Bicycle Shops in Philadelphia, PA

“My rear brake was rubbing so I brought the bike to get it looked at. Turns out the brake had cracked. Thankfully, they had a replacement part already in stock, and repaired my bike the same day so I could make it to my group ride. Amazing service.”

“Called from Wisconsin about an Arkel handlebar bag they had on their website. Person I spoke with hunted it down in storage and said it was a little dusty from sitting but otherwise in excellent condition. He unilaterally dropped the price significantly and agreed to ship it to me. Exactly as described, super nice guy, great deal. Thanks. Hitting the road in April - it will be much appreciated on tour.”

“I just picked up riding recently. Went to a few different bike shops but the Trek store in Manyunk has been the best. Tom took care of my first maintenance experience and was tremendous. This is my go to store now because of the way the staff has repeatedly been so helpful. I've been here a few times and always look forward to going now.”

“Purchased March 2023 - 2022 Giant Revolt Advanced Pro 1 – Blacko Purchased this gravel bike as a replacement for my 20 year old carbon road bike to provide the greatest flexibility for my area (Delco) and interest (road/gravel/mtb). It gets more road use for sure, but have taken it on single track and unpaved roads in my area. There was a persistent creak coming from the bottom bracket that started ~50 miles or so. After a few trips to the shop where they reinstalled with no success, they reached out to Giant, a new bottom bracket was shipped and installed for free and the issue has been silent for 1500+ miles at this point. Credit to them listening to me (and my complaining) and never hesitating to try and figure it out. I spoke directly with 2-3 techs, and they all took me on test rides to isolate the sound. Some of the lighter (weight) techs (I weigh 200lbs+) could not recreate the noise, but they still listened and worked to provide a solution. I waited this long on the review to make sure it was fixed, and hoping to not jinx it…”

“This review is for my wonderful SE Draft. SE is one of Advanced Sports' brands. My SE Draft is a great bike and I love it! I have the blue/red version in the almost-a-kid's-bike size. I named her Sadie. The draft is a single speed and while it's taken some time to get used to, now I wouldn't want to be without it. I feel so cute and stylish on this bike (okay and safe too); now I just need a matching helmet. Seriously: this a great bike for getting around town, running errands, etc. My only complaint is the grips that make my hands sweat but that's an easy fix (on the bike, not my hands).”

“This is the best bike shop in Philly. I’ve been going here for 15 years and service always exceeds expectations. Great shop for cycling novices and veterans alike. Their bike mechanics explain all things bikes in layman’s terms and won’t talk down to you like some shops can do. I’ve obtained some very obscure bike parts from Firehouse Bicycles over the years. You name it, they’ve got it. Bike mechanics are knowledgeable about inventory and will be honest when something is out of stock. If you go here for repairs, you can expect prices to be reasonable and services to be quick.”

“Great shop, great shop owner, and great employees. Knowledgeable, friendly, and very fair.Support this local bike shop. They are 10 Stars out of 5!!!Thanks for keeping me rolling ( :”

“Steve is the man. All around great dude, and underrated BMX rider. Super hospitable, humble and will definitely help you get your bike dialed in. Shops like this are a dying breed, so I try to order through Berks St. whenever I can, even though I live in Louisiana. He’s gone out of his way to help me out when I was visiting Philly. Can’t say enough good things. Support this shop at all costs.”

“Mike the owner, is very knowledgeable, friendly and does great work. I've been there several times and I am very happy, could not have had a better experience. Highly recommended. My T line continues to work great. Thanks Mike, my Brompton and I are happy we met you.”

“Purchased March 2020 - 2020 Santa Cruz Tallboy – Lg Rocksteady Yellow Co Purchased as COVID was not quite in full force in March 2020, Brady delivered the bike to me at home, wearing a mask. The price was fair, the buying experience was great. Additionally, every year they provide a tune-up, creating minimal costs so far (tire sealant, etc.). Service is scheduled on-line, they communicate via text message and all managers/owners, sales people and techs at both locations have been great to deal with related to this purchase. The bike itself is more than I know how to use, but it has been perfect for the rocks/roots/short ups/downs very common around Philly (commonly ride Wiss, Belmont, Smedley, Brandywine) and generally without issue for 4 years.o Don’t be intimidated by the high-end bikes they sell. I purchased 2 kids bikes connected to Little Bella’s (an amazing charity that teaches girls mtb skills and broader life lessons across the US). The charity is supported by the shop, and in general they are a positive for the local community. Brady/Dave and everyone there will meet you at your budget/interest, help you through the process and are interested in being a resource for the long hall.”

“Been going to Bustleton for years now. I’ve purchased 2 bikes and have had several repairs and maintenance done. Every experience has been a positive one and I have nothing but gratitude and thanks to give. They have helped me quite a bit along my journey to becoming a serious cyclist and I’m truly grateful. My latest purchase is a sweet Marlin 7 with a few customizations and I am more than pleased with not just the purchase, but the whole process. The owner, Mike, has really helped me with getting the right bike for my needs, and as a result, this new purchase has significantly improved my performance on the trails. If you’re looking for a down to earth bike shop who has your back, I highly recommend you check out these guys. 10/10”

“they had the exact part that I needed and they were open on a Sunday. the associate checking me out even gave me some tips on how to troubleshoot the overall problem”

“I purchased my cargo bike from here a few years ago and the service was amazing then. My most recent experience with Firth and Wilson left me wanting to leave a review. This week I took my cargo bike in here to get the rear tire fixed. Not only was the price very reasonable the service was amazing. They fixed my tire, tightened my loose headlight and fixed my frayed brake wire. My bike came out feeling brand new and I only took it in to have a tire fixed. I will only use this place to purchase and repair my bikes from this point on knowing they are in excellent hands.”

“Came in after my back wheel got stolen and not really knowing anything about bikes, super stressed and just wanting to have a painless process. They hooked me up so well, came in and he was like “I got you” and just started going to work. Dude’s got a good sense of old school humor which was really refreshing and just made me feel at ease. Definitely will be coming back”

“Velojawn is great and was closer, but they hadn’t opened yet. Mike was just opening up at Dr. Cycles and changed my tube in less than 5 minutes for $15. I asked if he could sell me an extra tube, but he said he didn’t have spares. Really, I couldn’t ask for better. I’ve been charged nearly 3x this in other shops.”

“As a major shop in this area, any avid rider will quickly become familiar with Keswick. They've assisted with many repairs. And I appreciate that! To be better however, I'd like to see lower priced bikes, lower cost accessories and a diversified staff.”

“I just got my bike fixed from them, I dropped my e-bike off about a month ago and just got it back today, it took a little while because it was tons wrong with my e-bike. By the way I brought this bike to about three other shops before bells (I didn't know bells worked on e-bikes at the time) and all three shops turned me away because I didn't buy my bike from them, because it wasn't a Chinese knockoff e-bikes. Speaking of the same person owns all three of the local e-bike shops, so they charge anything they want and customers are basically stuck (10th and south, broad and Wharton, and right off of Washington and passyunk). If one of those stores gives you a price they will all collaborate to give you the same price bells is the only store that can actually compete with them. Anyway the work they did on my bike was Major I gave it to them with no pedals, my back tire had almost no spokes and the rim was bent. They had to order all the parts and build everything on the bike,, they give me a very reasonable price and the work they did was perfect. Oh by the way if you don't already have an e-bike and you don't have thousands to spend on a new one they have used ebikes for sale, if I didn't have my e-bike I would have gotten it from them because the ebikes they have in their store are amazing. I'm telling you you won't even know which one to buy because they have so many really nice ones and I don't know a single other store that does that. Sorry for the TLDR would definitely recommend them. Will update on future visits.”
