Anton and the team always help it out and bike should sail smoothly but probs see them soon. Thx agn!

They were very helpful and worked on a problem I had with my bike I bought from them- free- until they fixed it. I can't remember the fellas name but he was nice and a talented bike mechanic. read more

These guys are great! I brought in an ebike for some quick adjustments & flat fix. Not only was the work FAST & fairly priced, I was given the red carpet treatment. Someone even came to the curb and loaded the bike for me. Can't say enough good about this business! read more

Needed help with a bike issue this week and the staff were able to help me on the spot. So professional and detailed with describing the issues with my bike. Will definitely be a regular customer. read more

I came to this shop because of the great reviews and let me tell you it was an amazing experience! I walked up with my bike and a generous employee by the name of Steven opened the door and helped me diagnose what was wrong with my bike. He had all the parts available in store. I thought I would it would be ready in a week or so. Steven told me it would be ready in 30 mins to a hour if I wanted to wait. So I walked around beautiful river west and I get a text in 30 minutes that my bike was ready. He opened the door as I left and told me he had fixed the crooked wheel and a fender on my bike as well. What an awesome place! I can't wait to take my other bike for a full tune up. read more

I'm giving them five stars because I feel like I've come in with so many random, weird bike/bike accessory problems and they have always been willing to listen, offer creative solutions, and give me advice that sometimes involves buying stuff, but sometimes doesn't. There is a more laidback feeling here and I think it's less intimidating than other places. Biking to me sometimes seems to lend itself to being a bit "athletically elitist" (I really don't know what that means - just made it up) but I never get that feeling here. All that being said, they always seem to know there stuff and will investigate a problem until its solved. As mentioned, they seem to specialize in Jamis bikes but do carry others and have a number of used bikes too. They also will give you a $10 off of $25 coupon for bel-air if you spend $50 @ one time. Sold! read more

Hey guys, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Truly is one of the most honest bike shops in Milwaukee. I stumbled upon Truly prior to Milwaukee's legendary 24-hour bike race -- the Riverwest 24. In need of a last-minute tune up, I looked at three different bike shops. Truly not only had the best price for my needs, but they were featuring a fast turn around time for those participating in the RW24. I took the bait and got a sweet tune up. Mere weeks later, I saw an ad for a Surly bike I was in the market for with a credit towards accessories (plus 10% discount on said accessories). They had the bike in the size AND color I wanted and hooked me up with all the accessories I would need to take my first bike tour. They were very accommodating and ordered a few things for me, including a women's specific saddle. They have new bikes and used bikes with some cool brands like Yuba and Fyxation. As I mentioned, their staff will order things if they are not already in stock and give good recommendations based on your needs. They're also not in existence to rip you off, which makes shopping at your LBS much more enjoyable. read more

Truly Spoken Cycles - Used bikes available here - Bikes Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

See all

Over two years later Truly Spoken is still rockin' like a hurricane. (Apt analogy? Dated lyrical reference? You decide.) I recently took my bike in for a tune-up and they took great care of it. Safe bike/tuned up bike = happy bike-ridin' Rachel. Expect informal, community, and a Riverwest-y vibe. (They know their stuff and are super nice, though, so don't be intimidated either!) read more

This place is fantastic. Traditional bike shop. Not too big not too small. They only do want needs to be done and nothing more. I was going in expecting to pay a great deal more and they only did the work that needed to be done. Service was way faster than I expected. When I picked up my bike, it was done perfectly. Couldn't ask for anything more. If I need any work done in the future, I will definitely go back with no reservations. This is my go to bike shop from here on out!!!!! read more

This place is rad! Super friendly and helpful and the prices are pretty decent for tuning up/fixing a bike. As a bike novice, I was a little nervous to come in but they were really helpful and easy to work with! read more

These guys were great - got me right in and found the problem immediately fixed it at a very reasonable price. They've won my business

Fast, responsive and good quality repair. Very helpful direction understanding pros and co a of used bikes . Bough used bike and good value and great condition. read more

A true neighborhood bike shop. My neighbor runs this shop and he is a good man. I've had a tune-up and some minor repairs done here. They do a good job, don't charge an arm+leg, don't try to upsell. Bonus: this place feels like Portlandia. read more

It's bike to work week! How fitting that I am reviewing a bike shop! This place is great. I needed my back tire & tube replaced so I walked my bike over to these guys. It was a Saturday afternoon,and they were able to help me right away. I like that they guy went through all the different tires they had and explained how each one holds up to things. In the end, I just went with the basic tire...BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FRILLS GET THEM AWAY FROM ME. They also have a sweet selection of new bikes for sale, and some used ones as well. Also to be had are various biking accessories, of course. Highly recommend these guys. read more

Quick story: My bike was lifted from (inside!!) my building back in college, and in the years hence I have hesitated to get back on. But I mean, riding a bike is one of the greatest things ever, so I knew eventually I would return to the fold. I have returned to the fold. On (excellent) advice from my buddy and fellow working musician Adam (heard of the Amazing Milwaukee Race/On Bikes? That's him) I walked over to Truly Spoken and am very, very glad I did. I was lucky to receive help (as did our own local Yelp arbiter Rachel F.) from Joshua, who answered all of my questions thoughtfully and who, recognizing my impatience to get back on the saddle, set me up on a bike that will function very well for me for now while leaving room in my wallet for an upgrade in the future. (The future was almost two days later when I stopped back in and spotted an awesome, orange, Japanese racing bike on the floor, just in. I held back. Barely. Definitely took it for a spin.) Like any professional, it stands to reason that a bike repair person would have a paricular area of interest/knowledge/expertise within their given discipline. Joshua indicated to me that his (or one of his, perhaps) is *fit, and took pains to watch me ride the old DiamondBack hybrid he had very recently re-hauled, ensuring that the frame was sized correctly for me and that the saddle and handlebars were situated correctly. Hearty recommendation, and lucky for me they're in my 'hood! read more

Excellent service. Very fair trade in values. Friendly staff. They helped me pick out the perfect bike. And they were very knowledgeable and just great all around experience!! :) read more

This bike shop is incredibly helpful and has exceptional customer service. They gave me an awesome box to safely ship a bicycle overseas and asked what type of bike to be sure it would fit properly inside. The attention to detail and their giving spirit was simply awesome. I highly recommend this bike shop. read more

I stopped in from out of town in need of a tune up before the weekend. They squeezed me in last minute and had my bike ready for me the next day!! Awesome shop great customer service. read more

My boyfriend took my bike here a couple weeks ago on a Wednesday. He left the bike with them and asked if they could fix anything that was wrong before Friday, because we wanted to bring it on our vacation that Saturday. They got everything fixed quickly and the price was super reasonable. He said the man he talked to was friendly and they had a lot of accessories in the shop. We will be back! read more

Found this shop on yelp and went there to get my bike spruced up & tuned for the summer based on both the exceptional reviews and the other bike stores being too busy. Totally great service, quick & knowledgeable. So impressed we took my wife's bike in when we picked mine up. read more

This is a great little shop. They have a good selection of new bikes, rims/wheels, tires, helmets, lights, other protective gear. A few used bikes are included in their offerings as well. I've been through a couple times now, once for some break pads, again for a new tire. Prices were very reasonable both trips, I had the new tire mounted and trued for the cost of ordering and shipping one from online. The technicians I've spoken with at the shop have all been kind, hard working, and quite knowledgeable. Next time I need anything bike related, I'll be heading back here. read more

Truly Spoken is a great bike shop. I can stop in for anything in a pinch and they have it. They did some work on my bike (including cassette and chain replacement and tune-up type work) and had it back to me the next day. They are always very affordable, quick and convenient. I am very happy that this is my neighborhood bike shop and I recommend them to everyone I know. read more

Last night I tried to drop my bike off for some repairs right before closing, but the staff actually stayed late to fix my bike because of the 3 day weekend. They were done in like half an hour and my bike rides better than ever. These guys are awesome! read more

The friendliest, least pretentious bike shop in town. Always affordable too. I trust them entirely!

I hadn't purchased a new bike in, well, forever. Literally. The last bike I bought was a 1973 Schwinn Suburban that I found on Craigslist 10 years ago for $60. Prior to that, I hadn't had a bike since I was a teenager (and I'm NOT going to tell you how long ago that was, but trust me, it was a looooong time ago). Naturally, I was nervous about buying a bike. Would it be like buying a car, having to deal with a skeevy salesperson? Would they treat me like a moron because I don't know anything about bikes? I needn't have worried. Aytan and Greg were so great to me - I test rode some bikes, and they encouraged me to test ride as many as I wanted, that I could take the bikes out for long rides to really get the feel for how they rode. I did fall in love with a bike that day, but wanted to check out some others, so I went to a different bike shop and rode some bikes, but the salespeople weren't particularly engaged and I didn't feel anything for the bikes - they were nice, sure, but I already knew what I wanted. I went back to Truly Spoken and had them order the bike I really wanted (the one they had in the shop that I test rode was a standard and I wanted a step-through). A few weeks later, it arrived and I took a 10-mile test ride, went back to the shop and happily plunked down my money and took my new baby home. I will always go back to these guys. They are the best, EVER!!! read more

This shop is the epitome of amazing customer service! They were extremely accommodating to our circumstances and were able to address our issues quickly and competently. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. To top it all off their prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

Fantastic service every time I come to this bike shop. The owner is very helpful. Just purchased a new bike and will definitely be back again! read more

Love these guys... Definitely a neighborhood gem here in Riverwest. I love the fact that there's no bullshit about it - don't expect to walk in and be over-stimulated with a shitstorm of "cycling lifestyle" merchandising, and a swarm of over-zealous employees trying desperately to sell you the same model biking underwear Lance Armstrong wore - before he started doping. Nope. Just a really cool, knowledgable shop owner who knows his shit when it comes to bikes, is more than happy to offer advice, tips, etc, even if you aren't paying for anything, and who will quote you a fair, transparent price when you are. Because they don't fuck around and know what they're doing, it never seems like their shop is backlogged, so anytime I've needed a repair I couldn't do myself, they've had my bike back on the road pretty much instantaneously. Can't recommend them enough; wish every business was as awesome as Truly Spoken. read more

I stopped in today just wanting to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly owner who gave me tons of advice about places to ride and other information about the area. Just moving to the area this was extremely valuable. There is a great selection of new and used bikes and lots of accessories, tools, and fast wear items in stock. I will definitely be back. read more

Truly Spoken Cycles is quite simply an excellent bike shop. I've been to many of Milwaukee's bike shops for service and parts over the years and recently purchased a new bike, which had me spending hours in shops looking not only for the right bike but a place I would feel good about spending the money. Truly Spoken was the last shop I visited largely because they were friendly experts who seemed pleased -- excited even -- to chat with me about everything I was looking for in a bike, my commute to work, my experience, and even just Milwaukee and life in general. Truly Spoken is a gem of a place. They're honest, welcoming, and extremely helpful. From what I've seen of local shops, Truly Spoken is far, far above the rest. Stop by; you won't be disappointed. read more

this shop should be named truly broken. everything i've ever bought from there has broken within one week. the pump stopped working after 4 days, 3 different sets of bike lights all stopped working, one within the first 12 hours. the owner has one of the worst attitudes not only towards his employees but his customers as well. even if i had a flat tire in the pouring rain i promise never to step foot into this shop again. good luck. read more
