Welcome to Ready to Ride Bikes

Welcome to Ready to Ride Bikes, a small neighborhood sales and service shop, serving the cycling needs of Bucktown, Wicker Park and Logan Square. Tired of commercialized bike shops trying to charge you double retail value? Then stop wasting your money and your patience. My focus is you, the customer, not the bottom line. Friendly service and quality work is the name of the game and that is what you deserve.

Victim of a Chicago pothole?

Alignment out of sync?

Brakes making more noise than a passing firetruck?

Nearing a mental breakdown with countless tedious tune ups that just won't stay true?

Don't cause more damage using household tools. Three things hold true... A butter knife is not a screwdriver, vice grips are not a universal wrench and trust me Duct Tape doesn't fix everything.

Remember, maintenance is only part of Ready to Ride Bikes. I also sell bikes, parts, equipment and accessories. If I don't have it, I can get it.

Stop dragging your feet and come over to Ready to Ride Bikes

I can't guarantee same day repair, but I can guarantee same day satisfaction.
