Nils Paellmann

Great bike store in the Marigny. I love my Fairdale bike which I bought there. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

C. Patrick Gendusa

This place is AWESOME!!!! Lovely staff and always friendly/happy to help. Extremely reasonable and you never feel taken advantage of. Excellent service! Highly recommend!!!

Jennifer goosman

Great place if you are in town and want to rent bikes! Super helpful and even called me back after they missed my call! Highly recommend..

Glenn Browne

I trust this staff totally with my bike repairs. Staff has great personality. I will, as well as my family, and friends have all of our bike repairs done at this amazing store. Again, thank you Alex and your staff.

paul Kidder

Rented a bike from Alex's. The only way to really see New Orleans. Friendly service and affordable. Single speed bikes only.

Stacie Hupp

Great service. Alex put two new tires on which I bought from the shop. The difference is like night and day. He also adjusted my brakes and a few other parts. He was very communicative about what he was doing before he did it and didn't try to upsell me. He recommended tires that were about half the price of the ones I was going to buy and they ride like a dream. I'll definitely return for any future bike needs.

Paul Norwood

We were touring and needed bike boxing services. They were fast, friendly, and did an incredible job. Lots of padding, and zip tied the derailleur to the frame, etc, etc.

I have been to ALL the bike stores in New Orleans and when Alex's opened a few years back, Alex was there and he and his staff were REMARKABLY and refreshingly different from the rest. He was sooooo helpful, patient, and had all the time in the world to answer my questions. I just went back this week, and Malcolm was equally lovely, patient and just an absolute joy to work with. By far my favorite bike shop in New Orleans. Thanks, y'all!

Steve Replogle

Friendly service, affordable rates, helpful riding tips... and, most of all, good bikes. Alex did right by us, and thanks to him we had a wonderful afternoon cycling around the city. We’re going to be sure to go back to him very soon. Bonus: his shop is just a really cool place, fun to walk around in, with (of course) lots of interesting bike-related objects to look at (and sometimes puzzle over).

Chelsea Cox

Alex was able to set my group of 11 up with rental bikes for a full day! We got there shortly after the shop opened and were out the door in no time! The bikes got us around the city with no issues at all! I think we impressed him with our 14+ miles in one day with that large of a group. Alex's prices were great, and he was very personable. It was super easy to communicate via email and if we are ever back in NOLA we'll be sure to rent bikes again! We highly suggest taking the bikes on the pedestrian ferry over to Algier's as there is a really nice bike bath that goes along the Mississippi for miles! Thanks Alex!

Randy Greenberg

Great Experience!! Alex is very friendly, easy to work with, responsible and very, very thorough. I brought my bike to Alex to be boxed and shipped back home after finishing a bike tour. Alex took full responsibility for both packing (I was astonished at how conscientiously and carefully he packed my bike) and shipping the bike. Alex's Bikes far exceeded my expectations and I can not recommend them strongly enough for all your cycling needs. Thank you

James Evert

These guys are great. My partner bought an awesome Fairdale bike here and they fixed up an issue on my front brakes. Quick, fair prices, awesome service, and good people. They also rent bikes if you’re visiting or have guests visiting!

Michael Oilar

Awesome bike shop where you can trust that you'll be treated fairly and with appreciation. Alex got me up and running on a new bike within a couple hours after my bike was stolen - with good prices and lots of personal service thrown in for no extra charge. Highly recommended.

Benjamin Krikava

We spent the week in New Orleans, and we rented bikes from Alex twice to do some touring of mid-city and the garden district. Alex was the best. Incredibly friendly and helpful. I love how laid back he was, I could have spent the day talking with him. His prices were the lowest that I could find for full-day rentals ($20 for 8 hours!! Can't beat that) and the quality of the bikes were amazing, they looked brand new and they were well serviced. I would highly recommend his shop, just a 5 minute walk from where we were staying in Marigny, right outside the French Quarter. Alex, if you're ever up in the Minneapolis area look me up and we can put some of those fat bikes in the snow, show you what biking is about in the north!

Jason Tyler

Alex's Bikes are as good as it gets. We rented 6 bikes from Alex for a couple of days at a time over the course of a week. The bikes were in good condition and he fitted them for everyone in the party. His prices were competitive and he took time to talk to us about what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. His suggestions were spot on. Best of all, Alex is a super nice guy and you know he's going to take care of you. He really helped us out on our last day in town. We stumbled in as tourists looking for a bike rental and left as friends. I'll be renting from Alex the next time we're in town and I would heartily recommend Alex, his shop and his bikes to anyone looking for a bike rental!

Roger Steinbrink

Great guy. Very helpful, and good vibes. Thank you Alex for being such a great asset to this community. You've touched many people's lives in a positive way. Go hug yourself. You deserve it!

John Crowley

I went in a few weeks ago before biking to my boxing gym, and Alex was so helpful, with awesome vibes and a personable way of showing me what was wrong with my bike and how to maintain it on my own. My bike hit a nail on the bike home from the gym, and i walked it back to Alex's and he was there for me to help walk me through the root of my problem with flats. This guy is the real deal, a good businessperson, and a helpful person in the community. A+ man

Jacqui Nelson

Just brought my bike in for some minor repairs on my brakes. Alex stayed after hours to make sure everything was aligned perfectly. The service here was amazing. I'm excited they're in my neighborhood and will definitely go back to them for all of my bike maintenance, repair and rental needs.

W. Christopher Hammond

I went in today to see about a bike and the salesman was fantastic. I told him I hadn't ridden in a while so he gave me some bike riding education which I definitely needed. He helped me pick out a great bike and I am on my way!

Ryan Williams

Great people, knowledgeable and fast. Most recently they fixed a bent brake caliper for me, replaced my brake pads, tuned up my brakes, filled the tires and even gave me new valve stem caps, in about ten minutes for under $20. Highly recommended if you're in the neighborhood and need anything.

EVOLVE DESIGN

SWEET! Alex's Bikes was a great experience. Just left there for a simple inner tube repair and Alex checked other issues without trying to up-sell! GREAT GUY! Nice place. Great Service...

Zachary Beardman

Can't say enough about how cool this little shop is, the bikes are great, awesome prices and Alex is a top guy! Would recommend anyone staying in New Orleans swing by this place for a chat and to pick up a bike to go exploring the city with. New Orleans was incredibly bike friendly and we saw a lot more of the city than we would have without these trusty steads.

Rachel

We rented bikes for our week long stay in New Orleans and can't say enough great things about Alex's Bikes! Alex is such a friendly guy, and the bikes are great. At a great price, we loved having the freedom and ease of the bikes all week - saw a lot of the city that we wouldn't have seen otherwise! Get your bikes here!

Nicole McFeely

Absolutely fantastic shop. Knowledgeable, down to earth, and super helpful staff. I went in with a bike I wasn’t sure I’d be able to make work for me but was gifted after mine was stolen, and they totally hooked it up for me. Fantastic work! Bike rides like a DREAM. Thanks, you guys! You slay it <3

Joe M

We rented bicycles here, and were very happy with bikes and with the friendly service at Alex's!

Teresa Ross

Had a great experience getting a bike I bought off offer up up to speed. Alex is a super positive person, exceptional listener and bike mechanic. Prices cannot be beat...

Allan Smith

Great shop! Quickly and cheerfully replaced the tube and tire on my bike while chatting with my dad and me. Made my dad feel important on his 85th birthday. People that work here give outstanding customer service and care about their customers and their work.

william fenimore

We had a great experience, Alex was great, his bikes were city bikes, single speed and coaster brakes (complete with helmets and locks.) It was easy and fun to see things, hop off the bikes, lock'm up and then jump back on and go to the next stop. Great way to see New Orleans, no guided tour needed. We got the bikes at 11:00 dropped them off at 5:30 and the price was $20/bike.

Brad Clime

Simply put, give Alex's Bikes all of your business! Don't waste your time trying other places out when this comfy shop will take great care of you. The customer service, quality of work, communication, transparent billing and willingness to answer any questions you have makes this shop the only place worth visiting!

Lucas Rifkin

We live nearby and met the owner, Alex, Who is both friendly and personable. This appears to be a very nice local bike shop which does repairs, sales, and rentals. They did a good job setting up and seem to know their stuff.

Liz Phillips

Alex was super nice and helpful, generous with route tips and not too rigid about time. We had a lovely ride up to City Park and then back via Parkway Bakery, the Lafitte Greenway, and Louis Armstrong Park on solid, comfy bikes.

Erin Murphy

Taylor was very helpful fixing my flat. He replaced the tube for me, but after I left it went flat again, turns out there was a tiny sliver of glass in the tire. Thankfully I went back and he fixed it again lickity split free of charge! Very quick and friendly service!

Andrew Brasher

The staff is friendly and knowledgable. Unlike some other bike shops Ive been to - they don't treat you like crap because you arent a bike mechanic yourself. Alex was there when I went and he's got a pretty nice mohawk-its lit!

ZMSF

Alex was super friendly and helpful- we came to rent bikes and we were out on the road within 20 minutes. Great prices and easy to use bikes. We would come back here again!

Joseph Duplessis

Awesome custom service! He took care of the issue I had with my new bike wheels, and took the time to show me how to fix it myself. I highly recommend this bike shop. Thank you again Alex!!!

Elizabeth Bush

Alex's has never let me down! They are knowledgeable, affordable and personable. I can't recommend them enough for your bike needs.

Chaseton Goodman

Super friendly, very knowledgeable, and gave me great help when asking lots of questions! I will be back for all my bike needs!

Elizabeth Jaeger

We rented bicycles from Alex and couldn't have been happier. He even stayed late so we could rent them before they closed on Monday. A kind and generous man. Highly recommend

Corey Cleland

I've been to a few bike shops now looking to purchase a used bike, everyone seemed grumpy or judgmental. While Alex doesn't currently sell used bikes, he was very kind and helpful and pointed me in a good direction.

Scream Queen

The only bike shop I’ll go to! Amazing staff, and affordable prices. Never had a bad experience.

sheri newsome

Alex fixed the derailer on my boyfriend's bike like an expert pit crew team leader. Alex is a premier bike shop owner with expert knowledge of repair and recomendations of potential bike purchases. Thank you Alex...sheri and danny.....oh and we will see you tuesday July 9 at 10 am for another repaie.

tim wilson

Alex was very helpful. He answered all of my newbie questions without making me feel silly for not knowing. Along with that he did not try to upsell me on what I needed. I would highly recommend Alex's bike shop to anyone.

Eeshaan Asaikar

This is a nice place to rent a bike for a day/overnight. The shop owner, Alex, is very friendly and had some great advice on places to visit in NOLA. Overall, awesome experience!
