    Johnny Sprockets is the BEST bike shop in Chicago. All of the folks that work there are knowledgeable and are really interested in making sure your biking needs are met.

    Johnny Sprockets are honest, reliable, reasonably priced, and the stand behind the work they do. They support the bicycling community in Chicago. The sales process is more about putting you on the right bike for you than selling what they have too much of.

    The staff here is so friendly and knowledgeable. Got a new road bike not really knowing what to get for my level of riding. They were patient in helping me find the best fit for me and made sure I left happy. Would def recommend this place for pros as well as amateurs like myself.

    I've been biking for years, but biking styles change. I walked into the shop and told Manuel exactly what I was needing. He listened and set me on a path for the greatest joy I've known. The perfect bike for my current lifestyle and now he's set up a regular weekend ride that meets my skill level and life schedule. Thanks Johnny Sprockets!
