Incredible store with incredible staff and owner. It's been a *lot* of years since I went to the store (for a repair and parts), because I moved to another state. But googled this store in a nostalgic moment, and was glad to see such great reviews. They are completely deserved.

This place is the best! We've gone in a few times for service and every time we walked in, we we're greeted in a friendly, welcoming manner. They know what they're doing here, the owner, Alan, and the crew are extremely knowledgeable. We decided to get an additional bike, and went with the frame recommended by Alan, and it's perfect. Great bike, great prices, friendly people, we're very happy. Thanks Alan!

Brought my twelve year old bike in with shifting problems and other wear & tear. They quickly found all the issues and I was able to ride it home eight miles the next day shifting like new.

Let me start off by saying this shop is Top Notch! Great prices and great knowledge on every type of bicycles, and if they don't have the answer, they will look into it and get back to you. I've taken several of my bikes over there and they've always had taken care of me! Unfortunately for me my local bike shop, Wheel and Sprocket definitely over charges for service, which is sad, but the fortunate part is that I will always go to Glenview Cycle for any of my needs. Alan has always been kind and patent person with me on my requests on things and my latest project which I should be receiving soon and would like to give props to is one of the guys there, Isacc the Wizard of installing DI2 wiring and making sure everything works and provides opinions on what would be best for your bike. Great experience with Isacc, also pretty cool guy and chill. I had asked him to send me pics of the progress and minutes later I had got them which was pretty cool .. he also face-timed me on some of details that he thought would work best before doing anything on the bike which for me is more than above and beyond other shops would probably do for anyone. Very grateful for Glenview Cycle keep up the great work you all do there!!

Really great place. We were in town and wanted to bike around for an hour or two and the owner was fantastic in hooking us up with great bikes and providing us some helpful directions on where to go. Everyone there was friendly and helpful.

Professional-level knowledge and advice, paired with free air for your tires? This is the place. If you're looking for a warehouse of new and previously-owned bikes, then you won't find it here. But if you're looking for a LBS (Local Bike Shop) with personable employees with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things related to cycling, and who can give you a definitive answer to all your cycling questions, then this is the place to go. I got back into cycling last summer, and after suffering some high-pressure salespeople at other LBS in the area, I went to Glenview Cycle with a bit of hesitation. But after introducing myself and explaining my needs, the first thing the staff did (and it was a slow day, so ALL the staff were involved, even the one's actively working on bikes in the back workshop) was to get to know me, my story, my budget, and my cycling plans for now, in the future, and even remote possibilities. This was a change of pace for me, because in my previous experiences, it was, "Oh, you need a road bike, come look at this and this and this..." So to have them take the time to understand my goals and then have a more casual conversation about what I would NEEED, versus what they had in stock, I was really impressed. Now, part of it is because they are a smaller shop, so they don't have a lot of actual, physical bikes in store. But they do have nearly every style of bike represented, so you can sit on a few models and get a basic idea of the fit and feel for each type. They're a Giant dealer (most LBS are paired with one or two manufacturers, similar to car dealerships), so when you are getting into the buying stage, they will always recommend Giant first. But they also recognize that some people are very brand-loyal, so they will recommend some other shop if you're looking for a Trek, Cannodale, Specialized, etc. They'll even recommend bikes you can only buy through websites (like Felt) if they feel that's the best option for you. And they'll assemble any bike you buy, regardless of where you buy it from, but for anything but Giant, that assembly will be an extra charge. And once they have assembled and given you a basic fitting, that's only the beginning of the relationship. They'll take you through the ins-and-outs of your new purchase, make sure you have all the accoutrements you need (Giant forgot to provide a part for my bike, but GC provided me one from their spares collection) to get you (in some cases literally) rolling out the door. And speaking of the door, one of the nice touches is that, even though they're a small shop, they had an automatic door installed to help you wheel your bike in and out. The one downside is, as stated, they're small, so while the choice of bikes is supplemented by Giant's warehouse, the choice of things like bike kit, helmets, shoes, and other cycling-related gear is very limited. The good news is that they recognize that, so if they don't have what you need, they'll make recommendations on what you should get so that you can just find it online (or even at another LBS). All-in-all, Glenview Cycle is great for anyone of any cycling level, from kids just getting into cycling, to people looking to compete in Ironman triathlons. The staff is knowledgeable, personable, and sometimes you can find yourself going in to ask one question, but talking cycling with the staff for an hour (or maybe that's just me). They really love this sport, and you can really feel it when you interact with them. If you know what you want, or need guidance for your first purchase, this is the place to go.

Glenview Cycle 1011 Harlem Avenue Glenview, Illinois 60025 847- 998-5900 ( closed Wednesdays) Wow-- as in one does NOT get this sort of High Caliber-- / 'Treat-every -customer -As If that customer is the 'one-and-only' customer' service Alan R and All the staff at Glenview Cycle gave me this past Friday. First, they were Kind enough to keep the bike on a sort of of 'lay-away' for several months--( it was longer than they should have -- My fault-- but I had had a bad car issue; had to pay in a few installments). They also were just -- incredible in showing me the 'ins-and-outs' of the bike I purchased -- Staff Simultaneously Professional- Friendly- * Clearly knowledgeable about their art and the bikes they sell. Thank you Alan and All! ( and very much to my 'True- Blue' Friend, who came through for me for my last payment -- ) I highly recommend Glenview Cycle.
