Reviews of Freewheel Bike
Rocco Chiero
This place is 1st class. I stopped in while out of town for work to check out a bike I’ve been wanting. They were extremely courteous, professional, and attentive. If only all businesses functioned this way.

Marcy instantly greeted me when I walked into the store. I told her what I was interested in, Trek Dual Sport2, in blue. She had one in stock and got the bike down and went over it, then suggested that I take it for a ride. She got the saddle adjusted and off I went. When I got back to the store, she asked me if I had any questions, and if I liked the bike. She also suggested that she had other colors in that TS2 and that it wouldn’t take long to assemble one if I wanted a different color. I told her that I wanted this particular bike due to the blue is hard to find. Marcy was very knowledgeable, friendly and a wonderful lady to talk to. I would strongly recommend this store and see Marcy!
Doug Duea
I always find the staff very friendly and helpful. I have had especially good experiences with the mechanics in the maintenance area. Professional and knowledgeable. They have a large stock of products, clothing and bikes. A great local bike shop!
Alex Hrkac-Budzisz
Bought my Surly Ice Cream Truck here and they were kind enough to hold it for a week while I arranged to pick it up. Super friendly, knowledge, and responsive staff. Highly recommend!
Salahadin Saleh
I was absolutely taken care of by this wonderful and very friendly staff. I felt extremely comfortable getting assistance from a lady with purple hair(sorry I can't remember her name, and the bike mechanic Ken or Kenneth was extremely helpful and worked with care and answerd my novice questions without any condescending tone or judgment. My bike looks the way I had envisioned it, and am happy with the service provided. Also last but not least, I was so surprised the wonderful lady helping me pronounced my name correctly. This never happens.. ever... anywhere. Thank You to Freewheel and all the associates that work there.
Harris Scharf
Highly recommend Freewheel Bike shop. The employees were super nice and knowledgeable!
Lucas Harris
The staff is always helpful and friendly at every location I've been to, and if you don't have a particular item in the store you've been able to easily get it on order. Just a great local bike shop.
Hillary Oppmann
Love our local Freewheel shops! Great staff, knowledgeable and helpful, and great selection of bikes and gear. Repair service is always top notch.
Noah Lucas
Excellent service, knowledgeable staff, great selection, and quality product. Freewheel is my go-to shop for all my cycling needs. I was able to order a bike they didn’t currently have in inventory and the process was painless. Highly recommend!
Warren Sheaffer
Freewheel is a very high quality bike shop with a very experienced and informed staff. I been a customer for 20 years and have not had any cause for complaint. I really enjoy the atmosphere and the people. My money is always well spent when I get my gear there.
Dave Cecchi
Here's the deal with Freewheel - in a town of great bike shops, Freewheel is worthy to be called a great bike shop. It positions itself as an all market all riders all smiles super approachable, knowledgeable and fast store with a huge selection of bikes and some of the best wrenches in town. I have been visiting this freewheel since the early 90s when you could bring your bike in and use their tools and pay like 2 bucks and they'd spend the whole evening explaining how to fix your problem. That coop culture remains which is great.
I love Freewheel.
Sam Paske
Freewheel is the best. When a manufacturer warranty replacement was going to take six weeks, they worked serious magic to turn it around in less than 1. Great customer service and awesome staff!
Garrett Kubischta
The crew here is always helpful and nice!Marcie is so knowledgeable, and is a legend in my book!
Beyond that, the mechanics are always willing to explain things like I'm five, but are never condescending.
Kurt Knutson
Awesome shop! Marcy was very helpful and friendly. Had the bike in stock I wanted and for $900 less than Now Bikes which lied to me about getting said bike.
Larry Burgart
The service and sales staffs are expert and engaging. Joining the Fanatics Program has saved me money on service and helped me build up my winter riding gear!
Tom Racciatti
Freewheel West Bank has a knowledgeable sales and repair staff. I particularly appreciate the service and repair team.
Steve Wozniak
From the very moment I decided to start looking for a new road bike to when I walked out of the store with it was a great experience. This wasn’t just a one day deal. In fact, it was about a year long process. There were multiple emails sent back and forth between Chad and myself. He answered all of my questions promptly and in great detail. There were a few in store meeting as well with both Chad and Marcy. Both were very helpful and professional when explaining products, suggestions and fitting. I would definitely recommend your store to people looking for a basic bike and products to high end bikes and products. I am very pleased with the service and most of all my bike, Now, I just need the snow to melt so I can ride it.
Kai-Uwe Möller
I have brought my bikes in a few times for service and I am amazed by the friendliness and professional service. Everyone seems to know me by name, but I am not sure if it's a good thing as my mountain bike obviously needs too many repairs :) The whole store looks very clean, spacious and organized. If I needed a new bike I'd very likely consider buying it there.
John Ramsey
Great buying experience! Staff at Freewheel was friendly and ensured I was all ready to go on my new bike. I really love my new Trek FX4 Sport and look forward to having a quality, fun to ride bike for years to come! Staff is knowledgeable and they offer a free tuneup in the first year and it is easy to get help, service at Freewheel Bike.
Justin Garski
Great people that took the time to help me size up and sort my saddle issues. Explained what I was feeling and why.
Like the other Freewheel locations, great people, great products, and zero pressure.
I’ll be back!
Ann Gross
On my birthday ride checking out murals around Minneapolis on August 19 I had a sudden blowout (seriously sounded like a gunshot!). Lucky for me it happened 6 blocks from Freewheel. The guys at the shop were able to replace my tubeless tire and get me back on the road to enjoy the rest of the ride.
Minh Huynh
Great place, my sister got her first bike here, and the staff were exceptionally helpful and went out of their way to help her. I've also had them help remove a seized bottom bracket.
Danny Greene
There is something special about Freewheel. Their genuine love and passion for biking shines through their customer service. I’ve always only bought used, but my first time buying new was extraordinary. I love supporting businesses like this. Allie & Eli were so helpful guiding me. Trusting their guidance was easy. Customer for life.
mary orourke
I have consistently found the service department to provide quality, honest & professional service. Very attentive to all requests and great turn-around on the repairs.
Paul Hudalla
Staff have always been helpful and knowledgeable. Mechanics have dropped everything they were doing to help me on two occasions when I needed an emergency repair done (once chain broke - once tire broke). Store has better inventory than competition. Located on the West Bank of Minneapolis is a big advantage for me since it is halfway between my work and my home. Bought my first bike here circa 1999 and continue to go back whenever I need parts or service for my bike! :)
Caitlin M
Love this place, love the staff. Every interaction I have had has been great, helpful, and non-judgmental for folks like me who don't know a lot about bikes but love to ride them. I definitely always recommend Freewheel to people I know for knowledgeable assistance and helpfulness.
Benjamin Van Schaick
I stopped here today, and I got awesome service from Chris. The staff there were very kind and understanding, and Chris even showed me how to set up my new bike lock in addition to giving me advice (in an uncondescending manner) as for where to mount it on my frame while I ride. The staff there seem very knowledgeable, and if anyone needs repairs on their current bike or just want to buy a new bike, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a go.
Matthew Kauffmann
I’ve bought a couple bikes here but the real value of FreeWheel is all the help with everything else. Helmets, tires, locks. Just a great bike shop.
Mark Miller
Excellent turn-around time to ship my order! Had parts in hand in two days. A+ job!
Katie George
Exceptionally helpful and kind staff. They helped me get set up with everything I needed and all within my budget. Many of their prices are comparable, if not cheaper, than what I found online. Would absolutely recommend!
Riley Mae Burns
I am so glad I bought a bike here! Chris was incredibly kind and helpful and immediately found my dream bike. He also gave me great tips on navigating the city on two wheels! The package for buying a bike are hard to beat. I’ll definitely be back m for maintenance and would recommend purchasing a bike here!
Nathan Hale
I really appreciate how I was greeted as soon as I walked in to grab the bike I put a deposit on. I was quoted a week for a build, but the team got it together in less than 24 hours (amazing)!
I purchased a cage and upgraded pedals and they were installed promptly - also amazing. It’s a 30 minute drive to this location from the burbs, and I would prefer to come here going forward to service all of my Trek bikes.
Thank you all for being so great in the midst of the busiest bike season. I cannot begin to fathom how you can pull off such great service when things are this crazy in your industry. Thank you! Thank you!
Jason Johnson
I was able to bring a project bike into the shop and discuss my goals with a mechanic. After some back and forth, we found a list of repairs and upgrades that fit my budget and intentions. Despite a long wait for one of the parts, all the other tasks were done in a timely manner; and some of those were somewhat complicated. I was able to communicate directly with the mechanic over email and got responses back right away. Overall, I got exactly the repairs I needed along with good personal service.
Mallory Willett
Marcy helped me so much in the search for my first road bike from showing me every option in my price range to fine-tuning the seat height during my test ride once the bike came in stock. She answered all my last minute questions during a busy Saturday and made me even more excited about my purchase. I really appreciate all her help and highly recommend Freewheel for their knowledge and service.
Evan Zaremba
Everyone was so kind at the shop! I came in because I had stuck an inner cable while trying to route my new dropper. They were happy to help me even though I came in during the last 15 minutes they were open.
Ishana Aggarwal
Great place. Super Quick service. Helpful and friendly staff. Economical place to get bike repaired :)
Majestic outdoors Rip
Great help, test rode a bike & got suggestions beyond what i wished for (in a good way) great advice
Michael Benz
We were helped by both a newer staff member and a very experienced staff member. They both went to great lengths to help us decide on a long-term bicycle for our teenager. We wanted something that will get her through early adulthood. They helped us decide on what was appropriate for the types of terrain she encounters, and took the time to educate us on newer technologies that we weren't familiar with. We did not feel hurried or pressured, and feel very happy with our purchase. We were able to purchase new accessories, as well as take some accessories off of her old bike. They even gave us recommendations on where we could donate her old bike.
Colin
We've got a lot of great bike shops in Minneapolis, but freewheel is one of the best. Their staff is super knowledgeable but not pushy. They're happy to just chat with you. In the past year Ive brought in one bike for a complete overhaul and have also purchased shoes and other accessories. A few years back I bought a full bike from them. I've always had a positive experience here and would highly recommend them.
Eli Nadeau
Studies show that daytime running lights make for a safer ride. This is true. My research suggests that obtaining equipment from Freewheel ensures a brighter day overall. Contributing factors include illuminating encounters with sales and service people, and a generalized environment of buoyancy.
Walt Johnson
Picture of me bicycling West Coast Washington Cascade N.P. to San Francisco California . Freewheel has kept my bikes going for 50 years . I'm 6-7 260 pounds and my bikes take a beating .
Carlos Eduarte
Freewheel Bike is the best bike shop in town. It's a great place to get your bike fixed, get some more air, or pick up any other supplies you need at any point in your ride. They have an extremely helpful staff that is very knowledgeable on anything bike related.
Jean Modaff
Very responsive and available via email and phone. Managing customer and worker safety during this time of COVID. Also appreciate being given all the options, but not being sold up, since the higher-priced bikes don't really fulfill my needs as an older cyclist. I got a great bike at a great price that will serve my needs, and I'm really happy!!!
Jean Dwire
Great service, they had the bike I was looking for. We had the pleasure of working with Marcy who are as very knowledgeable, personable and took good care of us even as the store was incredibly busy. All the staff were great but we’d go back to this store just to work with Marcy!!
Jonathan Fillmore
Had the bike I wanted available which is why I went to this store. Very clean and well run store. Limited product line for accessories which causes me to buy pedals for my new bike online. Employee who helped me didn’t seem to know anything about bikes but it seemed like others in the store did. I knew what size and bike I wanted so it was a big deal for me and didn’t seek out more experienced employees.
Mark Bixby
Freewheel offers a full range of products and services around bicycling. Their staff are knowledgeable and friendly and they have a good inventory of products from which to choose.
Bob McCauley
Have bought two bikes from this Freewheel store. Both were set up professionally by the services there. Every time I need a repair, a tuneup service, or equipment (helmet, bottle racks, clothing, etc.) I received nothing but excellent service. Love this place and a the people who work there! Endorse them without reservation!
kthom2001
Freewheel has been my Go-To bike shop for decades. The Team there is always Helpful, friendly and informative. They seem to always have what I need and the knowledge to answer my questions about my everyday needs or my crazy ideas!
Detroit3Pistons
Sam was very knowledgeable and answered all Of my questions thoroughly. He showed me what shock pump I should get because I was having an issue getting a reading with the one I had. Marcy is also very nice and knowledgeable, she is a sweetheart! I will definitely get a returning customer unless I Decide to get a brand they do not carry. They are also very safe and follow Covid guidelines very well.
Tony Dolter
Picked up a new salsa journeyman, fantastic bike for a great price! Also went to three different Freewheel stores to find the right bikes for my wife and I, and EVERY worker at EVERY store was incredibly nice and so helpful. The experience couldn't have been better, I would recommend anyone looking for a bike to go to Freewheel.
Paul Loughman
I've purchased both my road bikes from Freewheel West Bank. Since day one, I've always been welcomed by name when I come in, and given prompt attention to my needs. The service department is outstanding. They too, have always been welcoming and respectful, listening to any issues or needs I may have, and addressing them promptly. I have not hesitation what so ever recommending Freewheel Bike for anyone looking to purchase a bike, or to have the one they own serviced.
Jon Connolly
Great service.
brought a bike in for service. As expected the tech was knowledgeable but more importantly worked with me to make sure the correct work was done and set up expectations for price.
On the same visit I purchased a road bike. Marcie made sure that the bike met my needs.
Kristina T
I know nothing about road bikes, and I got very good advice and recommendations from staff here for my road bike and trainer goals. This is definitely a shop with a fan base of cyclists that are way more hardcore than I will ever be, and even with the extra cool atmosphere I still felt very welcome. Also with the membership I was able to save A LOT of money and come in under the $ limit I had set for myself. Thanks!
Kelli Wetherhold
Went in today hoping to find a hybrid Trek around $1K. I haven't bought a bike in 17 years, so I had a list of things that I wanted but didn't know if I would find what I was looking for. When I walked into Freewheel Bike, I was immediately greeted by Marcy and she was SO HELPFUL! They had so many Trek bikes in stock, in my size. I test rode a few and liked a few aspects of each of the ones that I rode, but didn't find "the one". Marcy was able to add a handlebar extension to the bike with the front suspension that I loved and I was able to walk away with my dream bike. AND it was under budget, in my favorite color scheme (black). One of the most positive purchasing experiences I've ever had, thank you Marcy!!
Robyn Reed
Knowledgeable and very helpful sales staff (looking at you, Marcy) and great maintenance staff (Brent). They went out of their way to track down the bikes I wanted to try out, in the right size. Lots of great expert advice in selecting a new bike and great attention to detail in making sure it was the right fit and ready to ride. Thank you!
Bennett White
Simply put, I love freewheel because of the the people. Marcie at the cedar Ave location has taken such good care of me and my dad for years. I’ve also had good experiences with the team at the Penn location. A bike is a commodity, but working with the freewheel team is an experience. Getting to know y’all has truly changed my life. I sold my car, lost 40lbs, and have learned to enjoy my daily life. Couldn’t have done it without y’all. Thank you!!!!
Tracy Huebner
The product knowledge is what I appreciated the most. The ability of staff to give first hand experience with the product or riding style; touring, gravel, mountain bike or road riding was extremely helpful. The ability of the mechanic to adapt the fenders I purchased to the fork/rack was amazing and just well done. I felt staff was more concerned with giving me good information so I could make a good decision rather than making a quick sale. Plain and simple I had a good time making this important purchase. Handing over my hard earned money. Thank you Chris. (Chris was my sales person.)
Mark Elias
This shop is the best!! Employees are knowledgeable and friendly. The mechanics are experienced and repair prices are fair.
Alex Saunders
Service was over the top. I went to one location to try a bike I saw online but it was out of stock there so they sent me to the West Bank location. When I arrived the bike I was interested in was already pulled up front, pedals and day lights attached, and helmet ready for my test ride. Not only was the bike and price just what I was looking for Chris helped me put together a couple additional things I needed to accommodate my weekly commute. Products ordered arrived same day and I got emails and calls letting me know my gear was in.
Very knowledgeable and extremely friendly team! Freewheel will be my go to LBS in the twin cities from now on.
Sierra Dooley
Had a great experience with the salesman I worked with - he was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. He assisted in replacing a tube that popped in my current bicycle. He took the time to explain and educate me without making me feel naive. Really great service!
Nolan Wages
Expert advice and good recommendations. Their loyalty program and excellent service makes up for the fact that the products are a bit more pricey than they would be at a bigger retailer or online. Support your local bike shop!
Tyler Menucci
Professional work and up front lead times for parts/service. Not many bike shops were even willing to service my rear shock but freewheel west bank did not hesitate and finished it ahead of their projected 5 week turn around time thanks to Sam.
Mike Reed
Brought my road bike there. Excellent, knowledgeable sales staff.
Had an issue a year later with it...brought it in. Their mechanic Allison took one look at my bike, diagnosed the issue, fixed it on the spot...no charge. They could have gouged me if they wanted. Great bike shop, great people.
arron valleen
Knowledgeable and friendly staff which made my buying experience very nice.
Henry Dragun
Nice bike shop within downtown minneapolis, probably one of better bike shops with a quite a few affordable options if you are looking for an entry level bike. Extremely helpful staff as well willing to answer questions you may have for what you are looking for. Definitely will be heading back there in the future for additional attachments.
Sean Lawrence
Incredible service. Knowledgeable, kind, personable and kept me in the loop as to what repairs my bike needed and the associated cost. Also the safety procedures felt very good, with minimal inconvenience. I already referred my gf to get her brakes fixed, and will be going exclusively to Freewheel for the foreseeable future.
Tim Loesch
The staff helped me get the order correct and had it shipped directly to my house. Item arrived quickly and I was happy with the price. 20% off for a Freewheel Fanatic!
Owen Holmseth
Best service I have ever had. Specifically, they helped with my lefty shock when no one else services them!! Also, great sales guys didn’t pressure a buy but gave me insight into new bikes this year. Great experience!
Brynn “The Swedish Fishtress” Johnson
Amazing customer service! Of all the places I went to I chose freewheeler because of your service. Im a beginner cycler and your staff was kind, respectful and informative. The care package given with a new bike purchase rivals the packages provide by other stores. The bike selection had exactly what I needed and the staff provided me with options to upgrade in the future. Happy to give your guys my service.

Sales staff is awesome. The repair crew was thorough with my crusty bike. A comp tune up and the thing is like new. I called for a scheduling and the woman was so positive she suggested a pair of snow tires within my budget that are fantastic! Can’t recall names but I always recommend Freewheel for all things bicycle. I was reminded how to use a tire tool and was given an exhaustive explanation of the new CO2 tire inflation technology. I made great choices with Marcy help and spent wisely! :)
Samuel Winkler
The technicians at the West Bank location went above and beyond what was specified in the tune-up package I selected. They were helpful and transparent with the level of necessity of parts replacements. Even though I paid over $300, the service I received felt like a steal. Thank you!
Myles Voigt
This is an awesome bike shop. I go here for all my bike needs. They do an amazing job, and they are very knowledgeable. They are happy to answer any questions I have including repairing things on my own. There was one time that I only had $20 dollars on me and the cashier changed the price on some tubes so that I could still afford a deal they were having on buy 3 get one free. I have also brought my bike in to have a wheel trued, and they didn't even charge me for it. That wasn't the first time they have done that for me either. I just had a freehub rebuilt, and they quoted me two days, but it was done in a few hours. The prices are a little higher than what you will find online, but stores have overhead, and the knowledge and service I have received from this shop makes that little extra well worth it. What they don't have in-shop they can order from their catalog. I have ordered many parts from them and have always done an excellent job in getting the right parts in a reasonable time frame. Try them out, I doubt you will be disappointed.
Andrew Hartzheim
I emailed Sam concerning an older suspension fork (2005 Fox TALAS RL) that I was needing a part for. I was very impressed that he took the time to answer my emails and gave me good advice and options on what I could do to keep my fork usable. I have not been to FreeWheel Bike, but I will definitely be stopping there the next time I am in need of service or seeking my next bike. Thanks Sam!
Randee Edmundson
Expert knowledge and assistance in choosing and fitting a bike to my needs. I am always impressed with the time and patience they take with customers. I just bought a new bike and took it on a long ride tonight. I love it!! It rides just as Marcy said it would on a long ride.
Emilio Alvarez
Professional, well-priced service and incredibly knowledgeable staff. I'd be happy to spend an entire afternoon learning about bikes and bike gear at Freewheel
Note that this is a popular place, so service times can be a few weeks when the season starts
david weinberg
Marci is amazing and she definitely knows her bikes. She is the reason why we have been buying bikes at Freewheel for years! Even with the pandemic and strict rules about only one person allowed into the store at a time, she took the necessary time with us.
Brad S
Local bike shops offer excellent products and services and Freewheel is no exception. Their locations are convenient and their friendly and passionate employees burst with knowledge, excitement, and dedication. Thank you!
Gabriel Romero
Excellent experience. Went in with a tearing tire, left with a brand new tire, and the knowledge to replace another.
The specific staff member I worked with was fantastic because she was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. She even taught me how to install a new tire, check for leaks in the tube, and avoid pinching.
I definitely recommend this store and it should be your new go-to place if it is near your daily commute!
Blocked User
I've been treated extremely well by the staff at Freewheel Bike. I've never been made to feel anything but 'important', even if I'm only in to ask some questions. I believe that Freewheel Bike genuinely sees anyone who comes into their stores as the reason they (Freewheel Bike) exist.
Andrew Brown
Always without fail my favorite cycling shop in the cities! This time they helped a close friend choose a new bike for himself. Impressive service and pricing as usual! Go here. You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
Carrie Miller
Sam went the extra distance to help solve the rear shock issue on my Stumpjumper. He Also found a crack in my chain stay during his inspection that had gone noticed and could have been very bad had it broke during a ride. You are lucky to have such knowledgeable and dedicated bike professionals on staff. I would defiantly recommend Freewheel to others. Thanks again for the great service, Jim Miller
Claire I Milldrum
They were pretty helpful, and pointed out an upcoming issue on my bike. They didn't push me when I told them that I just didn't have the cash right now to fix it, but I am glad they pointed it out/gave me a pretty reasonable estimate so I can budget for it. I think the person who helped me was named Alex, and he was great!
Cindy Ylinen
I had a Wonderful Experience with Blake at
FreeWheel Bike !!
I live in Arizona and Blake called me to hold my dream bike , the Emonda SL5 - and shipped it to my Trek store here in the Valley .
I couldn’t find this bike anywhere in the South so I was Super excited when he called me to let me know one came in !
He kept me posted on the entire journey of getting the bike to me right down to the tracking # the day my bike was shipped !! THANK YOU BLAKE!!
Great Service!!! Drew was helpful as well . Great Team !!
Mathew Curran
Very knowledgeable, thorough staff. Mechanic dept. is also exceptional.
terrific follow up, post-purchase service when I had an unusual issue regarding my particular pedals fitting needs. Superb!
Sonia Mattson
Shockspital had my suspension refreshed in less than a week, outstanding especially during the busy spring season. Shop is super clean and well-stocked with a variety of items. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Thank you Freewheel!
Wayne Priest
The Orig Freewheel location (Cedar Ave & 6th in MNPLS) - "knowledge center" for bikes that are more than "commuter grade". Took my MTB bike in for a thorough clean, replace warn parts and adjust. Hubs, crank, shifters, wheels, etc. Explained everything before hand so that I understood what I would be paying for (and choose what work would be done). Everything completed as estimated, & when expected. Great job !
Chelsea Flaherty
Wow! What a fantastic experience we had with Freewheel Bike West Bank. My daughter and I arrived donning our covid masks, and we were greeted immediately at the door by a very warm and welcoming sales associate, Marcy Levine. We explained that my 6 year old daughter was ready for a new bike and Marcy brought us straight over to the kids section. Marcy was so sweet toward my daughter and even shared a story about how she first learned how to ride a bike. After a seamless transaction, my daughter took her brand new Trek bike straight to a vacant parking lot for some practice. Thank you Freewheel Bike West Bank. We'll be back when it's time to size up!
Gray Moon
You have parts in stock and great service! Patrick at your West Bank location remembers my name and always goes the extra mile, so I recommend Freewheel every chance I get. Keep it up!
Jason Lambertz
I went into to have them perform bike surgery on a stripped rear derailleur bolt. I unintentionally put pressure on one of their mechanics, I believe her name was Angela. She was fantastic! Got the bolt out even with me watching as I was nervous about the carbon frame. Great service!
Sean Foley
They fixed my flat very quickly, pleasantly, and for a reasonable price. Highly recommend!
Niko Blando
Didn't know what I was looking for, but got the best help I could've asked for.
Peter Grund
Staff is always extremely helpful and they take the time to answer all of my questions. Great services, nice selection of products. Your one-stop shop for (at the very least) commuter biking.
Newton Kirby
I’ve been a customer of Freewheel Bike, Minneapolis West Bank for years.
Steven Yetter
I have purchased 3 bikes from Freewheel. They do a great job of getting matching you with the right bike without the hard sell. Their service is second to none.
Jay Wilson
I needed to find an unusual size tube in an emergency for my wheelchair. I called around, and checked online - the soonest I could find was over a week. Freewheel had a stack, with options, for the lowest of the prices I saw, plus buy 3, get the 4th free. They were friendly, and had the products waiting when I arrived.
While I was at the store, my car and phone battery died. I asked to use their phone to call for a jump, which they facilitated, along with charging my phone, then they jumped my car.
I am very appreciative for their assistance, but also, it is rare and wonderful to be able to visit a local bike store and be treated like any other customer and be able to find what I need to purchase.
Jessica H.
Freewheel is an inclusive and friendly environment, and many of my favorite staff have been there for years. It's also my favorite shop because there's absolutely no pretension from the staff. I can walk into the shop in heels and a dress, and I don't get any attitude because I'm not in full biking gear, or shopping for a $5,000 bike. I can buy parts for my brick-on-wheels of a '64 Schwinn Collegiate, and they're in stock and comparatively priced. The shop floor is roomy, they have a free parking lot, and the automatic sliding door is really handy when you're bringing in your bike for repairs. Once one of the employees even helped me special order the last of a specific helmet from the supplier when they were out. So much West Bank Bike Love. Thanks, Freewheel!
Amy Luukkonen
Staff is super friendly to all customers; patient, knowledgeable, avid cyclists themselves. They’re eager to get you in the right bike not the most expensive bike!
Linda Breitag
They fixed my tire super fast (about two days before they said they'd be ready), and everyone was SO friendly. And very cautious about masks, distancing, and so forth. Thank you, Freewheel.
Lea Kirdatt
The staff was super helpful (answering all my many questions) fielding my phone calls and did excellent service on my bike. Thanks for the great work people!
Keaton Miller
Good sales department, with good selection of equipment and cycling related apparel. However, I've had multiple problems with the repair department. I had an alignment problem that multiple technicians were incapable of diagnosing. Additionally, a technician installed a rear cassette and chain incorrectly. In the latter case, the error caused further damage to the drivetrain.
I have now taken my bike to another shop to fix mistakes made by the Freewheel service department twice, and will not be returning to their store.
Jordan Altman
Eli was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in getting me fitted for my first bike. Look forward to purchasing many more!!
Nancy Vezner
The staff at this shop really want you to enjoy your biking!
They helped me thru many flat tires, eventual affordable new
wheel/rim. I am biking more than ever now.
james patrick
35 years riding..... 20 years commuting daily. Freewheel West Bank for life. Never once had a weird experience there. Wonderful humans and the best products. QBP and Trek/Bontrager Family are easy to get behind, and I've learned more about cycling and life in that shop than just about anywhere. THANK YOU for many years of amazing service, Freewheel Bike! - James Patrick - Slam Academy, Gamut Gallery.

Prompt, practical service. I had to bring in my mountain bike for a new chain and quick check up and I got exactly what I went for. They gave me helpful hints and didn't hesitate to answer my questions no matter how novice they were. The only downside is the relatively high prices, but it's worth the good service.

Very helpful, friendly, patient, and attentive staff. My flat tire was fixed right away and the young man who fixed it also loaded it into my car for me.
Will Diepholz
Best bike shop for mountain bikers in the twin cities! Their mechanics are experienced in front and rear suspension, dropper posts, and everything in between. Highly recommend!
David Dobish
I have been going to Freewheel for decades. I bought my first bike there in 1992 and still have it! Friendly staff and good selection. Highly recommended.
Stephen Pitts
Chris H was really helpful. I just moved to MN and I have no idea what I need to bike in the winter. He recommended several good products and encouraged me to come back with additional questions.
Matt C
Freewheel is my regular local bike shop. The staff is genuinely helpful and there is no pressure whether you are a newbie or experienced cyclist.
Amber Boecker
We had the best experience at Freewheel Bike because of our salesperson Marcy! She was so friendly and helpful, we were able to find exactly what we needed.
Paul K
These guys are awesome. Last time I brought a bike in, the part that broke was somewhat specialized and not in stock. I didn't want to wait to order one, so he called other locations and finally the local bike collective.
Where else do employees go out of their way like that for you?
Jace Bertsch
Plenty of expertise on ALL of the products and services offered here...which are impressive.
EE BEE
This place is the first place I call for parts/accessories. They always have what I need. It has always been cheaper than other bike shops. The mechanic has been incredibly helpful on multiple occasions!!
Christopher Kelly
Great help from everyone I talked to, and no pressure! Found the right bike.
Jake Nassif
Folks at Freewheel are super helpful and friendly and seem to legitimately care about setting people up.

Jane Newman
I brought my bike in for a tune-up and also bought some new bike gloves. Good assortment of sizes and types of gloves.
Sean Tardrew
Solid service. 3 stars because they charged me $29 for a new single speed chain after labor which seemed steep compared to other shops I visited. Still I will likely stop by again in the future.
Jenny Peters
Chad gave me a 75.00 basic fit, it made a world of differance! Nice work Chad Burma! I also love the great riding shorts I got on clearance.
Aaron English
Five stars unless Marcy is working. She hovers over me, follows me, and asks me how I am doing about every 30 seconds. She makes my experience stressful and tends to make me want to go to one of the many competitors in the area who don't treat me like I'm trying to steal everything not nailed down.
Ray Wroblewski
We've been going to Freewheel for 20 years. It's just a really well run operation. The staff are just the best.
Jeff -Jaguar- Martin
Chad & Farran!! Thanks for such great care and service. I know EXACTLY where I'm shopping for my next cycling products, that I can't find in Europe! Cheers! Jeff Martin
