Theyre good guys @ 3rd Ward Bike shop. While a lovable ole cuss, Angelo taught me so much about cycling as I waited. I will be back and I highly recommend them.

Angelo owner was very knowledgeable & told me the history of my 1973 Schwinn rear hub brakes plus showed me how to straighten a wobble rim by adjusting the spokes. Totally awesome job...

Very good service and really cheap. He went over and beyond for what he was actually paid for. A very kind person as well! Would definitely recommend.

I needed a modification on my bike, and as soon as i told them what i was hoping to accomplish, they knew exactly what to do and had the parts to do it. Being a novice it was a relief to get everything i needed, done in one place, in a timely and professional manner. Theres also volunteer opportunities here where you can help a kid build their own bike and you can rent space and tools to build or modify your own.This is a great bike shop in 3rd ward.

Angelos a cool guy, smart and efficient about the way he works. Replaced my spoke, trued my wheel as well. Definitely knows what hes talking about and helped me understand what was going on with my wheel. Prices are beyond reasonable - $15 for labor (he also trued the wheel to get it straight in about 20 minutes) and $2 for the spoke. And that was for him to do it, you can come in and use the tools for a lesser fee. Anyone in the reviews saying that this place is too expensive obviously doesnt know what theyre missing out on. Will return for future repairs, or maybe to help out once in a while or learn.

This place is an absolute treasure. The owner reminded me of Gandalf-- weary with the weight of a thousand years of knowledge. Great selection of used bikes, and super helpful if you shoot straight with them.

This place is a hidden jewel. Angelo is a professor of bicycleology and Margo is a wizard of the word. Good place to hang out and listen to conversation or get schooled on the history of bikes. I see people complaining about it takes too long or prices are too high. False! Stop being lazy and come early or come with patience or dont come at all. Prices are super affordable. See for yourself. You could go to some fancy shancy bike repair shop and pay double or triple for what? You won’t get it any sooner. I see some people on here say that Angelo is rude and that is not the case. He is a straight shooter and tells you how it is with no filter no bells and whistle‘s. He cares a lot about his work and you can tell by his dedication so stop complaining! I’m glad I found this place. I have taken my bike here several times in my daughters bikes. These guys are super dedicated.

Repaired my 18 speed and gave me some pointers on how to improve reliability of my affordable bike that i simply wanted to get more use from. I appreciate their honesty when i asked if i should replace my back tire. They said i had another 200 miles left on that tire. Cool.Have already recommended this shop to family members.Worth the drive from north houston to this location.

Review №21

Highly recommended!. They went above and beyond to help me fix my bike. Even though I didnt work on the bike I learned a lot from watching them. The thing I like this most about this shop is they had different customers coming up with all different types of bikes. They didnt care about the shape the bikes were in. They treated everyones bike as if they were top dollar bikes. Very helpful and friendly. I would definitely be back

I took my warp wheel of my mountain bike. Everywhere I took it wanted to order a new wheel. I need it fixed asap. It took Leo 10 minutes to align it the old fashioned way. Loved it.

Review №23

This is by far THE slowest bike shop you can find in Houston. I arrived at 10 AM and didn’t leave until 5 PM. Mind you though my bike is 30+ years old. And that’s why I say 3rd Ward bike shop is a jewel. Full of culture, laughter, arguing and oh yeh bikes. You don’t go there just to get your bike fixed. You go there to be a part of a community. You go there to be first in line and last to leave. To have your 30+ year old bike fixed because they are the only ones in town who can do it. And they’re the only ones in town stubborn enough to hold onto a brake line no longer produced, that no one else in their right mind would keep. You come here to watch these men give every ounce of themselves to keep this place afloat. You come here to support a community. You come here when you are down and out and need $100 worth of work and you only have $20 because they’ll let you work it off. You come here when a bicycle is more than just your primary form or transportation. You come here because its where you go when you need freedom, a laugh, 50+ years of bike repair knowledge spewed at you, or hell...eventually get a bike fixed.

Angelo is Rude, impatient, provided no help, and admitted to assuming I was not knowledgeable on what I was wanting to purchase. Definitely not going back.

Older gentlemen working there was extremely rude and impatient. When I brought this to his attention, he reminded me this business was a charity organization. I gently reminded him that I was a paying customer with several other options and that I would not be returning. I dont advise anyone to shop with these people.

The prices or way to high. I was looking for a 26 front rim for a bicycle i was told for a used one would be $30

Review №31

This shop is better for riders experienced in repairing their own bikes. Just pay a small hourly fee and use the owners tools and get his advice. Do the repair yourself. If your not a hands on person I would avoid this shop.

Review №33

Great prices! Totally recommend. The owner is kind of grouchy funny. His prices and knowledge of bikes make up for his attitude after 4pm. He is more pleasant before dinner time. I totally recommend this shop. Great value for your bucks in the inner city. Not a fancy shop, but who cares of work done right.

Angelo was amazing to work with. He changed out my tires and sold me a bike rack for my garage. Who knew that you weren’t supposed to store your bike on the tires? Awesome service!!! I highly recommend this shop. Many thanks to Angelo and Anthony for your amazing service. I’m looking forward to the Third Ward Hood Ride on Wednesdays!!!

I stopped to change front tires tube. $13 dollars to buy and replace the tube, and I think its a reasonable price. The only and biggest downside is they take ONLY cash. I didnt have a cash, so I have to walk to the closest food store and withdraw some cash.

A quality mechanic and adventurer. Really fun to talk to about the world of biking. I walked away with a ton of cool bikes to look up and even a book to read. This is one satisfied visiting Portlander! 👍 My only regret is not getting a selfie with Angelo with his Santa hat... I will go back if I can!

Review №49

The old guy is very rude. My bike was assembled by someone else. He said yall people dont know how to assemble a bike trail shouldnt own one. He took it off and redid it. I didnt cook there for that. I only went there to ask him to raise my seat some. Told him I didnt assemble it done body else did. He got extremely rude from there and said he didnt care and I did it wrong. He needs to go. No one wants to give them business because of him
