This is a great example of where a small shop outshines major retailers. I moved to East Dundee in 2012 and was amazed from my first stop in this shop. Jeff and every member of his staff that Ive worked with have been amazingly knowledgeable. Twice now Ive had them order less common items, both times they were happy to order the pieces and they came into the shop quickly. From a cost stand point, they are no more expensive than other stores in the area for the quality of product they carry. If you are looking for a big box low quality bike, then yes Dicks Sporting Goods, Walmart, or Target might be a better choice, but if you are looking for a quality bike and a shop to support it down the road I strongly recommend Main Street Bicycles. I havent had to use their repair services yet, but I fully expect that side of the business to hold up the level of quality that the retail side has shown so far.

I only wish there were more stars to give these wonderful people. I stopped in today to rent a bike (not the first time). I was treated like family by the friendly and knowledgeable owner and staff. I have been looking for a new bike but not sure if I am ready to buy one yet, they took the time to show me the bikes I was interested in and even let me take a nice test ride on the one I liked best. At this point I am about ready to buy, and when I do, it will be from Main Street Bicycles. Update, I have now purchased a bike from Main Street. The entire experience was exactly what I thought it would be. I am more than satisfied with the deal and the service. Thank you Jeff and all the staff at Main street Bicycles.

I had not been on a bike in 20 years and the folks at Main Street made sure I had the right bike at the right price! I had a little mishap in getting my bike in and out of my vehicle and the owner Jeff fixed everything at no charge. This upfront service convinced me I had made the right choice in whom I had bought from! After much shopping I found myself back here for for my helmet, clothing and bike rack for my car. You cant beat the service here! Yeah you may pay more for a water bottle here, it is a small business, not Walmart! But no at Walmart will care about your purchase like this place! Some people know the price of everything the the value of nothing!

Ive bought two bikes from this shop, now and have all my repair work done here. The staff is great and its a really low pressure environment. Theyve everything you need and at great prices. No need to wait for shipping from an internet purchase. Get what you need and start riding. Its a great location, too. Right on the Fox River trail, 5 minutes from Raceway woods, and 5 minutes from Andres Bike Park. Finally, I cant possibly say enough about the owner. Hes done so much for the cycling community since opening his shop and has been absolutely pivotal in bring races to local locations and having trails built nearby. Thanks, Jeff!

Just awesome! I went to two bicycle stores before this one and they were heavily overpriced. I had a pedal that was stuck on the bike and they took care of that and put on a new crankset, all for under $60.00. One of the other stores wanted to charge me $60.00 for just the crankset, not even labor included. I dont know the difference between a crankset and puller, but I know a great business when I see one. I watched as this humble business treated everyone with respect, who walked through the door. I will be back and I suggest to anyone with a bike, go to Main Street Bicycles!

Great first experience so far. Brought in two wheels to get fixed up - both of them Azonic Outlaws out of true and one missing a spoke. These are HARD CORE wheels...not easy to work on. Not only did they get them done a day ahead of time and on budget, but they also didnt charge me for the extra spoke nipples they broke in the process of trying to get the worse of the two wheels tensioned correctly and in true. And, can I say, they were in pretty bad shape when I brought them in...they are straight as an arrow now! Great work. Will come back again for sure.

I went in last night to get my bike re-fit because I was having some comfort issues. The owner, Jeff, was very friendly and helpful and answered all of my questions without making me feel like they were ridiculous. He did a very thorough fitting and even gave me some tips for training that would help alleviate further issues that I might have. He didnt pressure me into any purchases and gave me plenty of options for ways to improve my ride. It was a great experience overall, and I will definitely be back!

I have been going to this shop for several years now, and my experiences have been excellent. I decided to write this review, because my visit there today was truly impressive. I arrived just as they were closing up the shop, but they stayed open a few extra minutes to take care of my product purchase. The workers have great knowledge, and their love of bicycles is shown in their work. I highly recommend this shop for any and all of your bicycle needs.

I have been a customer of Main Street Bikes for a number of years now and Jeff the owner has always been very professional. It is important for me to have a relationship with a bike shop and Jeff is very easy to work with. I am one of a thousand customers but he makes me feel special. I send all my friends here. Honesty and competence are the two most important qualities in an owner. Jeff has both.

Main Street Bicycles has excellent customer service! I went in and worked with the owner to find the perfect bike for me. I explained what I wanted and ended up purchasing the first bike that I was shown. They attached all accessories and made sure that everything was perfect before I left the store. I highly recommend purchasing a bike or coming in for service!

I stopped in on my way down the bike trail to pick up a new tube and a tire. I got a great deal on two tires and they changed them for me. While they were at it they also did a quick tune up on the chain and cables and fixed a few nagging issues Ive been ignoring. My bike feels like new again! Great service and very knowledgeable staff.

My husband is more of cyclist and he brought me here to find a good Fox River Trail bike to ride. Love you all and how friendly you are. Bought an awesome bike and works well on indoor spinner so I am getting ready for warm weekends on the local trails. We will be back and recommend this place to everyone.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Awesome location on fox river trail. Fixed my flat including tube for $15 and checked my bike for other problems minutes before they closed and they were happy to do it, no rush to leave on Saturday night. They could not have treated me better.
