This is a great full-service bike store and shop. Selling both new and used bikes; you can also trade in your bike as well. Additionally offering tune-up's, repairs, and the team does custom bike and wheel builds as well. I was in desperate need of a bike that could handle more city miles and riding after struggling commuting around the city on a mountain bike. I initially called the shop to see if they had any bikes in-store within my price point that fit my height/weight and within an hour of riding up there I was leaving the store with a new bike. I was able to trade-in my mountain bike and apply the funds toward discounting the nice new hybrid Batch bike I purchased. Purchasing a new bike here also includes a 1year free tune up as well. Great experience and find myself often recommending others here. Bikes for sale here at all price ranges and different types of riding, as well as selling any accessories/tires/helmet/supplies in store. Also have a website that shows current inventory that they keep pretty up to date! read more

Excellent service!!! From the 1st phone call I placed to going to the store!!

I ended up leaving spending $2 because I bought a rubber stopper for my kick stand i couldn't resist spending something!!! I so appreciate the honesty and helpfulness I received, truly kind good honest people here at this business!! They'll have my business from here on out & my referral!!! read more

Okay, folks. I'm grateful for Yelp right now. I walked in today and Joe was AMAZING. He let us try out bikes in the drizzly, gloomy weather and was super patient with us being bike noobies.

I had no clue how to put my electric bike together and after looking at a few places I was fortunate to find this place. They not only assembled my bike but it was inexpensive and the staff- excellent and helpful. I bought a combination lock for the bike and unfortunately forgot the combination after I was supposed to return for some recommendations by Joe! If you're reading this guys - please help- lol read more

Metropolis is a shop of folks who know and love bikes. That should go without saying, but it's something that is hard to find in the bike world these days. They have taken care of a few of my bikes in the past and I've always been more than satisfied with the prices and service-- ranging from routine tune-ups to repairing brackets, cranks, and handlebars, or just advising on potential solutions to any and all problems bicyclical. They have a small selection of used bikes but carry Fairdale, Bianchi, and some other brands I'm less familiar with. They also carry apparel products (jerseys, clever t-shirts), bags (Arkel, etc.), and, of course, pedals, tools, and a number of kinds of bar tape, etc. The shop also hosts a Monday night ride, which I can never make, but it's a great time with some great people. read more

I was in town for a few days and had some issues shifting. Joe and I scheduled a time to get my bike fixed so I could use it to get around in the meantime. Then I was in and out of the shop in under an hour. These folks are really knowledgeable and have great tips for biking in Detroit. read more

Stopped in to just get a flat fixed. As always, the people at Metropolis exceeded expectations. They also happened to clean and relube my chain and even wiped off all the wax lubricant I had spilled all over my ride. You simply cannot go wrong with a bike shop that has tacos at its grand opening. read more

I recently moved to downtown Detroit and was searching for a city store to buy some cycling shoes. I happened upon Metropolis Cycles in Corktown and was excited to find an attractive, well stocked, nicely displayed store with helpful sales people. They had my size and I found some other items I needed too! Fairly priced and helpful staff! Highly recommended! read more

Happened to stumble cross this new shop and inside was Joe! We were greeted by Joe fairly quickly upon walking in, and let him know we were just looking around, until we fell in love with the Bianchi bikes they carry! Joe was super knowledgeable and helpful - and let me sit on a few and try them out. I ended up picking out a strada and Joe was able to swap some bigger tires on it with no extra charge. He gave me an awesome tutorial on the gears and how to switch between them, and also gave us some accessories at a discount. A couple months later, my girlfriend was looking to buy me a saddle for my birthday, as she remembered me gawking at the Brooks saddles in the display case while we were there buying the bike. She said when she walked in Joe walked right up to say hi to her and ask how the bike was! So awesome that he remembered us from our one and only time there. Since buying the bike here, I've told several friends looking to buy new bikes to check Metropolis out and to talk to Joe. Customer service goes a long way in a bike shop, especially for people who aren't too knowledgeable and are just starting out. Because of Joe - we will come to Metropolis for all our biking needs, and will continue to tell our friends and family to go there too! Thanks Joe! read more

I moved to Detroit a few months ago and wandered into Metropolis looking for a group ride. Joe and Ted were helpful and generous with their time. They told me about their Monday night ride -- kudos for running through Winter -- and I showed up for quite a few. Just this week, I brought my bike in for maintenance for the first time. Ted (correctly) estimated when it would be ready when I dropped it off, addressed the entirety of my rather long maintenance list and charged a reasonable fee. These guys run a good shop. They're clearly part of the local cycling community and they clearly love bikes. They bothered to learn my name. Their events are well-attended by friendly bike nerds and it was evident that they took care in fixing up my bicycle -- not least because it came back to me considerably cleaner than it was delivered. Recommended without reservation if you need something fixed or if you're looking to connect with the local cycling community. read more

The guys are the real deal. Brought my bike in for a tube replace. They fixed it within 15 mins and tuned my friend's bike up real nice. Their repair prices are fantastic! read more

I have been to this shop 4-5 times. I honestly thought I was working with trustworthy people. I first noticed something was wrong when I was quoted a price for a repair and when I picked up my bike it changed. I thought what's $15. This happened another time, I was given a price and it changed when I picked up my bike. There are hidden fees that the staff does not inform you of. One of the workers also made a smart remark to a concern I had, basically making fun of it. I was planning to buy a new bike from the shop, I will take my future business to another shop after this experience. They may have gained profit in hidden fees, but lost a sale in a bike. If you plan to use this shop please pay attention to price changes. Ask "What are ALL prices with changing parts". Do not pay for something you did not agree to. read more
