I brought my bike in for a tire repair. The technician suggested a tuneup which included the tire repair. I was skeptical, I thought it was just salesmanship, as he pointed out adjustments that needed to be made.This was a relatively new bike, that had been assembled by another shop. Boy was I wrong. What a difference a tuneup made in riding performance. Every aspect of the riding experience is smoother faster and requires much less effort from me. That first ride after the tuneup was amazing. Metropolis you are now my go to shop for bike repair and accessories. Thanks for educating me on the finer aspects and nuances of cycling .
I kept breaking rare spokes on my e-bike. A friend of mine was similar problems referred me to Metropolis Bike shop. Ted and his team rebuilt my rear wheel better than I could ever imagine I rode 200 miles the same week with close to 400 lb of cargo and the wheel performed phenomenally. Im so pleased to say that I have my forever wheel builder. Thanks Ted
We brought our two mountain bikes in for tune ups. The staff were so helpful, explaining everything carefully. Professional and kind. It was busy, but Shane took the time to discuss options. They met and exceeded my expectations. As a queer person, I felt welcome. Thank you for careful and appropriate use of pronouns. Highly recommend!
I was biking earlier downtown and my free-wheel basically ‘blew up’. I didn’t know what happened until I got to Metropolis after searching for a local shop.Shane (sp) handled my bike so quickly that I was able to get back out and get the rest of my ride done. And there was a short qeue of customers when I came in, but he just politey handled each persons problems. Thanks guys, I’ll be back!
Incredible service, craftsmanship and knowledge about bikes. Total newbie to road biking, I took one out on a test drive while my bike was being worked on. While the bike I test drove was quite complex and totally custom, I knew I liked the comfort and the ride. They educated me and answered all of my questions (huge shoutout to Derek), and a week later, the bike was mine. As someone who is 5 tall, I always thought road biking was an inaccessible activity because the bikes you might try off-the-shelf always felt off -- but learned that Metropolis actually specializes in bikes for short riders, and even better, specializes in bikes that ride comfortably on Detroit roads. This changed my entire experience of biking - went out and rode 20+ miles two days in a row after taking it home. What a great experience. Thanks Metropolis!
Took two bikes in for service. These guys are great. Reasonable prices and didn’t try to sell me services/parts I didn’t need. Super fast turnaround. All around a great experience.
Always a great experience. Bought my bike here a year ago, brought it in for a tune up today and Shayne remembered me and reminded me that my first tune up is free because I purchased my bike there. The only bike shop I will ever go to and will recommend everyone I know to do the same.
Fixed us up good to go!
Every business should have customer service like this place. I have been going here since they opened. They go out of their way to do repairs as fast as they can most often while you wait. Cant say enough about Shane and the other workers. Also very serious about Covid restrictions which impressed me
Great customer service, and honest. Love this place!!
These guys are on point. They had me in and out in 25 minutes, super friendly, the whole shabang. 5/5
Holy mackerel! Tune up had my bike literally sparkling. Gave it that new bike smell all over again.
I was on a ride this morning and was reminded how happy I am that I found and purchased from this place. About a year ago I was looking to get into cycling and had an idea of what I wanted but needed some help. I called around and visited a few places but couldn’t find a shop that was willing to help me out above just the sticker price. Metropolis Cycles was my last stop and the staff (shorter guy can’t remember his name) walked me through all their options and was able to customize my bike to exactly what I was looking for. The bike I ended up purchasing was a little over my price point, but I am so glad I listened to his advice and made the purchase. When the weather is nice, I ride almost daily and have never had an issue outside of one flat tire. The last time I was in there they even gave me a tune up for free! I highly recommend this bike shop as in my opinion, it is the best in the city. Thanks for the personal care you’ve made a lifelong customer out of me!
My experience at Metropolis Cycles was far better than the shopping experience at any other retail store (let alone bike stores). Shaynes and the teams passion about customer service is testament to the reputation that they have built.I drove 30 minutes to Metropolis Cycles after listening to two other bike shops about 3 week turnaround time for a minor fix on my bike. I was pleasantly shocked that I was promised to get my bike back in TWO days! And I did get it back just in time for weekend ride. I took the my other bike in the second visit for another minor fix. I was able to wait for half an hour and get it back right then!I have visited scores of other stores and they truly should learn a thing or two from the awesome staff here at Metropolis. I will gladly recommend anyone in the metropolitan area to take the trouble of getting here to either shop around / get their bikes serviced.
Quick / Kind / Knowledgeable / AffordableWOW! just wow. I tried to fix the front derailleur on my bike myself and of course fudged it all up. I called them in a tizzy on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and they cooly said, bring it on in ... might be a wait but we can get you set. They even asked twice, out of concern for safety, to make sure my bike was still in rideable shape given what Id un/done.So, on this stunning, early spring, Saturday afternoon, they quickly diagnosed that whatever I was trying to adjust was not gonna help as my entire front derailleur was rusted solid --- they swapped it out, while juggling a ton of other customers, pickups, scheduled appointments, in just about an hour. Just an hour, for a walk-in derailleur swap!! I was speechless and forever grateful just for the speedy service.On top of this, everyone I encountered was so, so nice and totally accommodating -- thats not sufficient ... they were truly gracious, from the person that listened to me whine/explain on the phone, to the people I interacted with at the shop: the person who did the repair, the folks I chatted with while waiting, and Owen who helped me check out when I was done. They even apologized for the wait multiple times, which was like no time at all, given the circumstances.I love my bike, but am no expert -- so it was nice to get enough info on the new part to feel like a responsible bike maintainer. Owen shared just enough details to make sense to a relative dilettante like me ... didnt nerd out or overwhelm me, just reassured me that the replacement was in line with what was there previously, an appropriate mid-level (like my bike itself) component, and something that would work perfectly and I wouldnt really have to worry about.I would not have even asked about the part, though, if the cost had not been so low (worried, was I getting some knock-off?) -- well actually it was FN cheap!!!! New Shimano front derailleur, cable package, and labor costs were 41 bucks. What?!?!?! Emergency, Saturday afternoon service, a solid parts replacement -- all at 40$. I was and am truly stunned.This experience, every aspect of it, totally made my day!! And on top of all this, I have now found my official bike shop -- so if you are looking for a goto shop, dont hesitate at all, even if you are not so super close. They are totally worth it -- besides you have a bike, just ride over.Oh, and one more thing -- you cant tip them on their iPad register thingy, so bring a six pack of flavored sparkling water, like Bubly, when you drop by. It will be truly appreciated.
Covid quarantine has been a western time and these cowfolks have saddled up and dealt with it like professionals. Fantastic service and super cool people. Love this
Metropolis has superb products at fair prices, including a great selection of used bikes. But most importantly, the service and expertise are top gear. Shane knows his turf and quickly resolves any issues like a pro. Highly recommended for cyclists of all levels.
Thank you. This place is amazing. The owner is the kindest and most professional guy ever.Reasonable prices. Quick service.Metropolis has definitely gained a new customer and friend.
Metropolis did a Great Job on revamping my old school Huffy Bike I definitely will be back their to have more parts added to my bike soon. I love that the shop is located in Downtown Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood.
Shane did a great job refining my ride. Even took time out to show me how to change a tire. Nice to come in from the burbs drop off a bike for repairs and grab a bite.
Not only are they the most professional people out there but theyre also the most polite! Love this place! They do such an amazing job on all the bikes my family and I brought! Glad Im only 5 minutes away.. sending all my friends and family
Awesome service, very knowledgeable and reasonable priced.
Metropolis went above and beyond to help me fix an ongoing issue and resolve a problem. They delivered phenomenal customer service and effort where other shops have fallen short, and they’re my number one for all bike needs in the Detroit area.
Ive been to several bike shops but when you find one with exceptional customer service who are knowledgeable and ready to help then there is no reason to go anywhere else. thanks to the guys at Metropolis Bikes I know my bike will get the right service every time. keep up the good work
For those who love urban bike culture (and Detroit) Metropolis Cycles is a blast. Shane and his team provide highly satisfactory customer service along with well priced cycling-products. Support this local business and others!
Great service, friendly/helpful staff!
Joe and Ted helped me out big time a couple of months ago, tuning up a mountain bike that was handed down to me. They also got me set up with pedals and a new helmet as well, all for a super reasonable price. On top of that, they gave me a handful of suggestions for local places to start mountain biking at. Thanks a ton for all your help! The bike has been FANTASTIC!
Grateful to have such a top notch local bike store.
These folks are the real deal. A true core shop right in the city. They’ve got impressive turn around times and stock quality products. If you need a new bike, or need yours fixed, this is THE spot.
Excellent. Talked to owner about ordering a new Surly bike, very knowledgeable and professional. Will definitely order from them
Professional, well organized, helpful, and friendly. These guys are the best in town. If they dont have it theyll get it for you.
Ive been visiting their Corktown location so I was really excited to learn they were opening a West Village location thats closer to me.Ive dropped into the West Village location a couple times now. Same great service and within walking distance.Id highly recommend!
Hooked it up
I had metropolis build up a giant 🚲 for me, they did an awesome job and know what theyre doing!... Really friendly and quick too!
Ted helped me a great deal with suggestions on getting an older cruiser back into top form and on the road, all for a quoted, reasonable price. On time and under budget, a mega luxury these days!
The people here are great and know a ton. Super friendly and they do group rides.
Came in from out of town with a flat. They hooked it up quick and were hella friendly. Catch em if you need a fix
Great service, helpful and knowledgeable. They dont just try to up sell you - they know their stuff & take care of their customers.Tuned up my bike & installed my new bike rack. Buying moms next cool bike there. They rock!
My chain snapped off my bike on my way down to Slow Roll- I ran 2 miles to this shop as it was highly recommended by the people I was riding with. They fixed the chain in about 5 minutes and their price was very reasonable! Thanks to the great staff at Metropolis Cycles, I got to Slow Roll just as they were starting.
I needed a new wheel, Joe and Ted were able to accommodate me,fix me up in 15 minutes at a reasonable/fair price. Thank-you,Guys,Ill spread the Word and will be back.
I have used their services a few times for tune ups and repairs. Great service, fair price and stellar business hours! My preferred LBS, despite having one two blocks from the house.
The best in the city. And they are cooler people than you. They can work on racing bikes and recreational cruisers and know their stuff. Tons of experience in their employees.
One of Detroits best bike shops. Excellent service. Open every day. A little more expensive than The Hub but the extra convenience can be worth it.
Excellent service, excellent repair. Brought in my lowrider to be fixed, abs they were innovative. Will come back.
Great shop. Beautiful bikes. The mechanics know everything about all bikes not just the bikes they have in stock.
Good people, good selection of bikes and gear, a range of products for every price range
