    Best bike shop in NOLA. Every time I have a bike issue they solve it immediately and for a price that is beyond fair. Super friendly, never condescending, if you need bike work done this is the place.

    Fixed my flat and another issue that I couldn't get Bicycle Michaels to fix properly months before. Definitely great service! My bike rides like a dream now.

    The people that work here are some of the nicest, and the service is super affordable and in my opinion the best in the city.

    Let me put it this way. I've used yelp for years and have only ever been inspired to leave a review on this place.

    Rock on Gerken's!

    The folks in the shop have always been terrific. I don't wait longer than five minutes for someone to greet me professionally, they know what they're doing, and it's a fairly priced, quick turnaround.
    Glad y'all are in the neighborhood!

    I went to this shop based on yelp reviews and man oh man. . . I think I've found THE bike shop.

    As a girl who has ridden the roads of New Orleans and has beat up a good many bikes, I have gone to a fair amount of bike shops. I went in today dubious, but they were super helpful and kind. I took it in for just a tune-up and ended up getting a new chain, kevlar tires, and a back rack. I went to a coffee shop about half a block away while I waited for just a few hours. I thought it was going to be super pricey since I had decided to treat myself/my bike, but it ended up being super affordable.

    Basically: wonderful service and reasonable prices. They are my new go-to.

    You know a place is good when it inspires you to write a yelp review.
