Very cool place especially if you are willing to look through bins for something that you’re missing for your bike. Many recycled items - you could basically build a bike from scratch. You can buy some second hand things for cheap - just be nice and ask someone there about it. They are very nice and helpful. They have some biking books too and some couches to sit and read, and I saw they do some classes/workshops. Will return soon!

I always feel so welcome here. Everybody truly has love and passion for bicycles. Best place for a cheap fix or an ambitious build. ♡

Thanks for the help ! These guys are a free for donations bike coop ?. There is spots you can come work on your bike and get real time advise from the great bike experts all-day will and help you if you have a problem. The shop is very cool and has is akami in my book!

They had two perfect bikes for my younger boys. they fixed em up and ready to roll. i picked up some stuff for my mountain bike as well. if you ask me, this place is the quintessential bike shop. tons of parts, smells like rubber and grease and prices are based mostly on donation....which actually makes me want to spend more because its all to a good cause. wont go anywhere else.

Very friendly staff and extremely helpful. I needed a replacement of my front wheel after I got in an accident and they were very accommodating in finding me a replacement and helping me install it. They have used bike parts and even sell bikes. Would go again with other bike problems and parts!

Eli is a super knowledgeable mechanic and as far as bike part thrift shopping goes you wont find fairer prices or better selection. If you need a tune up or are in the market for spare parts (or if you have any around that you want to donate), go to Freewheel.

A superior experience and a wonderful find! The store has a lot of cool novelty bikes and a variety of parts on display. My family and I came here today to rent bikes to ride on the Hawthorne bike trail just up the road. The store has a laid-back vibe and the owner was beyond gracious with loaning us bikes from his bike library. I will recommend this place to everyone and will be back again. Thank you!

This is a very cool bike shop. The guy that owns it sold me a great bike at a great price and actually modified it for me free of charge. He provides underprivileged kids with bicycles and teaches students valuable business/mechanical skills with hands-on bicycle building/maintenance experience. Hes also got a cool dog.

Cool place. Definitely a passion project by the owner. Havent gotten a bike there yet but I will before too long. Good place to go for info if you work on your own bike.

The Freewheel project is an awesome place. Work on your own bike, shop around for their used parts, get your bike serviced by them, give back to the community, or go on group ride.Their bike membership is a gem, $50 bucks and you get access to the bike library, the working stands, and the knowledge from some of the coolest bike people in town.

Excellent service, friendly staff! I took my bike to The Freewheel Project because my wife works next door to them and I wanted to be able to catch a ride home with her. They fixed my bike in about ten minutes (new bearings for the front tire), let me pick out a new-used bicycle seat, and only charged me $10! I highly recommend them to anyone.

Awesome place to work on your bike and make new friends. Great location, awesome products, and the greatest and most helpful staff around. This shop is a great addition to the community, and will hopefully be a part of it for a very long time to come.

Freewheel Project is why I love Gainesville. A coop shop where kids work on their own bikes. Bought a replacement tube for dollars less than Amazon. Also had great reconditioned racing and street bikes for sale.

What a fantastic place to buy or rent a bike or get your bike fixed. Become a member and learn how to fix your own. Or volunteer on Saturday mornings to work on bikes for kids and vets (theyll teach you). Ryan has created a great place for people at all levels of cycling.

Difficult to find, but the service was good. The gentleman I spoke to on my visit had a lot of great tips on choosing a bike, but the selection itself left a lot to be desired for a casual user. Thats not to say this place isnt AWESOME, especially given that they are a non-profit and give bikes to kids, just not necessarily the best option for shopping and browsing for bicycles.

One of the best well equipped bike workshop in the town for hands on training. Would recommend to anyone who wants to do community service. They got plenty of cool offers for members!

Awesome shop! I love going there and tooling around.

I love this place. I voulenter here a lot. The people who work here are amazing people. If you need a bike or your bike worked on this is the place to go.

Great idea in a very cool space. The optional membership is affordable and gets me access to lots of tools that Id rather not manage at my house. Sliding scale repairs done by competent staff.

Needed to get some new bike pedals and I found their service was quick and professional.

Great place to work on your bike or pick up affordable used parts and gear.

Excellent staff, friendly and knowledgable. Great place to find used, hard to find and vintage parts.

The owner is a great guy with lots of experience who is willing to work with you and help you with anything. The young lady who works there could be a little friendlier, but shes not too bad.

Great service and nice bikes. Very helpful and will do whatever they can to make sure you get the best bike

Dudes a real homie and I owe him one.

Everything abut this place is right. Become a member and borrow bikes, learn to fix youre own bike. Very friendly staff and always so helpful.

Very good place to buy bike parts. And they give classes on how to rebuild your bike. Ask them for more information.

Great group of people.

I volunteered here today and plan to ever Saturday I can. Great people, great mission.

Sad to hear they are closing, bought two used bikes from there, and they are both great.

My sons bike was stolen and they helped replace it. Words cant exspress how happy they made him. Thank you truely from the bottom of my heart. Im hoping to get him in on Saturdays to learn how to fix bikes and pass on the love.

Local nonprofit bike collective that is always giving back to the cycling community. Prices are very reasonable and the hands on experience you gain cant be bought

I bought a used Gary Fisher mountain bike there..great price and friendly service. The shop provides a great service to Gainesville!

Really awesome place! Very nostalgic and the people are great and helpful.

The guys there are friendly and have lots of used parts. They are also a Bikes 4 Vets helper. So Please go by and patron their store. Opens at 1300 hours. Their late sleepers...lol

These guys are awesome! If you love biking, you will love their service.

Awesome place to learn bike mechanics and fix your ride on a jiff.

Disappointed with the prices on the bikes. Some bikes where very sub-par but were still priced @ over 170$. you could find cheaper, newer, and in better condition bikes at regular bike stores. now, theres nothing wrong with this PER SE, but the message of this store is that it is helping the community. when in reality, I cant imagine how these prices are helping anyone in the community. the message does not match the prices! in other words, their message is just a marketing gimmick. go buy a bike at gatorcycle or some other mom n pop. theres a couple in gainesville.

Their staff is great its the owner that is always late and claims to be Veteran friendly but it isnt. Juke for bikes

Sorry to see this business close!

Theyre doing great things for Gainesvilles community! Awesome place for repairs or to buy a bike!

An amazing resource for the Gainesville community. Support this place!

Great service! 🚴‍♂️

Fixed my bike for a fraction of what I’d been told it would cost elsewhere.

Just dont go here

Friendly staff. Helped me fix wifes new three wheeler.

Simply awesome.

I came in and asked some questions and the guy just gave me a sarcastic look the whole time i was trying to remember what i needed but the look he just kept giving me and the agitated answers threw me off so bad i forgot what i was really there for so i just left.....what a looser

Pretty cool

Anything you need.
