Queens, NY
Absolutely great shop and experience. Owner went out of his way to keep repair price low. Converted 10 speed to Single Speed in one afternoon. Everyone in shop pleasant and helpful. Found local shop in Long Island City to be pretentious and indifferent to my business (no opportunity to speak to mechanic), so checked Unilocal reviews and found Kickstand right across the East River.

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I had to go back to work so they held onto my bike and I came back 2 – 3 hours later.

Absolutely great shop!!! I brought in my single gear for a yearly tune up and they had it done in 24 hours. And VERY reasonable price. They rocked it and they rolled it! Best little bike shop I have been to my whole experience of riding for 10 years in NYC. My bike is running like BUTHA. I highly recommend.

Kickstand Bicycles is the jam! If you want one of those pretentious, overpriced, self-​involved, hipster bike shops that make you feel unworthy, this is sooooo not the place for you. Owners Ben and Andrea obviously love what they do. They’re both super helpful, knowledgeable and so damn nice. Shop is small but the vibe is very chill/​very pro at the same time. And prices are so reasonable, it’s like you’ve gotta beg ‘em to spend money at the shop. As a daily bike commuter, Kickstand is my go-​to jam for regular service, gear grabs, and ride upgrades. Can’t recommend it enough.

Best place to rent a bike in NYC. Only good road bikes I’ve found available for rent and at a relatively cheap price as well. Super nice owners, too! Highly recommend everything about this place, especially if you’re looking to rent a good bike.

Wow, this place restored my faith in customer service. They’re brilliant at what they do and they are the nicest, most helpful people. I went there to replace my Uppababy g-​lux wheels on my stroller. Even though this isn’t their standard service, he still took the time to figure out how to do it. My husband couldn’t figure it out nor our building super. Uppababy doesn’t have a repair place in NYC, so I was SO grateful.
They even tightened all the screw on the stroller so it was much easier to push. It feels brand new again! If they can do that with a stroller, imagine what they can do with a bicycle.
I looked around the store while I waited and they have terrific bicycles and an air pump to fill your tires. LOVE this place.

This would be a great shop anywhere in NYC, but in East Midtown it is an absolute godsend. Ben, the owner, is always around, and he has been taking good care of me and my bike for years. The staff is great, too. Fair prices, and they are knowledgeable and friendly to boot!

One of the best bike shop in NYC, hidden gem hole in wall. Convenient location right near queensboro bridge.
The fair, honest owners have earned my loyal business many times over.

I recently bought a bike from them and after forgetting to pump my tires, got two pressure related flat tires at the same time (totally my fault). I left the bike locked up outside their shop overnight, and when i called to let them know the next afternoon they had already fixed both tires before I even asked! They didn’t even charge me for service I had bought the bike there.
Great people, great service, great bike shop

The man working on my bike figured out what caused my tire to pop which happened to be my ineffective breaks oddly, he then adjusted my breaks for free.
Great service, good prices.

Went here out of necessity for a Kryptonite bike lock. I had just caught a guy trying to steal my bike on Fifth Ave and he was almost done breaking up the lock that I had. I’m glad I came here as opposed to the other Bike shops in the area. I was looking for an independent shop with fair prices and this place fit the criteria. I received excellent customer service from a very personable woman there. I liked that she came out from behind the counter to engage with me. I’d recommend this place for any of your biking needs.

Definitely recommend. Ben, Andrea and staff are super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and repair your bike very quickly. It’s a pleasure stopping by their shop, and you can tell customers and the local community adore them.

Tiny bike shop — but what they lack in size, they certainly make up for in customer service.
My BF gets free maintenance elsewhere, but brings his bike here because of the convenience of location and trustworthy service. There have been times when the owners have not even charged him/​accepted tips! And they always carefully walk him through the issues/​the work they did, despite having several customers waiting out the door (literally) — toldja, it’s small :).
In an industry where it’s easy to get duped by very car salesy bike shops/​mechanics that add a cost here and there, it’s refreshing to know honest shops exist like Kickstand.

Friendly place, convenient location, and they charged me for 1 hour even though I took out the bike for an hour and a half. Good people!

I brought my city bike here to find a rack for transporting my cargo and as the other reviewers suggest was very pleased with the amicable, laid back staff who are enthusiastic without being bike snobs. They sold me a very reasonably priced rack and installed it for a minor fee despite being very busy with their other customers. I really like the no frills, friendly service here and wish them the best of luck in their business.

This is, hands down, the best shop I have found. Not only are they extremely friendly but all repairs are done quickly, professionally, expertly and for very reasonable price.
I was recently hit by a reckless taxi; after finishing with the police (which assigned 100% of the blame to the taxi) I meekly walked my broken bike to Kickstand Bicycles.
It was 5 minutes to closing time but they immediately got to work and they would have stayed open later just for me in order to finish the repairs on the bike and allow me to bike home. I was too shaken to bike again that night, but what an effort!
You cannot go wrong using them.

Small, but mighty bike shop.
Not at all the biggest bike shop in town, but perhaps among the friendliest. Stopped by on a rainy day for some lube and a small bike part. Despite being near closing time, they took the time to fit the appropriate part and did the (admittedly simple) installation.
Small selection of new and used bikes, as well as clothing. Free air (I think?) and work stand out front.
