Reviews of Recovery Bike Shop

Liv Taylor

I recently bought a bike from there , all of the staff was very Patient with me and answered any questions I had . It took me several hours , however I found a bike I pleased with . They were also very enjoyable to converse with and have beautiful bike knowledge . Thank you , again !

Harrison Lawrence

The people here are so good and dedicated to what they love doing. They convinced me to buy a bike that was 3 times the price I was looking for, but it's been worth every penny! The staff is fantastic and very knowledgeable. Even though we only have bought one bike from them, we've brought all my family's bikes in and referred my friends over.

Scott Mayer

This place is awesome. The staff are always amazing. I bought 3 bikes this year and I will buy the rest of my bicycles from Jerry's.

Epsilon Peters

Recovery has a large selection of used bikes that are a fraction of the cost of new and they also work on bikes.

John Roesner

Hi, this is a very good shop they help with what every you need., And also have used bike for sale too .

Ryan Peterson

Whether shopping for a used bike, getting my hands dirty searching through the large collection of used parts, buying accessories and tools, or asking the friendly staff for help or advice, shopping at Recovery has always been a pleasant and rewarding experience. Robin has always been polite and patient when helping me find parts or tools for my bike projects. My favorite bike shop in the Twin Cities!

Doug Maggi J

Great service, staff are very friendly and helpful in trying to get the bike that fits you just right. Selection varies but that is to be expected of a place that fixes and sells pre-owned bikes.

Howard Hudson

I had a great experience shopping here! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! I wanted to surprise my daughter and bring home her first bike. The shop's owners were even taking time to help me find the correct size of bike. The prices were great and I definitely plan to be back. Thank you Recovery Bike Shop for the amazing customer service!

Isabelle LaCosse

The staff were friendly but I am sad to say the actual bike repair service has been awful. I brought my bike in originally for a bent rim and since then I've had MORE issues than when I brought it in. I had them work on it a second time and there were STILL issues after! I'm not bringing it back and will be getting a new bike mechanic. I spoke with a mechanic friend of mine who said that everyone in the bike mechanic community apparently knows you shouldn't go here..? I don't like leaving bad reviews but if I had read one I definitely would have thought twice about coming here.

I picked up my three speed last night and was so happy with the work. I had new brakes put on and cables and when they saw I could use new bearings they called first to ask if I wanted that done. I even got a cool new fender to replace my defunct vintage one. Thank you! Gregory

Ryan Hamilton

Was recommended this shop from a local Facebook group. THEY’RE GREAT!! Everyone was very nice and the mechanic even offered for me to come back to the shop area and show me what he was doing. Prices are very fair and they had plenty of stuff on hand. Places like this are invaluable!! Please help support your local bike shops. Especially these people!

Dave Wallace

They really listened to your needs and aren't trying to upsell you on some new bike. They gave me their honest and expert opinion and I am having my old bike repaired. At ERIKs bike shop they told me bike was not worth repairing and quoted me double the price and tried to sell me a $3000 bike

Lizzy Lucas

Complete honest care. I really like the time and care they take on bikes. i bought one bike from them and really love it. Used frame and new parts. I also, brought in two bikes for issues. They not only fixed the problems (new brakes installed, new peddles installed for one bike. Brakes adjustment and rack installed on the other) but they re-greased the chains and feels like they just gave the bike a once over. Really happy with the service and the price. Feels like two new bikes . Awesome customer service as well.

Sarah Dwyer

Best bike mechanics in town. Extremely thorough and they do great work for a fair price. Even my janky old bike that sat in a garage since the 90's rides smooth as silk now. Friendly chill vibe.

Bryan Nguyen

My brother and I came there looking for a bike and was greeted by Ari, who was very knowledgeable and patient enough to help us find the right bike for us. He was very helpful and suggested us to have a test run with the bike since we weren’t sure about the size of the bike. Unfortunately, they were limited on mountain bikes due to high demand, so we ended up not getting a bike. I would recommend getting a bike from here if you want a good quality one. Since all of their bikes are built with good materials and care.

Ava Kelley

Super friendly and helpful staff. Recovery is a fantastic neighborhood bike shop. They're quick with advice, affordable parts, and anything else you might need. I've never bought a bike from them but they also appear to do a great job of restoring bikes to sell and have a small selection of very fun setups on new bikes.

John Jeske

I have been to almost every shop in the twin cities, and Recovery Bike Shop is by far the most friendly, humble, genuine, and honest shop in town. They treat you like an individual and a friend, not like a walking dollar sign. They carry an array of used bikes, new bikes, parts, and soft goods. They truly care about your problem and want to make sure you are satisfied and safe on the roads. Everyone of the employees is passionate and knowledgeable about bikes, and takes pride in helping you to the best of the their ability. Why go anywhere else??

Adam Klein

Soooo, pretty awesome staff. I bought a bike chain from them July 2019. When I tried to install it, my tools broke. They let me borrow theirs, as well as let me use the shop to change it out. They could have charged me labor or shop time, but didn't. Super knowledgeable, and super cares about making sure you end up getting what you need. Would give 6MM stars if I could.

Ryan Grittman

Great place. They helped me with a tubeless tire that just would not hold air. They took several days and tried multiple times and did not give up! They eventually got it to work and I couldn't be happier! They have also become my go-to for parts as they always have what I need!

April Schellman

I took my daughter's secondhand adaptive bike in for repair. They repaired it right away and free of charge! Faith in humanity restored!

Bethany DeLine

Employees were really nice and helpful. I didn't feel judged even though I don't know much about bikes. They helped me find the exact bike I wanted and this used bike was way more affordable than a new one. I even got to pick out my own handle bar tape color! Highly recommended.

Codey Camerer

This place was amazing.. although I wish they had a little bit more of a selection(I didn't find a bike 😕), the staff was very helpful and genuinely pleasant to interact with. I will definitely be stopping in regularly to check out new inventory as it comes in. …

Ann Gandini

Everyone was very helpful. Great selection of bikes. Prices were very reasonable. They took precautions during this crazy time of ours. I felt safe going in. This company is just so awesome.

Sarah Lanners

I wanted a speedier bike, and the one I picked out from Recovery just didn't fit my body and style I wanted. Alyssa and the staff let me return that bike, and then helped me handpick all the pieces to custom build a bike just for me. The bike that Alyssa built for me is PERFECT. I got the bike (which I've named Fawkes because like a Phoenix she was raised from the ashes) in August, but waited to write the review because I wanted to be sure it was the perfect bike AND IT IS! Thanks so much Alyssa and all the employees there for making my road bike dreams come true.

Stephen Paulson

This is a great place, they have a large selection of used parts, and you can trade your old bike in for credit.

Olga Parsons

Wonderful customer service, and great selection of used bikes! Caleb patiently helped my 12 year old son pick out the right bike. The price was right and the fit perfect. We are very happy.

Jeremy Korpi

Great place for all things bike. The staff is super knowledgeable and eager to help. No never feel like you are being talked down to because you know less than they do. From someone brand new to bicycling to someone having custom work done. This is definitely the place to go

Gabrielle LaPlante

So happy with how they fixed my bike quickly and cheaply!

Terry Bliss

Extremely professional and friendly staff that do great bike repairs and tune-ups. And very reasonably priced. Everyone that I have referred to this place has been impressed with it as well.

Michael Tangen

Super helpful and friendly staff, less than stellar selection. I really enjoyed going there and getting my questions answered and found the staff to be super helpful and friendly, but their inventory of bike components wasn't that great. Clearly it's a much better place to go get your bike repaired, to buy tires/tubes, or to buy a used/new bike, but beyond that they're kinda lacking in peripherals and accessories.

Konrad Case

I brought my bike in for a gear and brake adjustment and couldn't be happier! They did a great job and were very informative for future maintenance 😸 …

Jess Birken

This shop is incredible! Everybody in there works hard and is incredibly welcoming. I expected then to be elitist bike people and was pleasantly surprised with how amazing and helpful they are. I brought in two vintage bikes to have fixed up, one was a keeper the other had a bent frame but Dave worked super hard to try and find another frame we could use. In the end he helped me figure out through various test rides that I should just get a new one. I got a new Manhattan for the second bike and I couldn't be happier. Alex got me all kitted out with the accessories I needed for both and even installed them for me. I can't say enough nice things about everybody there and would strongly recommend you shop here!

Sara Smith

Recovery is a fantastic, locally-owned bike shop conveniently located in NE Minneapolis. I have referred numerous friends there to purchase bikes and parts and all of the staff, but especially Alex and Josh, are extremely helpful and patient. The team is knowledgeable and friendly, and the bike, tool and accessory departments are well-stocked. Recovery also organizes a variety of events, including open shop times to instruct and help beginners with a host of common bike maintenance how-to's. This is a great all-around shop.

Tim Sturrock

Great shop. One of the best in the country. I strongly feel that they need to sell t-shirts. Very simple classic ones with the name of the shop. I want one so bad. Can we make this happen? I would be so grateful! I’d like to add that I stopped by and someone immediately came and helped me. Great service! Here’s my suggested logo. So many easy to use logo-makers online.

Henry

Spending time in this store just feels good. Spacious, unpretentious staff, all kinds of cleverly refurbished bikes. Check the website for events, there's always an open shop or opportunity to learn by doing.

Anthony Lyndon-Racho

Excellent customer service, quick turnaround, prices are competitive w the larger chain bike shops, used them a few times now and have been very happy with their work.

Ann Reilly

I took my bike in because I was having problems with the shifting. They fixed it and my bike is working great again.

DoubleRBlaxican

As someone who doesn't know a lot about bikes I came in here expecting new bikes over $600. Instead I bought a new bike which they adjusted to my size and swapped out some parts I didn't want in the store. Great service will come again.

PaulP

Love these guys. I bought a bike there, and had it tuned up a year later. Great service, very friendly and helpful, and prices that are very good. Best bike place I've encountered in the Twin Cities.

Ben

Nice people, good prices, I wasn't completely satisfied by the quality of the work they performed, they replaced one of the lines not both like I asked and the breaks still squeaked after service but they seemed like they were in a hurry to leave so I just left.

r lase

They make me feel very welcome there. In almost every bike shop i go into i feel unwelcome. A lot women work there. They welcome questions. Reasonably priced.

Taehun Kim

I don't know much about bike. My bike is not in good condition. I bring it to store and they take care of it. loose bolt was issue, they tune up and didn't charge. THEY ARE AWESOME and reliable.

Liz Star

Recovery is a great, locally based bike shop with talented staff who work quickly and diligently. I've taken several bikes there several times, and I highly recommend them and their sister shop Recycle.

Amanda Lensing

Customer service was amazing, especially considering that I am only a casual biker and was looking for something used to meet my tight budget. I asked a ton of questions and staff were patient, kind, and genuinely helpful.

Karen Arntzen

My bicycle was destroyed from a bad accident. They managed to bring it back from the dead where other shops refused to work on it. Nice to have this place as an ace in the hole and feel like I am riding a new bike nowadays.

Unmarked Enterprises

I used to go to the Alt bike shop, another bike shop with a "punk Rock" aesthetic, until they closed. Just tried Recovery Bike Shop for the first time today. Best bike shop EVER!

Lynn Schulte

They were super nice and friendly and assessed my bike issues and fixed on the spot. I will definitely return. Made my day.

Philip R

Very knowledgeable, helpful, and nice group of people. My wife and I felt comfortable walking in as complete bike novices, and we love the refurbished bikes we brought home!

Sarah J Henning

Excellent service. I enjoy biking but I am no expert. Everyone here is incredibly helpful and I am never made to feel that my questions are ignorant. I highly recommend Recovery!

Ihunktowan Spierre

Sheila McMahon

They did a great job helping me find a good fit bike for my needs.

jean-paul derrick

Dropped off my ride yesterday, awesome friendly service, great suggestions and a fair, honest estimate, didn't push for parts that weren't needed. Haven't even picked it up yet and I'm already impressed by these folks!

Bill Horn

Super helpful staff. Down to earth. Good selection of reasonably priced used bikes and parts.

Rebecca Christensen

The people working here are super helpful! They have a cool program that allows you to "trade up" certain bikes. Great for growing teens!

Peter Keesey

I feel like this is the only bike shop I'd ever go to. No pressure on sales. Great and reasonable repair prices.

Trevor Muller-Hegel

Decent quality bikes with some rebuilds, definitely worth a look if you don't want to spend a grand on a bike!

Sherm Meirovitz

Very helpful. They take care of your needs while you stand around telling them what you would like they know just what you need and how to do it. Ask for Tom he he is the best.

Kat Pepmiller

Great service. Can't wait to get my bike back, tuned up and ready to go.

Free Flex

Very Helpful!!! they helped me repair my bike and the service was 4/5 which is great overall this place is amazing!

Helpful staff.

Philip Hunerdosse

This place is amazing, it honestly baffles me that so many chain stores have more stars than this place. So first of all what recovery isn't - don't expect to find the latest and greatest bike gear here. Recovery is a place that specializes in vintage and restoration of bikes. Honestly if you are a racer or someone who wants the latest and greatest technology, Recovery probably isn't the place to go. Also their bikes aren't DIRT cheap but they are reasonable, expect to pay $100-500 for decently restored vintage road and mountain bikes. You could maybe find something cheaper on FB marketplace but being able to browse a wide selection, talk to trusted staff and get a bike that's actually properly tuned is worth it. The parts selection and staff make this place amazing. Recycled parts, handlebars, wheels, cassette, you name it! I got a 27in alloy wheelset for $20! TWENTY DOLLARS! I haven't gone to an open shop yet but I love the concept. If you want to bike for cheap and are willing to make some sacrifices to not always have the latest and greatest technology this is absolutely the place to go.
