What People Are Saying About On The Route Bicycles

The Scene – From outside, there's little to distinguish this Lakeview bike shop from a dozen others around the city, and inside the trend continues. Two walls of gleaming bikes line the front of the store, with another wall of less glamorous models further back, along with the service department and a modest selection of clothing, shoes, and accessories (though – bike-specific sunglasses are very well represented). But riders praise the service department, and the friendly staff gets high marks for its responsiveness both before and after the sale. – – The Goods…

Added space means more inventory at ON THE ROUTE

by bikegirl at Citysearch

Bought my Project One 5900 at OTR a few years ago. Last time in, I was astonished to find they added an entire storefront to serve road and tri clients. The guys tell me it will allow them to carry a deeper inventory.

This has always been one of the best shops in any city, and it's great to see them grow. Jose is a master mechanic and the guys are super helpful. I've been going there for years and would not consider another shop.

  • Pros: service, bigger inventory, easy attitudes

nice bike shop

by bazoona at Citysearch

went in with the girlfriend this weekend after reviewing shops online--this one is worthy of the reviews...jared and john helped fit us to the right bike w/ test drive. not a huge selection but solid brand names. jared even helped hook up the new bike rack...10% off anything at time of purchase and for 1 month after. overall good experience.

  • Pros: knowledgable staff, decent parking, no pressure sales

Fantastic Service

by buddha9090 at Citysearch

I just bought a road bike from On The Route and I couldn't have been happier with the service. The guys at the store never tried to up-sell me, gave me discounts on the bike without asking - when I came to pick it up, after I had already bought it, they took an hour with me to show me how to use the clipless pedals, how to change a flat, and basically went through all things I might need. Fantastic service - good selection of goods.

  • Pros: Service, Bikes, Knowledge

The Details on On The Route Bicycles

Customer Appreciation:

If you buy a whole bike, you get 10 percent off almost anything in the store for the next 30 days.

Thanks, a Lot:

If a crowded Lincoln Ave. yields no meters, the store also features that rarity of Chicago shopping, a parking lot (around back).
