Patrick Yaeger

Friendly knowledgeable staff, convenient neighborhood location, nice selection of bikes and accessories. I come here primarily for regular bike maintenance and advice. Yes, there's a bike rack out front!

Can't say enough good things about Jimmy and his crew. The vibe when you walk in is definitely not 60 year old casual cyclist, more like serious inquiries only....that couldn't be further from the truth. They genuinely are interested fitting you with the most appropriate bike for the kind of riding you do whether you are a hard core biker or just a casual exercise rider. Their service is excellent and very fast no matter where you bought your bike. I traded up recently to something much more in tune with the kind of riding I do, what I should have bought to begin with had I only known about these guys earlier. If you are in the market for a new or used bike or just need good quality service these are your guys and Parkside is the place!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BIKE SHOPS! I came here to get my second bike finished and they have been very helpful in doing that. Zach is a very knowledgeable person and so is Dan when it comes to bikes and can only assume the same for the others that work here. They have a great selection of parts and has a great friendly atmosphere at this place. Get a bike and get out and ride!

Abigail Mattingly

I got a bike here, and now I can bike even faster than the cars on the expressway. Jimmy took care of us, and was professional, friendly, and informative. Highly recommend this local business for all bike needs, as well as repairs!

Robert Gates

These guys great! I bought a new bike from them a year ago and managed to run over a staple. Took it in for repair and Dan recommended a more puncture resistant tire and also (at my request) installed a slightly larger sized tire than the one that came with my bike. While in for repair Dan also tuned it up perfectly. He also recommended a new helmet that is soooo comfortable. Almost like I'm not wearing a helmet at all. These are trustworthy guys who will be my go to for all bike related issues. Fair prices too!

Jesse Pavlovic

Great bike shop! Jimmy and another great associate ( I can't remember his name, which is hilarious since we talked about how he has trouble remembering things) were very helpful and informative when helping my husband and me pick out a bike. We are new to Louisville and can tell it's a great city for a bike! We pointed out what we were looking for and they pointed us in the right direction. I never felt pushed or like they were trying too hard for a sale! Two great dudes hooked us up with two awesome bikes. Can't wait for warmer weather!! Thanks Park Side!

I was trying to get a single bike rack for my car and the guy worked with me on finding one compatible with my model. When it was clear the only one that would fit was presently outside my price range, he immediately understood and didn't try to sell me on it; little things like this exhibit a business of good character. I'll be going back for a regular bike tune-up, accessories, and that damn bike rack when I'm flusher.

Mr. M

Used to shop there often when I lived nearby. Good people, great service. Now I live in Jeffersontown and we have no bike shop in Jtown. If you ever consider opening another location, please consider Jeffersontown. Lots of bicyclists here and not a single bike shop.

Parkside staff = excellent. Slowly transitioning from commuter lifestyle to more endurance training, so I was looking for a shop that focused on information provision as well as quality servicing. If you’re seeking the chance to learn more about fit, adjustments, product design, etc. so you feel more informed on how to select and care for your investment, stop by Parkside. They’ll give you their time. I purchased my bike from a separate store and, although I’d receive some free in-store services, their customer service was very poor. I’d rather pay Parkside for the same services because I’m happier giving my business to a quality shop. Thanks again Parkside!

Lisa Sumner

The guys at Parkside are awesome!! We'll never take our bikes anywhere else!!

charles whitehead

New to biking and bought an old 60's Schwinn cruiser to bring back to life. Went to Park Place hoping they had a wheel to substitute for the Scwinn wheel that requires a hard to find tire size. Park Place had that tire size in stock, as well as that size tube. Had another small part I didn't expect to find too. Sweet ... Saved me the cost of a new wheel. The staff was friendly and I was in and out in 10 minutes or so. There may another great shop in town but I can't imagine a better one.

Jake Miller

Got my bike overhauled at their shop. The front derailleur was not working right when I got it home. I couldn't easily bring the bike back in, so the owner drove to my house and did the repair in my driveway. Super impressed with his willingness to go above and beyond to make it right

Bill Jordan

High quality information from every staff person... Willing to help out whether you buy or not...they work with distributors to find exactly what you need even if they have to order it special...they happily solve any after purchase problem...I went to four shops when I was searching for a specific type. Even when I bought a used street racer, I took it there for tires and a tune up. We came back to buy a new Bianchi for my wife which they ordered specially. This is my only bike shop now.

Nathaniel Stone

I visited Parkside intending to only shop for bikes. After a test ride, both owner Ben and his mechanic were eager to answer any question I had, while never being pushy. I left the shop to think on the purchase and continue shopping. Unfortunately it was after business hours when I settled on a decision. Ben was gracious enough to open his doors on a Saturday night, saving me four hours driving. His offer on my trade-in was more than fair. When there was a warranty issue after a few hundred miles, I called and scheduled an appointment for a small window of time I could be in the city. The shop was expecting me and completed the repair quickly and competently. Definitely recommend.

Kelly Taliaferro

My husband and I went to Parkside today, and I don't normally write reviews, but after I left Parkside I was so HAPPY with my experience there! Ben was super friendly and helpful, he is very knowledgeable about the bikes and he has a passion for riding. I've never been bike shopping before, so I was kind of overwhelmed with the process, but Ben and his team made me feel very comfortable. He went over and beyond in customer service. We left with a super tricked out bike, awesome glasses, helmet, water bottle......the works! I'm so excited to ride my new bike and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It is so pretty, I can't believe it's mine..... and it makes me want to hit the road and ride forever. Thank you Parkside for igniting a love of riding in me!

teresa tuck

We always have a great experience at Parkside Bikes. Great staff, great work on the bikes and just the best customer service. Highly recommended!!

Chloe Crowell

Jimmy at Parkside was patient and knowledgeable when my mom and I came in to purchase her a bike to try something new after her upcoming hip replacement. We had a lot of fun and my mom came out smiling from ear to ear. Will be back to get my bike serviced and purchase accessories in the spring! Thank you!

Tobias Lee

This is the first review I've written on here. I was moved to do so by the experience I had at Parkside Bikes in the Highlands. This was by far the best bike shop experience I've ever had. Friendly, no pressure, super knowledgeable, extremely helpful. I brought my road bike in for servicing and couldn't be happier with the results. They really go above and beyond here.

Becca

Super nice & helpful people! They brought my neglected bike back to life, rides better than I remember now & they even helped me load it in my car :) Will definitely continue to make the hour commute for them to take care of my bike. Thank you all!

Morghan McCool

I went in with having 0 knowledge of bicycles whatsoever and the staff were super knowledgeable. I just wish you were open more. I am never able to come in because the shop is closed on the days I'm off and I work during their exact business hours. I can't imagine I'm the only one with this issue. Otherwise a great shop with super knowledgeable staff. -1 star for the hours :(

Tim Peters

I purchased a touring bike with the help of Jeff and thanks to the mechanics. I had a great self supported tour from DC to PIT on the C&O & GAP. No mechanical problems what so ever, and with some luck no flats either. These guys will take care of your biking needs.

Nicholas Meza

Great group of people and always willing to help! Bought a used bike here and came back months later for some adjustments/repairs. They were super helpful and I can't imagine finding a shop with better prices!

Luke Robinson

They have taken great care of my 87 Trek Cirrus Touring bicycle for the past 7 years. Super knowledgeable staff and take great care new high end bikes or classic cruisers. Plus a cool store 👍👍 …

jason rubino

First experience there, and I must say, by far the best experience I've ever had at a bike shop....ever. The staff is humble and knowledgeable. Previous experiences at other local bike shops have been kind of disappointing. Other places were kind of pretentious, and the entire reason I'm at a bicycle shop is because I value professionals who know more than I do, so why be condescending? I Digress...back to PARKSIDE....They tuned up an early 80's Schwinn Super Sport and made the bike ride like new. New tubes tires, bar wrap, pedal straps, and regulating everything else. The cycle technician called me to ask a couple questions on how I wanted the bike set up. The bike was done in three days, and the total was less than expected and quoted. Could not be more satisfied with my experience. They've gained a customer for life.

I was riding from Cherokee park downtown and back. 16 miles into my ride I had a flat downtown on Witherspoon and didn't have a spare. I walked a mile until my ride came to get me. I went straight to Parkside Bikes since they are next to the park and my point of origin. They fixed my flat within 10 minutes and I was back on my way! They were courteous, friendly and had great tunes playing! I highly recommend this shop. Thanks for putting me back on the rode so quickly!

Thomas Noel

I've been shopping at Parkside since getting my first 10 speed 8 years ago. The staff are always knowledgeable and helpful and furthermore just awesome guys. The founder Ben is great: whether he is helping me pick out a pair of road shoes or stopping in the park to help with a stubborn flat tire you can always tell he loves cycling and even more so he loves sharing cycling. I highly recommend Parkside for any cycling needs.

Terri Sparks

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The shop has lots of nicely displayed inventory and choices and it’s locally owned which is always a plus. If you’re looking for a bike, go see Jef; he’ll help you find the perfect fit.

Christine Vaughan

Always helpful and friendly. I never worry about any of my bikes when they are in the hands of the Parkside Bikes machines. They do not try and upsell you on unnecessary fixes or products. Great Service and great people.

Cortney Etherton

I had been looking at bikes for Months and visited a couple of other bike shops. I made a call to PS and spoke to Brent, I went down to the shop right after we got off the phone and Brent helped find me the perfect bike for my needs. Great bike shop! Will definitely recommend to anyone of any level, looking for a new bike.

Evan Cox

I went to Parkside with a bent wheel and they had me fixed up and out the door in 10 mins. The staff is friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable. I plan to use them for all my bike-related needs.

Sean Meredith

Great service and decent prices on quality bikes. They can help with weekend riders looking to upgrade as well as the hard core cyclists needs.

Jonathan Brown

Great shop and very good service center. I had my biked serviced and they did a great job. It rode like a new bike. Good price and they replaced some of my parts with used equipment saving me money on the necessary parts.

Elaine Harlan

Offers several varieties of bikes. Staff was knowledgeable about the bikes. Upon asking what I was looking for in a bike, I was directed towards a couple of bikes that would fit my needs. No high pressure sales. Was offered a chance to test ride the bike after they adjusted the bike to my height.

Gregory Newkirk

The experience at Parkside was GREAT!!! I haven't rode a bike in 30 years, and for quite some time now been thinking about recreational road biking. With new technology and advancement in bikes there is a great deal to learn, thats where Ben (Parkside Founder) comes in...Ben is extremely knowledgable and was very helpful in leading me to the right choice of bike without the sales pressure and tactics of trying to make a sale. If I feel pressured or the salesman sounds gimmicky, I will walk out! But not at Parkside, they make you feel at ease as soon as you come in the door. Great first day with my new bike and love it!!! I will recommend Parkside to every one I know even if their not bike riders, who knows maybe they will become one! :) Thanks Ben! Greg

Drew Cox

Always helpful and friendly! Great riding advice and helpful maintenance advice. This will certainly be my new bike shop going forward for all my bikes.

Stephanie Erbes

We love Parkside. They owners and staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. We were here late (right around closing time) on Thunder Saturday and the staffer was more than happy to have us test ride and to answer our questions. We will be back here!

S

Great place to have your bike worked on for a fair price . I’ve had a rim trued and a gear shifter replaced on separate occasions and both times they did it within an hour while I walked down bardstown road.

Troy Windhorst

Good: - no-pressure customer service that insures a relaxed, comfortable shopping experience - full service provider - knowledgeable staff - great selection of bikes Bad: - nothing to report First class bike shop all the way! Highly recommend.

leifer mcleiferson

Parkskide is the only bike shop that I have ever been to where the employees weren't complete arrogant jerks. Hands down the best customer service and friendliness I have ever received at a bike shop, and i'm elated to be wearing their great t-shirt today! Highly, highly recommended.

tiffany woodard

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the bikes are high quality and the prices are great. You truly can’t find a better bike shop in Louisville.

Great Shop.Purchased my 11year old son a mountaineer bike.I have been back a couple time for normal wear issues.They fix it immediately while I wait.Service is what you get when using a local bike shop over A big box retailer.I recommend PARK SIDE.

Russell Grant

I had an issue with my crank after a tuneup. Even though the issue was unrelated to the components Parkside serviced, they fixed the issue and gave me a new crank for free. Glad to see that these guys stand behind their service!

Steve Lanier
