A rocky start-up until I discovered that the owner had suffered major health problems. I got my bike before the holiday which was important to me, I discovered the rear brake was rubbing against the wheel on the test drive. When I called on Tuesday, they came to the house, Tuesday evening to make the adjustment. Great service, Very happy, thanks!

I love shopping local. I brought my bike in for a tune up. The quoted price was $ 90 and it was to be ready in a week. It took two weeks and the bill was $ 100. There was no call to let me know when the bike was going to be ready or to tell me that the price was going to be higher than originally quoted. Overall I was disappointed. For me shopping local means better service and more personal attention. That just didn’t happen in this case.

Stopped at this shop during a ride. Definitely a small shop but it has character and the service was outstanding.

Thomas S review really says it all. Great shop with fantastic service and definitely one of the best mechanics in the Chicago land area. The only other thing I would add is that the shop is affiliated with a great cycle club The owner Nick and Nate ride with the club. The club is geared for all levels and they have different rides going out several days and Thursday evenings every week all year round.

Great shop! Always love well-run local shops, and Activator Cycles fits the bill. Located in central Lake Bluff, it’s a great neighborhood feel with knowledgeable staff and good selection considering it’s a small shop. Whatever they don’t have, they can get. They also have a good spectrum of models and accessories, from entry level to competitive. I picked up a Nirve Robert August beach cruiser that I’m going to customize with their help. Price was reasonable(even when compared to online discount dealers), and I prefer the service and supporting local businesses. Nick is one of the owners who helped me out — easygoing, very knowledgeable. Same applies to Nate, one of their cycle gurus. Great shop! Thanks guys!
