Yelp.com Review - by Leo L.

2.0 of 5 stars. A waste of time, except for the truly great people watching opportunity that standing in this line is. If I want a cheap bike, I go to Target and buy one of the barely used, returned bikes that they…

Yelp.com Review - by Paige W.

2.0 of 5 stars. This morning, I ventured far outside my comfort zone. South. Of. Downtown. That is a big deal. Especially considering I drank my weight in vodka at Blue Stem last night, but even in general? I just…

4.0 of 5 stars. I got my bicycle here and I LOVE HIM. His name is Damien and I've had him for over a year. He's my baby, cost me next to nothing (I've been told my frame is worth more than what I paid for the whole…

Yelp.com Review - by Krystle G.

4.0 of 5 stars. The staff here do a really great job, no matter what people say about "hipsterism." They were chatty, friendly and helpful. Not just about bikes, but with purchasing a lock or helmet. It does help to…

Yelp.com Review - by Matt C.

3.0 of 5 stars. Part picking the warehouse is a good way to kill a day as well as a source of amusement. Avoid conversation with most if you wish to retain sanity. Volunteers have tried hard-selling me awkwardly…

Yelp.com Review - by Robin W.

5.0 of 5 stars. A fantastic group of people who fix used bikes and sell em cheap (from $40-100) to support bike transport! Get there right before they open at noon on one of the three days of the week, and test a bike…

5.0 of 5 stars. Went to the storefront with a friend of mine to purchase two bicycles we had pictured in our heads. For me, the bicycle I had in college... a black three-speed Sears bicycle made in England. For…

Yelp.com Review - by Paulie L.

2.0 of 5 stars. Working Bikes has about 75-100 cheap, used bikes in the storefront on any given day, and they all work just fine. Given that the store is only open three days a week, get there early (11:45) because…

Yelp.com Review - by Nathan S.

4.0 of 5 stars. Every hipster I know loves this place, so I assumed I would not. However, the volunteers were friendly, bearded (cool!), and helpful. I walked out with a bitchin' 70s Raleigh Sprite ladies bike. This…

Yelp.com Review - by Robin W.

4.0 of 5 stars. Pretty good deal! I got a sweet bike for $80 plus tax. I went on a Sunday around 2 pm, and there were slim pickings, but someone had just donated a pretty new Schwinn 15 speed in excellent condition.…

5.0 of 5 stars. I hate when this happens but...my husband was right about this place. Whew...there I said it and now I can move on. Went here this past Sunday to look at bikes and I walked out with a sweet Schwinn for…

Yelp.com Review - by Brian H.

5.0 of 5 stars. Being the perpetual cheapskate and socially-concious fella that I am, this was my first and only stop for a bike to cruise around town on. Get here early, there was a line about 50 deep at 11:45am on…

Yelp.com Review - by Erin J.

5.0 of 5 stars. My Ladyfriend got her bike from Working Bikes. She asked me to go with her since I ride my bike a lot. I really liked it there, but I have heard some bad things about them from others, who just didn't…

5.0 of 5 stars. I got a really nice Trek mountain bike there for 60 $. They fixed the bike perfect (new breaks aso). I am really happy with it and I didn't have any problems until now (2 months)

Yelp.com Review - by Sharlene K.

5.0 of 5 stars. I don't how anyone would walk a mile to this place since it's only a quarter-mile in each direction from the blue Forest Park or Cermak lines. If you don't know anything about bikes, I suggest…

4.0 of 5 stars. I've bought a bike ever summer for the past 4 summers, only to have it stolen close to the end of august. They've all been great bikes, for the time i've had them. The one i currently have, i've had…

Yelp.com Review - by Jami K.

4.0 of 5 stars. I suppose that this this place is pretty hit and miss judging from the other other review, but it was definitely a hit for me. After I first moved to Chicago, I was missing my bike. I had looked on…

Yelp.com Review - by Tony C.

2.0 of 5 stars. I support these folks in principle, but man, I've NEVER been able to find a decent steed here. If there's anything interesting (a bridgestone or a gitane, etc.), it's grossly overpriced. Again, the…

Yelp.com Review - by blake d.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is a mixed bag. First, the storefront sells used bikes at decent prices, but it gets mobbed, and anything good is gone fast. the warehouse is the saving grace of this place, that is if…

5.0 of 5 stars. At the end of my proverbial tether, I went to Working Bikes to try and see if they had anything. I found a glorious red schwinn sprint that fit me perfectly, and the prices are perfect for the…
