Bike Repairsservices

If your bike needs a miracle take it right here to this genuine Chicago institution. There’s no one better than Joe Hall, owner of Quick Release Bike Shop for repairs of all kinds.  He’s enormously knowledgeable, fair and honest. A kind of old world European atmosphere prevails. Joe has moved a few times in the over thirty years we’ve known him since he must periodically seek refuge from the rising real estate market. He moved a year or so ago to 1527 N. Ashland just south of North Av. Joe is a one man band, doing all the work personally. He carries a wide assortment of parts and accessories, and Brooks saddles from England are stocked. His customers value older bikes; many own two or three, favoring equipment that is 20 to 30 years old and still works perfectly; older French models are easily repaired here. If you’d like, Joe can find you a new bike, recommending those from the Procycle factory in Canada. Because he also takes trade-ins he has a stock of used bikes for sale. Hours: Monday through Friday noon to 7 and Saturday, 11-5. Closed Sunday. 773.871.3110.
