Ive been working on my own bikes for maybe 15 years; Ive built bikes, repaired/overhauled bike for myself and my friends. But I was kind of busy so I took a bike in here to get some work done. And the difference between the work they did and the work Ive done is just like night and day. I didnt realize my bike could run so well...I highly recommend this place.
I have an old Dawes road bike that I inherited from my son. Danny did a complete tuneup. I was blown away after the first ride. For the first time in years I could engage every gear (21) flawlessly, stop in 1/3 the distance with 1/3 the braking pressure. And, the wheels spin straight and true. I dont know exactly what Danny did, but I now have a brand new Dawes! Thank you Danny!! See you next year.
Came in for drive train issue I been having for a while. Initially expected to upgrade my crankset and also needed a front rim machined for a front brake. Daniel the mechanic explained to me my front rim is ready for a front brake and it wouldnt be necessary, he explained that my rim is anodized and is made to accept a front brake. I also asked if I needed to buy a new crankset, he explained the issues were chain related and saved me lots of money. A new chain, and a brake installation in 30 min! Daniel wont let you just throw money at him. Profound integrity and tells you what you need and didnt take advantage of my desperation to get back on the road unhindered.
Big ups to the guys at DS. Absolutely wonderful service every time I go. Solutions oriented and very kind. Support your local bike shop! Thank you for your amazing service.
I was cycling from DC to PDX and needed some quick repairs and component swap outs over the weekend.Danny put me at the top of the queue and kept me posted on progress.He was super friendly, was super competent and super affordable.Just wish he wain my neighborhood back home!
Walked in, fixed and tuned up my vintage bike like it was brand new! Had it up and running in only about 3-4 days and the prices were very honest and fair. Would recommend!
Went into the shop for some caps for my tires and Danny really went above and beyond to help me fix my bike! The nicest guy, cannot recommend him enough :)
I called last minute to get an adjustment for a derailer and brakes. In and out in 20 minutes. Quality of work, top notch!
Quick and honest help. Instead of selling me tires and rims like other bike shops, I was offered a repair on my bent wheels. I highly recommend DS Bicycles!
We had a great experience with DS Bicycles. They replaced both tires on my daughters bike, and did it within 30 minutes. Great service from the owner, quality work and very fair prices. Check them out!
Finished my bike in no time for me to doordash. God bless this man. Quick easy nice and fast. & Not that expensive!
The owner did a great job upgrading my Strawberry Shortcake, my rare Bianchi which is as rare & unique as the shop we bought it at D. S. BIKES..... great friendly service, great prices& always has time for his customers. My dude keeps coming back, wont go to any other bike shop in the city. We definitely are lifetime customers.
I can do most bike maintenance myself but I cant fix a broken spoke, Danny was able to fix it in a half an hour. Four other bike shops were going to take two to four days.
Bring cash - they have great prices and selection and they are nice and friendly. (They dont take debit cards maybe they will in the future) my bicycle tire popped while delivering for uber & they helped fix my tire 2 hours after it happened. Better then waiting 5 weeks for tire tubes the same price from ebay. Thanks DS.
Great customer service. Reliability on any service repairs Ive ever needed. Consistently open, even on days like Thanksgiving! They also carry my favorite brand of bikes State bike co. I highly recommend this place.
Great shop, excellent customer service. Very accommodating especially for a first time buyer.
I left my front bicycle wheel behind in the park while putting my bike in the trunk of my truck. It was an old, cheap bike, so I decided to buy a new one. However, I found DS Bicycles while looking for the closest bike shop. They had a great selection of reasonably-priced bike parts. I walked in and walked out with a new, shiny, cool looking wheel and tire ready to use. Thank you! Highly recommended!
The guy who owns is a great mechanic. I highly recommend you take your bike there to get fixed.
Had a tune-up here and our bikes have never run smoother! Danny even fixed my bent basket! AMAZING AWESOME WE WILL BE BACK, THANK YOU!!!
I randomly found DS bikes when looking for a place in the area to repair an old Schwinn that had been languishing in a friends basement for years. These folks (Thanks Danny!) managed to bring it back to life- not only are they experts in repairing old bikes (at really reasonable prices too), but theyre clearly incredibly passionate about what theyre doing and customer service as well. Really friendly, patient in describing what needs to be done to someone who knows nothing about bikes, and wanting to make sure customers are happy with the repairs. I absolutely recommend them and will be back (though may not need to for a while as the Schwinn has a new life ;) Thank you!
It’s was good service but when i asked to replace a fork the crown race was missing and the headset was rubbing against the fork. very disappointed that a bike shop can’t do simple things
Great spot in the neighborhood for all bike replacements and new tires. Prices are reasonable so thats always great and cash only
Great prices here the owner is so outgoing and cool great customer service i will be returning here again for sure!
I also shared a great experience with the owner at this location. I brought my bike in and needed a simple fix and was expecting to be charged the norm $50-$75... Instead he fixed it right in front of me, even added air in the tires and wanted to charge me nothing. I gave him $20 as a tip.To have someone who is not out to rip you off but to actually help is rare. He has 5 stars for a reason.I am going to be bringing in 2 bikes for tune ups. I trust this place 100%.
My bike runs better every time I take it in. The price is always fair. I wouldnt go anywhere else.
An excellent repair shop and has chess in the waiting room.
Owner is incredibly friendly and service was great. Took daughter’s bike there for a quick chain repair. I had called ahead and he quickly fixed the issue when we arrived.We will definitely be coming back for all our future bike needs!
Great bike experts. Snobbery? Not here. My new go to bike shop.
The worst Tune-up ever
Great Place! Shop of the people.. Highly recommend. Usually talk to Danny, and he is a great dude. Fair prices, don’t take your bike anywhere else. Danny and Steve are the guys you want working on your bike.
After spending a lot of money trying to have my bike tuned up at another bike shop in the neighborhood and had experienced a very poor customer service besides not having my bike fixed at all, even after going back there just to hear them saying that I had to buy another wheel, I decided to buy a brand new bike but, before doing this extreme move, fortunately I found this shop and told the owner Danny what was the problem with my bike and he took my bike for a quick inspection. After a few adjustments (he asked me to ride it after the adjustments to make sure it was OK) he fixed it and my bike now runs like new. He not only did a great job but didnt want to charge me anything what I, of course couldnt accept, after all he worked and got his hands dirty and did the work that the guys on the other bike shop should have done. While I was waiting inside the shop Dani was working on my bike and testing the wheel to make sure it was completely aligned, he did change the axle what should have be done when I spent all the money on the other bike shop. He also had to tighten a few screws that were not done by the other bike shop. My intent with this review is not to focus on the poor service received from the other bike shop (even though I mentioned them a few times) but to alert the community that we have this very professional and honest guy working by himself and offering a great and reliable service to the community.
Great customer service danny is very nice and professional
Danny is incredibly knowledgeable about all types of cycles. If there is anything needed thats not in the store, hell order it. Great customer service! Bought two city bikes here and incredibly satisfied with the service. Ive been coming back for regular maintenance, oil, air, etc. Danny and DS bicycles is your one stop shop for all your bicycle needs.
They were open when no one else was. They were friendly and knowledgeable and gave amazing service. DS Bicycles is an amazing addition to this community! Thank you!
This place is the best Great prices Very nice workers I always take my sons bike here they always do a great job
“Closes at 6pm” Went there at 4pm today, in hopes of getting inner tubes to fix my flat but was let down when it was closed.. even tried calling
Great place and great guy!Called him about my front rim being bent and needing replacing, and I arrived and he fixed it within 20 minutes! Recommend and I will back!
Best prices for anything around Chicago. Super friendly owners and I can’t stress enough how good the prices are in here. 10/10 will shop here again
Danny at DS Bicycles was very helpful and friendly with getting my bike ready for the warmer weather. I love that they take cash or quick pay. I’ll definitely be back!
Great, fast service. They fixed my flat while I waited and educated me on what the problem was while they did the work. Super nice guys.
What a guy, Great service at a great price! Bring your bike to this guy! Forget the other shops!!
By far my number one bike shop in Chicago! I wouldn’t let anyone else touch my bike besides Danny!Best prices out of anywhere and he can get you ANY bike or part your looking for.10 thumbs up!
The homies at DS Bikes are good people doin a genuine service for the community. You wont find a better price for the service anywhere in the city. They seem to go out of their way to get people back and riding while also being outwardly compassionate to the plight of the working class. 10/10
Danny worked within our budget and offered exceptional service. Never felt my bike ride this well. Highly recommend this shop!
This is the best place in the area for all repairs and everything bike related. Dannys very nice nd really cares about the work he does with each bike, and will never scam you
These guys were so great and accommodating and they didn’t have to be!! I came in to buy a light but didn’t have a enough cash. FYI, cash only!! I didn’t have time to go get cash and was about to leave but then they looked around and just gave me a light I could use for the day. That was so kind! They didn’t have to do that! I was glad to have a bike shop in my hood. I’m even more glad they’re such sweet guys. I look forward to dropping in and saying hello again :)
DS Bicycles is a shop that will never let you down and theyll do everything to repair your bike. Dan and Steve will get the job done no matter what!!!! There really cool people. You should stop by and check out there amazing store. I have so many things to say about the shop but its gonna take a long time to explain everything. Other than that, LOVE DIS SHOP!!
They are very friendly and the prices are pretty good I will recommend this shop very good respectful people.
This place is amazing! We just moved to the neighborhood and my bike got a little messed up in the move. We brought it over and Danny immediately went to work. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the bike. He even filled up the tires for me. I will definitely be back. Thanks Danny!
Great service great prices.
These guys are the best! They offer great customer service and great prices. It’s a small shop but it’s definitely a gem.
Great little shop! Emphasis on fixes and repairs I’d current bikes. Very trust worthy guy not needing to upsell you to an expensive bike you may not necessarily need. Crisp and modern payment methods and helpful customer service.
I found DS Bicycles after I had an awful experience at Kozys and Im so glad I did. Gold standard of service. All the stars!
So helpful. Both people working there helped me right away for an $11 purchase. That never happens. At bike shops, people are uncommonly surly. Not this place. They didnt know me at all and treated me like I was their most important customer. I will definitely be back.
This review will be rather blunt. This place will make you never want to go to another shop anywhere. Most shops are in it for the money and this shop is one of VERY FEW in it for the passion. These guys are the real deal!!!! UPDATE: 6 months later, 2 bikes later, and I still say that DS BIKES is the ONLY place to go. Thanks again to Danny AKA the GOAT!!!!!
I LOVE this shop. The guys are knowledgeable and patient. I asked a lot of questions and tried a lot of bikes. The prices are reasonable, especially when you factor in that theyll set up a bike however youd like, included in the price. For me they changed the bars and grips before I even agreed to buy it, so that I could try it out exactly how Id like it to be set up. Of course once they made the changes it was perfect and I bought it immediately. Im so excited for my new bike and a dependable bike shop!
By far the best bike shop in Chicago. Good old school bike shop vibes, and friendly/welcoming to customers. Best prices, stands behind his work, and knows what hes doing. I never bother going anywhere else.
Danny (shop owner) was very helpful and did a great job on my bike. Reasonably priced, and he accepts Chase quick pay/Zelle, so that was really convenient for me. Would definitely take my bike back to his shop again.
I had an absolutely flawless experience with DS Bicycles. I took my bike in for a tune-up, and was given an estimate on how long it would take. The actual work was completed exactly according to the estimate. The pricing was completely fair, the staff was friendly, and my bike rides great. Ill absolutely go again.
Great customer service 👍👌💪
Great service! Great price! Quick and friendly!
Best Shop I Know. Its a must go if you wanna get ur bike fixed. No cap S/o to dani
Daniel Knows his stuff, he’s friendly and helpful, and his added great value to my bike!
I love this place! I really do. Both owners are so kind and helpful and they are fun to talk to while you wait. This is local for me so definitely going back whenever I need something!
The best bike shop you can go to💯 They help you fix your problem and give you good deals on what ever it is you need‼️ Honestly the best bike shop you could go to. Someone needs to spend a couple mil and help these guys get a bigger facility💯 Love going here even if there is no problem with my bike just positive vibes and motivation all through the shop.
THE BEST BIKE SHOP EVER! They will help you with your bike if its broken. Really nice people. Love you Stevie!!!-justin. Prices are the best and negotiable. CHECK THEM OUT
Amazing service and prices, don’t even shop around, go straight here. The owner has a great mind set, he is here to help people like you and me, not for profits.
Purchased a bike for my son today...these guys are very knowledgeable and cool as hell. The price points are steeper than I would like (personally) BUT I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for and as a business owner I respect price points. Hell Im going back in 2 weeks to purchase a bike for myself. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone on the market for a new bicycle.
Danny saved the day for me. Came in with a flat tire and he had me back on the road in 10 minutes. Great service, thanks!
They have the best service and the best prices. No other bike shop will beat them. The workers are very nice and can help u what type of bike or part that fits you.
Very cool staff. Had a group of young riders just hanging out which was nice to see. Went there to meet for a transaction with another rider and ended up needing a wrench to remove the back wheel off my bike and the staff was really helpful.
Super nice, super friendly!
By far the best place to fix your bike, cheap pricing. Good service you cant go wrong.
Very good bike shop.
The owner was very nice was a very big help when I was a little short on cash. He was nice to talk to and was very relatable. They also have quality brands such as zipp components and carry well known brand such as state bike and affinity. They are complete in all parts for fixed gears and single speeds as well as other bikes
Just heard about this place through the local bike grapevine. I broke a spoke today, which made the back wheel start rubbing. I really wanted to ride to work the rest of the week, and Dan made it happen. Super cheap, super fast, super friendly. Boom: now I got a Bike Guy.Update: just came back here to look for a used bike for my 11-year-old son. Again, friendly and knowledgeable service, and I walked out (and my son rode out) with a Trek bike in great condition for about a third of what it would have cost new.
Best bike shop in chicago. Awesome prices, quick service, and better than bike lane.
Stopped in randomly for some lights. Good flow
Best service and best prices
Great Service. Fast and affordable
My new go to bike guys. They actually get it when it comes to classic road bikes. Many have no clue.
Nice small and old-school place, very professional and reliable people, will go there again and again)
Saved me when I popped an inter tube on a ride
I came from Evanston because of how hard it is to find a good honest bike shop. I read many reviews everywhere, gone to different bike shops. Many rude or closed when I needed them. I found this place and gave it a try. Steven is very nice and knows his stuff. I will come here for any bike needs in the future.
Best bike shop around the area, they helped me build my blb low pro in less then 2 hours. great guys-curve
I found a bike shop that I felt like I am a customer, unlike some other shops down in milwaukee treated me like; I have no money to spend. This is the real bike shop!
Quick and good work.
Im Eddie.This bike shop is a really good bike shop.Really good service and really helpful.I would recommend this bike shop for anyone
Broken spoke replaced and gears adjusted on a Sunday only $25.Getting my bike back in 30 minutes, priceless!Thank you DS Bicycles
Nice guy, helpful, good work
Hands down best bike shop. First time I came they really hooked me up. You can tell they really care and try their best.
Big shout out to steve from DS. Really well informed, knows what he’s doing and great conversation. Support your local businesses!!
Not the fastest, but great hours and they do great work.
Great guy with great stuff.
Good bike shop, friendly staff, would recommend to stop by and get your bikes fixed! GOOD PRICES AS WELL!
