I left a crude review, I used to be a bit off. This shop has been nothing but good to me and the neighborhood. Sure, something's they don't work on. That's not on them. They work on bicycles, their speciality is bicycles. They will get you on a great one or make sure yours is riding great. 5 star shop read more

On Your Left Cycles is such a great bike shop! B mountain bikes, so he frequents this shop, both for purchases and bike repairs. I have visited to purchase gifts for him, and my transactions have always been quick and easy. The staff is friendly and happy to answer questions. Speaking as someone who is not well-versed in bikes, I have never had an issue with ordering items, picking them up, or shopping in the store. If you're in the market for a bike, accessories, tools, or repairs, I think On Your Left is the best place for it all! read more

Couldn't be happier with my experience! First time visitor. I had a couple of used bikes that needed new tires and to be cleaned up. The guys got right to me fixed me right up and for a very reasonable rate. It truly felt like they cared and wanted to give me a high quality customer experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a bike repaired! read more

I have occasionally visited this shop over about last 8 years, buying various items & a bike for my son. Meanwhile I had also frequented another bike shop about a mile away, where I bought my own bike & had it serviced until now. I simply lost patience, trust and $$$ so decided to try OYLC for servicing my bike. Excellent move : they diagnosed the issue where the others had just said it was bad luck, denying there was any underlying problem. Good advice provided too. They have multiple service technicians: fantastic quality of service - especially as this is amidst COVID drama. read more

I brought my old Schwinn Caliente in this week for some new tubes and a brake adjustment and these guys were great! Picked up a new pump and a light as well, and everything was very affordable. Awesome customer service and a great store all around. read more

Stopped here for look see tour. Nice store and Drew is helping me and showing new things for consideration. May stop here later and test some of those ideas. read more

Awesome shop, super helpful, knowledgeable. There's a lot of shops that make you feel dumb for asking questions, this is not one of those shops. Definitely recommend. read more

I wanted to say thank you to all the fine folks at On Your Left. I brought my 1992 bike in for some love and I am happy to report the old girl is riding like new! Special shout out's to Zack and I think Chris. Both very knowledgeable. Anyone looking for a great bike shop, you've found it here. Ben Curl ~ Badass Univega guy. read more

I checked this place out because it was close to my apartment and now I feel super lucky because this is a great local bike shop! Derek is very friendly and knowledgeable and the mechanics are very skilled. I have had nothing but superb experiences at this shop and highly recommend it! read more

I bought my bike here and brought in my wife's bike which we bought used. They were super nice and worked with us to do the things we wanted. I always enjoy going! read more

Best bike shop in lou for advice, repairs and purchasing custom bikes. Never over sold, they keep their word and are excellent mechanics. Trust this place. I have for 15 years. read more

Best bike shop in town in my opinion. They have a lot of what you need and if not they will help you get anything and do everything possible to make it super convenient for you. They also support local trails and are very knowledgeable about them. It's an all around great bike shop. I often travel to mountain bike and always love to stop in the local bike shops and there is always that one shop where they tell you what trails are the best and truly try to help you get the most out of your trip and this would be that one for me read more

Best bike shop in town. I have bought bikes for myself and my daughter here as well as accessories. The guys are knowledgeable and nice. I wouldn't have my bike serviced anywhere else. read more

The best!!!! Derek and Drew are great. Worked with me beyond reason to help me get my dream mountain bike and get me out riding the trails. They ordered it and expertly built my bike in record time. Great mechanics and incredibly helpful. Best bike shop in Louisville in my opinion!!! read more

I took my MTB to fix a flat. I read great reviews about this place but it was very disappointing for me. It took around 20 min. or so to fix the flat, a guy came out and said it's ready, told me it needed headset adjustment and asked if I wanted. I said ye sure, he said it's $10 btw. Took him about 10 seconds to tighten the headset with a wrench. I asked if my bike needed a tune up since I just got the bike used a few weeks ago. He said there's a 2 week wait. Now, I don't mind paying for good work, especially to support a local business. It just seemed like he was in a hurry and didn't really want to bother with anything else. Perhaps I had the wrong impression from reading all the nice reviews that I would get more helpful tips and what not from the bike shop since I just started riding. Maybe because I didn't purchase the bike there? I don't know but I don't think I would return either to purchase or for any other repairs. read more

These guys are top notch all the way. All the top bikes and cycling gear without the stuck-up attitude. Whether you want to buy some new gear, parts, or just want to hang out and talk bikes, this is the shop for you. read more

On Your Left Cycles - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

See all

This is my go-to bike shop in Louisville for repairs and gear. They are very knowledgeable and honest. The owners are very active in the local cycling community. read more

I think this is the best way to describe this shop: On Your Left Cycles is to bike shops as Championship Vinyl (from the movie High Fidelity) is to record stores. Basically, the mechanic is generally very good, but I have had some rather poor interactions with the shop owner who has been pretty curt and/or condescending. read more

I've recently had a wheel built for my recumbent trike as well as other work performed on my Catrike Road by them. The work has always been professionally completed at a reasonable price. Definitely give them a try because of these reasons and the fact they are not afraid to work on something less common. I'll continue to have them work on my bikes and trikes. read more

Top notch service since day one! The new location is great! Quick turnaround on repairs, friendly and knowledgeable staff/owners that really love to ride. Truly an asset to the cycling community in Louisville. read more

My neighborhood bike shop rules! Drew and Derek know their shit. Often there are vanilla workshop bikes or firefly bikes hanging from their repair stands. They are quick with the fixes and sell high end parts^_^ great bike shop with proper knowledge. Maybe one day my dreams will come true and the campy record 80th edition under their shop windows could be mine:)) but really The shop to hang, bike chat, or get that damn rd in line. read more

There are quite a few good bike shops and mechanics in Louisville, but Drew and his crew are second to NONE! They have expanded in recent months to offer an even more extensive selection of off-road, hybrid, and road bikes. They also have great accessories for affordable prices. Not to mention, Drew went out of his way for my partner who was looking for new wheels. Drew took the time to do research on wheels with her and when they couldn't find wheels that met her specifications -- HE BUILT THEM! Now she has custom wheels at a fraction of the cost. Thanks On Your Left Cycles! read more

I have always had fantastic service and customer service here. If they do not have a part in stock they can generally get it within a couple of days. I have and would recommend them to anyone. read more

This bike shop tries to up sell to the point of ridiculous, which is why I won't bring my bike in for service there. Not a big deal but annoying. I did go in yesterday to buy a simple tube, they again tried to upsell based on a $10 minimum card limit. Again not a big deal, but I didn't need anything else so just decided to leave. As I was walking out the owner took the tube and threw it at the door at me as "Fu$k you very much" on his part for not buying there. I been in hundreds of bike shops, these guys are truly the worst. Go to Park Side or Bardstown Cyclery instead. Better service without the upsell and attitude. read more

Derek and his team are great example of why people should shop local. They are knowledgeable and committed to the customer experience. I rode my new bike this past weekend. I could not be more pleased with the purchase and I now have wheels that might help me keep up with my son. The store is like going back in time in terms of feel and ambiance. Don't be dismayed they know their stuff and the technology is current but most importantly they love what they do. A Louisville assett!! read more

OYL is an asset to the Louisville biking scene. Drew and his staff are friendly, helpful and know what they are doing. Just last weekend, after a long ride, we rolled in and Drew and his staff were more than willing to check out and tune up our bikes. I highly recommend OYL to anyone. read more

Great bike shop and amazing experience! Great location near Phoenix Hill on Baxter Ave. The shop is owned and operated by two guys that both ride bicycles AND know the business. I was in the market for a road bike and Derek and Drew helped me through the entire process. They properly fit me so I'd have the correct size bicyle, and helped comparison shop between brands and price ranges. I received free maintenance with my purchase and they have been happy to take care of any needed adjustments or repairs. The shop seems to stay busy and all the serious riders bring their bikes here for maintenance. These guys definitely offer something special when it comes to bike shops in Louisville. read more

Drew and Derek are great with customer service and are very knowledgeable and capable service techs. Derek builds my wheels and Drew never fails to follow up. When they say they are ordering you something you can count on it. I love dealing with the owners of the company! These guys also support KyMBA Louisville by investing back into the local trails they love. read more

I took my antique bike here and got a quote for tires and was told I would not need need new tubes just new tires and that they would order them. They held my bike for maybe two days and were done, which was pretty quick! When I came to pick it up I was asked to pay more than I was quoted, cutting me short for my bills, due to them putting new tubes on after I was told it wouldn't need them. I just kind of went with it because they did straighten my fender for no additional cost, the tubes weren't too much more and they were really nice. After riding it ONCE my tire blew and would not hold air, due to tubing issue. I wasn't able to go back in and have them look at it because my bike was stolen. I can't hold it against them since they didn't get a chance to correct the issue. They seemed really friendly also so they are getting a three from me. Would have been a 5 if they hadn't charged me for tubes after telling me I didn't need em' and I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have gotten a flat so soon. I don't know a lot about bikes and I'm new to this and they didn't seem condescending or rude to me. All in all I think these guys should be given a chance, they're a new business and everyone has their bad days. read more

another great experience at on your left. took my recently acquired klein attitude there to replace the rear cassette and chain. they turned it around the same day. quality of work is excellent. friendly service. come here. you wont be disappointed.... read more

Had two bikes serviced here. Both final bills came in over their original estimate. Quality of work was excellent and very quick turn around on both bikes. read more

This was the third and best bike shop I visited today in this area. They had a great selection of bike tools and accessories. I was able to find exactly what I needed and the prices were very reasonable. Everyone who was working there was very nice and helpful. If I lived in Louisville, this would be my go-to bike shop, without a doubt. read more

More great service from OYLC--each time I need a part or service, they deliver. Hand-built wheels remain true, and the vintage steel bike gets compliments where ever I ride it. read more

These guys work their hardest to make sure that their customers are taken care of and do all they can to get the job done. I came from out of town and I wish I were local so I could have these guys as my regular local bike shop! read more

Just completed a bike fitting with these guys. Drew took 2 hours with my questions, measuring, adjusting, testing, and asking me questions to determine my best fit. The bike has never been more smooth, comfortable, and stable. I recommend everyone have a fitting done on their favorite bike; and if you are in Louisville-go to OYLC. read more

Bad customer service. Refused to give me a refund on an item that I returned unused. Will not be buying anything here again.
