exactly what you'll find here. A nice, helpful local bike shop!! read more

Main Line's staff and service have been excellent for me - quick service, and clear communication. They've helped me with bike builds, complex mechanical issues and even warranty problems. I've taken bikes to their service manager, Vinny, for many years but all the staff there appear to do excellent work (they just did an amazing job of putting new logos on a set of wheels for me!). I'm also excited about the addition of Main Line to the Philadelphia Bikesmith family. The team there have always been really service-oriented and extremely knowledgeable: this feels like a good match! read more

I can't say enough great things about this shop and their bike mechanics, specifically Vinny. I have literally taken my bike to every shop in the Philadelphia area and Vinny is by far the best mechanic that has worked on my bike. He pays attention to every detail and checks every aspect of the bike. I once brought in a bike that had been hit by a car and had years of neglect and Vinny fixed it up so well that my friend raced a half Ironman on it. My current bike is a specialized Amira that gets abused, be it on the trainer or on the road. Vinny has brought it back to life more times than I can even remember. He always upgrades components when needed - I needed a new cassette and he was honest about getting a cassette that was the best fit for my bike - but also the best value. Last weekend I crashed on that bike and within one day he had it ready to go, for an upcoming race. He is also amazing at sales - he taught me more about helmets today than I ever thought I needed to know, and guided me on the best products for racing. He went over the carbon frame with me and inspected it thoroughly - this is a mechanic that cares about the bike and the rider. He has experience working with mountain bikes, commuters, anything - and I trust him to keep my bikes maintained and I trust him to keep me safe on the road. Also in general Main Line has bikes and gear you can trust that was chosen for a reason, because the items are high quality and competitively priced. This is the kind of place anyone can go into- from newbie to pro and get the same excellent service. I am very thankful I found main line and don't forget to check in on yelp as they have a fun check in deal for Gu energy at the moment! read more

They sell new bikes & accessories here. The place is filled with great bike techs & the vibes are oh so positive. I'm happy to have found mainline cycles for all my future bike needs. Just stop in to have them take a look at your cycle. No matter how busy they may be they never turned me away to not take 5 minutes to answer my questions or concerns. Their prices for tune ups start at about $65 & up which is pretty reasonable for the area. That includes all labor so you only pay for parts if necessary. I came here because I purchased a used bike off Craigslist & wanted to know if I got a good buy. Well to my surprise it wasn't but these guys truly made me feel like I didn't do a horrible job. They were so informative, attentive & honest. They ordered the parts I needed & fixed my cheap department store used bike. I came back 3 weeks later with another bike my partner purchased for me & of course I brought it back here to have them check it out. Well this used bike was a great buy. Nick checked it out , put air in my tires, installed a new kickstand & did a quick inspection. All I paid for was the kickstand; that goes to show you that they truly care about every customers needs. read more

Tom just gave me a free part I've been looking for for 24hrs nonstop. Tremendous service. I'm going to be loyal to them because this is the 4th shop I've tried to go to today and it will be the first and only going forward. read more

Main Line Cycles - Impossible to find! Thanks Tom - Bikes Near Me - Narberth, Pennsylvania

I live in NE Philly and work in Lower Merion. I ride my bike to work everyday. I recently got a flat tire and was unable to put it on the bike rack on the Septa bus because it's an ebike (tires are too big). This shop was the closest to my job so I had to walk it there (2.2 miles). The guys there were very welcoming and was able to fix it for me right then and there. They are very inexpensive and quick. read more

I recently had my electric bicycle serviced and paid for a tune up there. First, they brought the bike out when it was done and paid for with two flat tires. Then, later I discovered the handlebars were loose and when I turned them the wheels did not turn. This is unsafe. I do not recommend this place for any service, it is overpriced and they do not do a good honest job. read more

Absolute nightmare of an experience. I took my bike here to get a general tune-up, and to repair an inoperative front brake (no braking power). It's a long story but I will just stick to the highlights. The work order for my bike was lost along with some parts. It took 6 weeks total to get my bike back. I had to call almost weekly for updates, and had trouble getting details on what actually was going on each time. When I got it back it was in worse condition than when I dropped it off. The front brake was fixed, but the rear had no stopping power. The rear brake lever was damaged and there was brake fluid leaking from the reservoir. There were scratches/scuffs all over the hardware for the brake lines that looked like somebody wasn't careful with their tools, or just didn't care about my bike. The bike had new brake pads on both wheels, which is confusing to me since when I originally brought it in they said the brake pads were fine. Twice when I called they actually asked if I brought the bike in with wheels on, as if they were trying to figure out if the wheels had been lost as well. My roommate and his girlfriend both bought bikes from there. He has had rear brake problems since buying, and he told me this morning her rear shock is broken. Just about the only thing they did right was not charge me for the "service". But the true cost was missing out on riding most of the summer while my bike was in the Main Line shop. The bike is in another shop now getting fixed. read more

I live out of state, but return here when I need cycling assistance. This visit I was converting road shoes to mountain bike shoes for a road bike (2 bikes)...complicated process. The staff was excellent, took my needs seriously and made the switch. They also saved me some cash by suggesting a less expensive pedal for my 2nd, less usd cycle. Really, that suggestion saved me a good bit of $. They are always friendly, care about your miles and smiles! read more

Best bike shop around!!! If you are like me you are always a little nervous when you have to go to the bike shop. Are they going to try to pressure me into something I don't need or up-sell me, or even charge me an arm and a leg for a product I could find cheaper elsewhere? NOT at Main Line Cycles!!! They are always incredibly helpful without being condescending or pushy and their prices are very reasonable. I really can't recommend these guys enough. I wish more shops were like Main Line Cycles. read more

I wanted a bike, but I'm not hipster enough to warrant a fixie, and definitely not planning to race anyone. None of the bike shop employees in the city glanced twice at me, much less helped me out. On Dennis O's recommendation, I went to Main Line Cycle. They carried bikes of all price ranges and styles, and everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable without being pretentious. The one I ultimately ended up with is awesome at a great deal, thanks to Dave. Now I can speed by all the hipsters on my sleek white hybrid road bike!! read more

The staff at Main Cycles is knowledge, professional and helpful. I was going there to have my bike checked out when I litterly fell off at their front door. Everyone came rushing out to help and see if I was OK. I really appreciated that as I was having a hard time getting up. If you are looking for a new bike or service on your's I suggest you go here and meet the staff. Hopefully in a safer way than I did. read more

Great experience with a knowledgeable and non-sales approach. John at Main Line Cycles was genuinely interested in seeing me in the bike that made me comfortable and happy. I was able to try out the bikes in the back parking lot and didn't feel rushed or pressured in any way. He refused to sell me any I didn't need and didn't try to throw the kitchen sink in to everything i might need. He also researched the bike rack for my car and found out it wasn't compatible. He was fantastic. read more

I bought my first road bike from the guys at Main Line, as well as had service performed when I messed up my first road bike, and referred 2 friends here - all top-notch experiences - these guys are really awesome. When I was buying bikes, I shopped all over Philly and tried basically every shop, and found a lot of the same stuff - really unhelpful staff, high prices, or sales people who were just trying to sell me a bike quickly without figuring out what I needed. Oh, and of course, you had the classic arrogant-bike-shop-guy at 90% of these places. Main Line got it all right, with none of the junk or arrogance. They took time to find the perfect bike for me, and it was even on sale (awesome), and I've now been riding it for months and couldn't be happier. So I'd definitely recommend them, 100%. To be more specific, the manager Dave is the guy who helped me, and he was really awesome - he knows his stuff. read more

Super nice staff. The battery on my di-2 bike needed an emergency charge and they happily took care of it even though they were busy. Sign of a great shop! read more

The guys at Main Line made it easy for me purchasing my first road bike. They suggested a smaller size than what was in stock and ordered it free of charge so I could test ride it. They carry Liv bikes for women- great price point (under 1k). read more

Customer service 5/5. I brought my bike in today thinking both tires were flat and realized they were just out of air! The tires had been leaking in storage and all I needed was some pressure. The Main Line Cycles employee laughed it off, halted mid-repair of another bike and put pressure in both tires. We waited 5-10 minutes to make sure no air was escaping and I left. Interactions like these are so appreciated, and too far and few in between. Thank you Main Line Cycles for rekindling my faith in humanity. read more

I was nervous about walking into a bike shop to ask for my pre-purchased bike to be assembled. Not only had I read many reviews of other shops in the Philadelphia area that offered rude service and negative attitude towards the less knowledgeable biker, but most of these negative reviews were also from customers actually looking to buy bikes in those shops- and I was going to be bringing one in. That said, I'm giving Main Line Cycles 5 stars. I'd give them 10 stars if that was possible. They could not have been more polite or professional about assembling my bike and answering my questions honestly. Plus, the labradoodle the shop is just as charming as the gentlemen who helped me out. Thanks Main Line cycles! read more

Great customer service. Purchased last seasons spinning shoes for half the price and love them. Have been back since to get a helmet for my son and they are alway helpful. They have such a wide range of bikes and made me feel that even though I was not a 'bike pro' all me needs no matter how small were important. Would love to get my first real clip in bike there and once I save up this will be the place I shop. read more

These guys are great! Very helpful all quarantine!! And good at keeping customers safe and distanced. We've bought two bikes and needed numerous repairs in the past few months and they've been fantastic, courteous and efficient. Great local business that I'm happy to support! read more

I have lived in the neighborhood my whole life (I'm 54) and never have I had such poor customer sevice!! Ohh sure they're all nice and sweet when they are up-selling you a bike you know isnt right for you, but when you bring it back after one ride ( and want to buy another 2!!) they suddenly become a bunch of Assol*s - and throw it back at you. The bike was BRAND new when I brought in having ridden it once (no different than it's many test rides before I purchased it!! Tried to work it out with the owner but he obviously knows nothing about his "Fanatical customer service" posted on their web site!! I would never buy from them again!! Went up the street to Human Zoom and they sold me what I wanted!! Went back and bought my son a bike!! Now I'm dealing with my Credit Card co to get my money back. Ask about their cust service before you buy!!! read more

Took my bike in to have some work done on the brakes and Justin took care of everything. He managed to fix the brakes rather than simply order new parts which would have cost significantly more. He even finished he work early. These guys stand by their work and want to ensure that you are happy with their service. read more

I recently went with my brother to Main Line Cycle for him to purchase a new bike. The bike sales man greeted us at the door and asked us what type of bike we were looking for. I explained to him my brother needed a bike that he can ride to lose some weight and get into shape. Maybe something that could withstand a 10-15 miles ride. After explaining that to him the first thing he said out his mouth was "Ok that sounds great first I want to mention none of our bikes are Under $700". When he said that me and my brother looked at each other in totally disgust because neither of us said anything about the price we are trying to spend on a bike. I started to breakdown my knowledge for cycling and he seemed to be shocked that I knew more about the bikes he had on his display then he did. We left without purchasing a bike and went to Keswick Cycle Paoli were there customer service was above and beyond better than Main Line Cycle. They helped us choose the right bike for my brother without worrying if we were able to afford the bike based of the Color of our skin. I never wrote a review on any services I received with a business on here but I felt this one needed To be written so this issue won't happen to someone else of Color. BTW we spent $1400 on a new bike not that it really matters. read more

The service team is fantastic! Vinnie is among the best, it not the best, bike mechanic in Philadelphia, and also happens to be a super nice guy. The new ownership team is clearly investing in the place as well, which is wonderful to see. I highly recommend this shop whatever your needs! Support your local bike shop!!! read more

I was recently in the market for cycling shoes. I originally decided to check out REI where most of any options there ranged from $100-$180. This does not even include the cost of the clips or an "installation" charge of $20. Before pulling the trigger I checked out Main Line Cycles and I'm so happy I did! I discussed shoe options with one of the associates who was very helpful and decided to go with a shoe that was on sale for $60 from $150!! The quality was just as good as the shoes I was trying on at REI and the guy installed the clips in a matter of about 5 mins with no crazy "installation" charge. I'm super happy with my purchase here and would definitely come back! read more

I have never written an on-line review but these guys are fantastic. They have a passion for cycling and pleasing their customers. They are a valuable part of the community. Great guys! read more

MLC has been working on my bikes for more than a year now. I have never been disappointed with their work and prompt service. In less than a hour they installed new bar tape and adjusted my brakes. Felt like a new ride this morning. Thanks MLC. You are the best around! read more

The guys at Main Line Cycles gave me so much attention, time, and advice when purchasing a gravel bike. Some shops can treat people snobbish but Lucas, John, and the other mechanics whose name escapes me (he has a dog) - we all so nice, non judgmental, and giving with their time. Can not rate this place high enough for Philly area bike shops. read more

A great bike shop now improved with new ownership. Excellent service, communication and friendly! Special kudos to Max and Vinnie but everyone is good and dedicated to helping the local community with bikes and service read more

I've had mixed experiences here. I am an experienced recreational rider and bike commuter, and I have my favorite shop in the city, but this place is very convenient to where I live. When they offered a free tune-up as part of their grand opening, I took advantage. The service guy told me I needed a new rear wheel IMMEDIATELY and that it was not safe to ride on. He couldn't quote me a price right away, so I gave him my email address and asked him to get back to me ASAP. Then nothing! I called and emailed repeatedly, and he never got back to me. Meanwhile (freaked out), I went to my regular shop, where they told me that the wheel easily had another 6 months of pretty heavy riding left on it. Frustrating! Needless to say, I didn't go back for a while. Recently, I have gone back for little service-related things a few times, and I have generally found the same very helpful customer service that other reviewers have mentioned. No-cost tweaks and helpful hints, quick service when I'm in a hurry, etc. Very friendly! I am still smarting from my initial experience, but if things keep going the way they have been lately, I will have to reconsider and update my review. Decent selection of bikes and accessories; pricey, as befits the local clientele. read more

Not that I would tell you to expect this too, but I stopped in here in a bit of a panic the night before a race because I forgot that my new floor pump wouldn't work with my race wheels. I was prepared to buy a whole new pump but theses guys hooked my up with the "crack pipe" right out of their own work bench (I gave mine own away years ago). Without skipping a beat they just gave it to me. For free! What?! I try to buy all my accessories from them and this will certainly continue. Thanks! read more

I'm thrilled with the merger of Main Line Cycles and Philly Bikesmith. I've been going to MLC for years and now the team has taken service and expertise up a whole level. They've had a quick solution for every problem I've had, stayed open late once waiting for me and spent time teaching me (and my son) about how to take better care of our road bikes. Expectations exceeded...love this team! read more

Even though there is a bicycle shop in my neighborhood that I can walk to, Main Line Cycles is my go to bike shop. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and will take as much time as you need to answer any question. It doesn't matter if you ride triathlons or around the block they make everyone feel comfortable. Highly recommend this shop for service and repairs. read more
