Jacob Messing

Nothing but a positive experience. Their staff were helpful on the phone and in person. We got 2 bike to rent for a couple of hours and it was worth every dime! The bikes were great and easy to use. We will have to come back soon to use the great bikes again!

This review is a long time coming. This summer I was working in MN and wanted to buy a road bike. A colleague recommended Tangletown Bike Shop. I called to explain what I was looking for and my mountain bike size dimensions. Right away, Nick let me know he had 2 bikes that should be perfect depending on my preference. I went to the shop and found this beautiful bike which kept me busy riding to and from work as well as riding all over the city and its trails all summer and fall. The crew at Tangletown is the absolute best. They are so helpful and friendly. It was a joy to go to the bike shop. Highly recommend to everyone!

Corey Butler

Great bike shop. We rent a bike here when we have a guest from out of town and want to go for a ride. The service has always been outstanding. Very flexible and accommodating.

Aaron Christen

Friendly, attentive, quick service, and not just from the cutest shop dog in town! They have a great selection and the prices were really fair. I really loved my old bike (which was stolen last year), but I already like this bike way better. Mike made sure it fit me properly and that I picked the features I needed most. I would highly suggest stopping in for a service, accessories, or a new bike. They really are the best bike shop in town!

Jeff King

Super knowledgeable place. Screwed up my bottom bracket threads on a project and they were able to chase new threads on the day I brought my bike in. Will definitely come back here for more (hopefully not more of my mistakes 😁). …

Piotr Butryn

Although we hadn't booked the bikes ahead they provided 2 Cannondale Quicks in less than 15 minutes including pumping them and checking if everything works. Both bikes were good quality and in great condition. We had a really nice ride.

Adam Levy

Tangletown Bike Shop is my local bike shop so I'm happy and familiar with the store. Today was even better than a normal visit as I went in with a repair "emergency" and Mike and staff took care of my issue as well as everyone else in the store. The place looks great, is very well stocked and I look forward to my next visit. Great store right in the Minneapolis metro area. To extend, I had been away for a few months and just returned to a store that is even better than it was a year or so ago. Great store!

Was on my way to a one of the cities local chain bike shops to have my brakes and or gears adjusted at a price I really couldn't afford, but couldn't afford to go without having the work done any longer. It was pretty hot out and I stopped along the way to ask directions and for a nearby gas station for a cold drink and ended up talking with this guy for a bit and mentioned the repair and how it was a bit steep in price for me and it was then that he suggested Tangletown bike shop to me! Said he had been going there for years and tell them that he sent me, just so they knew... I owe that guy. Nice people, excellent service, good communications on the cost or range of any repairs and at a rates that are much more manageable for me. Been going there four years now myself, that guy gave me the best directions I could have hoped for that day... And I recommend them 100%, same as that guy recommended them to me!!!

I took my old bike in to Tangletown and they did some basic tune-ups for a great price. When I needed a new bike, I found one here (from a well-known brand). It turned out to have a few loose parts. When I brought it in to have them fixed, the staff recognized me as soon as I walked in the door. They did the fixes for free, with no paperwork and with no questions asked. Ultimately, the bike needed a new part. They handled the warranty claim entirely on their own. When the warranty process looked like it would take too long, they took apart a new bike they had in stock to get the part for mine. This is a great small business.

Kellie Riley

Just got our kids new bikes! The service was wonderful. They answered all of our questions and got the bikes and helmets ready so they could ride right out of the shop! Thanks!

JD Wetzel

We just finished a 4 hour bike rental with Tangletown and it was great! Good bikes and close to the Minnehaha Creek greenway which can take you East to the Falls and West to the lakes. They were very helpful with places to eat at these destinations.

glad to have found this bike shop, the gal working had another customer in the shop and people constantly calling but never made me feel like I was being ignored while she helped me figure out my shifting issue. she explained stuff to bike-dumb me patiently, I love down-to-earth nice bike people! will def come back here!

Aaron Williams

Had a great experience buying a new bike here. Megan was very helpful and walked me through the whole process. Cool store, nice staff, and I look forward to returning soon.

Tara Dennis

In the past 2 months, I've been to Tangletown twice for tire issues (front & rear). What is different about Tangletown than any of the other bike shops I've been to in the Twin Cities is that whatever technician is doing the work teaches and tells you what they're doing in the moment. The work area is open to the retail area and the repair process is transparent. Tangletown is my new go-to bike shop- highly recommend.

Shaga Robinson-Spigner

Made my daughters day!!! 10/10🌟 tube replacement completed very quickly. My daughter was riding again the same day. Thank you sooooo much once again. Very happy customers …

Davis Parker

Great service, very helpful and positive vibe, sweetest shop dog. Went in for a brake replacement, looking to get back on the road quickly. No wait; they didn't have the exact same part in stock but found another that worked well and I was back riding in about 15 minutes. Prices were very reasonable. I'll be back!

Kevin Ryan

I would leave 10 stars if I could. On a cross county bike trip we had Tangletown Bike Shop check, tune, and service our two bicycles. They went beyond for us and Mike and his whole team were exceptional in every way. The bikes continue to ride exceptionally well with everything running like new. Use this shop whenever you can is my recommendation.

Alex Byrne

This is such a great bike shop. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful to riders of all levels. I bought a fat tire bike there about a year ago and had a great experience test driving and purchasing. I would recommend anyone to go here over the bigger stores because they have a great selection of bikes and accessories in a very comfortable and personal setting.

JJ

Came in the store and they had a dog in training that was jumping up on me as I was carrying a baby and the store person did nothing to assist. Never said hello or it’s ok or anything just ignored us. The dog would not leave us alone and seemed very territorial, following us around the store sniffing my leg and making me feel like it was going to jump more. Will not be back to this store.

Leslie Plesser

I have been pondering a new bike all summer long, and have visited a variety of shops testing bikes out here and there. But my visit at Tangletown was so much better than anywhere else! Not only were the staff super friendly, but they were female! They understood my needs in terms of fit and comfort, and they had several great options. I had no intention of leaving with a bike after my visit, but I ended up walking out with a new Cannondale and my ride this morning was spectacular. Fantastic staff, knowledge and service. They've won my loyalty, for sure.

Adam Gillespie

Favorite bike shop in the cities after living and cycling here for 9 years. They have reasonable prices, quick, quality, and friendly service, great selection of gear, and an awesome website.

Jody Bednar

I went to Tangletown Bike Shop for the first tome. What a great experience I had. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted but Mike took his time to help my find the perfect bike for me. He made sure that it was the correct size for me. I found my new bike shop. If you need a bike or repairs make sure you check out a locally owned bike shop. Thanks Mike and Tangletown staff Jody Bednar

Tangletown is the most helpful and friendly bike shop I have encountered. Mike, and all of the shop employees, truly love what they do and always spend time listening and talking with customers to make sure everyone gets the best advice for their needs. I have always been amazed at home many times I have heard them recommend repairs or upgrades rather than just trying to make a sale if it is a better plan for the customer. They also deliver the small town feel by greeting everyone as they walk through the door (quite a few by first name even). I never hesitate to recommend this place for to people for new purchases, repairs, rentals, or even a place to make new friends in the biking community.

Dillon Gherna

I just purchased a bike from this shop today. I had an amazing experience. I have not purchased a "real" bike in my entire life. About 10 years ago, I purchased one from Walmart and hated how I fit on it and it lacked so much comfort and stability that I got rid of it after a week. Fast forward to today when I walked in and told them I had no idea what I wanted/needed. Tangletown bikes staff was incredibly helpful and allowed me to test drive multiple bikes before I found the right fit. Once I found the fit, they also helped me install a bike rack and showed me how to hook my bike up for the first time. I really appreciate the service, knowledge, and friendliness from the team at Tangletown. I would highly recommend checking out their shop for your next bike or bike maintainence! Thanks Tangletown team!

Thomas Churchill

These guys are really fantastic - they did some pretty extensive repairs on my bike after I got nailed by a car and made it look and feel like new. They were quick, flexible, and kept me in the loop throughout the process (plus they called me with questions about my preferences as they were making the repairs). They even took pictures of the damages so I could submit them to insurance. Very friendly and good at what they do! Take your bike here.

Jeff Mittelmark

No one would mistake me for a god of bicycle maintenance, and when I brought my 14 year old hybrid into Tangletown Bike Shop it was a mess. Alex did a beautiful job of overhauling it, using used hardware where appropriate to keep the cost within my budget and making all the adjustments I had asked for. It did need an adjustment so I brought it back today and Mike, the owner, did some tweaking, and now it is like a brand new bike. This is an awesome shop with great people. I will not go anywhere else for my bike repair.

Alicia Little

I recently had a friend take apart my bike so I could custom paint it and then he put it back together. A few parts weren't perfectly put back together. Tangletown got me in right away without an appointment, fixed the problems within 15 minutes, and they were so incredibly helpful and kind the entire time. Thank you so much! I'm so grateful I didn't have to wait several weeks or be without my bike for a few days. Tangletown is the real deal!

Kelsey Walsh

Love this shop!!! Great prices, friendly and knowledgeable staff willing to help customers find the bike that's perfect for them. While there, I saw a beautiful sassy custom surly karate monkey that was beautifully put together, mechanically and aesthetically, down to the very last detail. The shop is even managed by a kickass lady mountain biker (swoon) who really knows her stuff.

Ben Ganje

These gals and guys are passionate, insightful and experts in their craft. We got a flat about half mile away biking 50th and they repaired it no sweat!

Emma Bull

The folks at Charlie's provide the best warranty service I've ever experienced. The derailleur broke on a bike I'd bought from them a month previously. I don't have a car, so I was stuck with a busted bike and no way to get it to the shop. After I explained the problem to the shop guys, I got an e-mail from Charlie himself, offering to send someone to pick the bike up. And the amazing service didn't stop there. A friend volunteered to haul the bike and me to the shop the next morning, so I didn't take Charlie and Co. up on their offer. When I arrived, Mike looked the damage over, said the best thing to do was to replace the whole derailleur...but they didn't have that model in stock. Could I wait a few days to get the bike back? I agreed and left the shop. We weren't three blocks away before I got a phone call. Mike had talked to Charlie, who'd told him to take a derailleur off one of the new bikes in stock and put it on my ride. Would 45 minutes be all right? Yes, guys, that would be all right. More than all right. You're heroes.

Jennifer H.

The guys who run this place are great! They are quick and accommodating and really know bikes. I stopped in tonight because my chain was skipping in certain gears. They quickly figured out what was going on and got it fixed up quickly on the spot. Love that they're local and close by. I moved from St Paul to Minneapolis last year, and I'll definitely be bringing my bike here now.

Tony Mills

Went to Charlie's after a 2 mile drive from ANOTHER bike shop. Was greeted at the door by Mike the manager. He was SUPER helpful. Gave me all the info I was unsure about when it came to the bikes I was looking at. The knowledge of the bikes I was looking at, was on point and very professional. On top of helping me, he was VERY VERY nice to my wife and daughter. The last 3 bike shops I went to, my girls were ignored. Mike made us feel super good that I actually bought my new bike on the spot. kudos to Mike. Charlie, you have an AWESOME manager in your employ. All nd every bike and or service we need, will be done at Charlie's.

Megan Dolezal

I found a flat on my commuter bike after work and they were able to fix it in time for me to bike home that day. Commuting life savers! I also appreciated how they explained what they were doing and why; thank you, Tangletown Bike Shop!

William Watson

Out of all the wonderful bike shops in the cities, Tangletown stands above as my clear favorite. All the staff, especially Mike, the owner, are extremely helpful and respectful. They are always able fix my obscure problems and have a tons of new and used parts, as well as a great selection of bikes. Everything you need is here.

Laurence Johnson

If I could give this shop more than five stars I would. Over the last two years I have had numerous repairs and updates done to all of my bikes (I have a few). Work has been excellent, affordable, and always done with brilliant customer service. I had previously taken bikes to some of the bigger bike shops in the twin cities for work I couldn't do myself, but i'll never go anywhere else other than Charlies again. The best LBS anywhere.

Dan Getzke

I bought a carbon fiber handle bar on Amazon not knowing anything about them. It didn't remotely fit the bike I bought it for. A friendly staff member helped put together a solution right on the spot and it worked/looked perfect. Amazing service!

David Mott

These guys are the best! I met Charlie in 2015 on a fat bike ride at Theo Wirth when I noticed he was riding a Framed fat bike like mine. When he told me he was a dealer I started going there for service, and now I bring all my bikes there. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and turn around is very fast compared to the big franchise chains. Charlie is greatly missed, but his passion lives on in the great service that Tangletown Bike Shop delivers.

Carlos Salas Okocicle

This bikeshop is amazing, they offer me a complete new bicycle, when i got puncture in my front tyre... no other outstanding service, i will find for the rest of my life. Fully in love with those guys! ;)

Gerrad Petersen

It doesn't get better than this. Knowledgeable staff who are genuinely intent on helping you, good prices, great selection... exactly what you want out of a bike shop.

Larry Thomas

Bike rental experience was fantastic! First time in the shop as visitor to area, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. They helped with selection of bikes and routes -- then hooked us up with great Cannondale Quicks that worked flawlessly. Thank you for a great experience.

Meg Comins

Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Got my bike fixed SO fast and better than ever. Great selection of locally made bike accessories too.

Andrew Atkinson

Knowledgeable staff, fair prices, fast service, quality service. Can’t ask for more.

Cassie Hougdahl

After half a winter of riding and a spring of neglect my bike needed some major love. The friendly folks at Tangletown got my bike tuned and cleaned (and didn’t shame me for the rust). Now she rides like a dream and I’m so glad I skipped the DIY route and took my bike here for a professional tune up. Thank you!

Keith Mullin

Great place to get a bike. Small shop with a knowledgeable staff. Got my Framed fat bike here. They ordered it up and assembled it and cover it with a year of service.

Henry Overzet

Charlie does more than run a bike shop, he volunteers with my MTB team, attends the races, which are usually more than an hour away by car, he told me to bring in bike because he wanted to fix it and put new rear brake pads on my bike. I brought it in and picked it up the next day, as well as trying out two fatties, and a single speed that I got as an early birthday present, which I am about to take in today, to get a quick check-up.

Abby Olson

I took my embarrassingly dirty, rusty, squeaky, well used winter bike in for some much needed TLC. I was shocked by the speed, service, and quality my bike received. It is ready to tackle on more of Mpls's never ending winter. I would definitely recommend this local bike shop.

Jessica Reinhardt

I stopped in last week to pick up an accessory piece I needed for my mounted bike rack. I wasn't sure what they were called and was explaining to the staff near the register. The gentleman in the back overheard and knew what I was looking for and brought one up for me. Great teamwork and customer service by this staff, and they'll have what you need!

Rick Keeler

I had a quick overnight in Minneapolis and wanted to get a ride in early the next morning. Charlie was extremely accommodating and hooked me up with a perfect road bike and even provided recommendations on the best trails in the city. Great guy and a great bike shop.

Mark Luedtke

Wow, my usual lbs said they would need to keep my daily commuter for 3 weeks for a broken break cable (I know I should just do it myself), but Tangletown got me in and out in less than an hour. I now have a new lbs.

Anderson tascon

Just because Natasha is one of those customer that pays the least amount of money and wants the red carpet roll out for her. Great Bike shop for all of your cycling needs!

Anne Krueger

I was impressed by this bike shop. Mike listened to what kind of bike I was looking for and found the right bike for me right away. It made finding, test riding, and purchasing a bike very easy. I highly recommend these guys.

Shad Holland

First trip to this shop and I was very impressed. It is clear they are dedicated to the cyclist since they are avid cyclists themselves. Love the unique selection of products including Sturdy Design Bags!

Nick Boland

Gem of a neighborhood bike shop. Super friendly, helpful and made my well worn bike look & feel like new. 👍🏻 …

C Lund

We rushed in a minute before closing because we were far from home and needed a tire aired up. They aired us up for free! Will definitely come back to buy my next bike!

Andrew Cureton

Mike is the man! He provided fantastic service with great energy and a great deal on the right bike for me. I couldn't be happier with my experience!

Kyle Sweet

Best little bike shop around. Mike just bought the place. He's a great owner/operator. Very fair pricing and no B.S. Go here.

Jordan Jessen

The owner, Mike, is almost always in the shop. They charge fair prices and do good work. Most importantly, they tolerate my endless, inane questions and general lack of knowledge. Great place.

David Rodgers

Bought a bike last week, I couldn't be happier with the customer service and knowledge that they provided me. I will definitely be going back and will recommend tangletown bike shop .

Stephen Hambleton

Cannot thank these guys enough. My back wheel came un-clipped from my bike when I was cycling and they fixed it for free for me. They went out of their way to be helpful and friendly.
