We are located in the Tangletown neighborhood of South Minneapolis, nestled between Lake Harriet, 35W and the Minnehaha Creek. At Tangletown Bike Shop we offer new, used, and rental bikes. We also have accessories and a full service department to keep you rolling. Bikes have always been a part of my life and I have my Dad to thank for that, he was an avid cyclist before I was even a thought.
He has always encouraged me to learn; I have many memories of fixing bikes in the back yard instead of taking them to a shop. He is the reason I got my first job in the bike industry. There was an ad in the local newspaper for an opening at Valley Bike and Ski which he pointed out to me. I applied, got the job and worked there until I graduated high school.

Great service, very helpful and positive vibe, sweetest shop dog. Went in for a brake replacement, looking to get back on the road quickly. No wait; they didn't have the exact same part in stock but found another that worked well and I was back riding in about 15 minutes. Prices were very reasonable. I'll be back!

In the past 2 months, I've been to Tangletown twice for tire issues (front & rear). What is different about Tangletown than any of the other bike shops I've been to in the Twin Cities is that whatever technician is doing the work teaches and tells you what they're doing in the moment. The work area is open to the retail area and the repair process is transparent. Tangletown is my new go-to bike shop- highly recommend.

I took my old bike in to Tangletown and they did some basic tune-ups for a great price. When I needed a new bike, I found one here (from a well-known brand). It turned out to have a few loose parts. When I brought it in to have them fixed, the staff recognized me as soon as I walked in the door. They did the fixes for free, with no paperwork and with no questions asked. Ultimately, the bike needed a new part. They handled the warranty claim entirely on their own. When the warranty process looked like it would take too long, they took apart a new bike they had in stock to get the part for mine.

I would leave 10 stars if I could. On a cross county bike trip we had Tangletown Bike Shop check, tune, and service our two bicycles. They went beyond for us and Mike and his whole team were exceptional in every way. The bikes continue to ride exceptionally well with everything running like new. Use this shop whenever you can is my recommendation.

This is the second time I rented a bike from this shop. The location is perfect and a short ride to the beautiful bike trails near the lakes. We ordered our rental bikes on line. It easy, quick and quite simple. Rental include helmet. They are very customer focused and very accommodating. I reserved on my credit card but wanted to put in on a different card when we arrived. They unlike most places did not see it as an issue. The bikes were well maintained and very comfortable. We rented hybrids. The neighborhood was great. I will definitely return on my next visit to Minneapolis.

Love Tangletown Bike shop. I needed to special order a Fuji bike and the Fuji website only listed 3 authorized dealers in town. I picked Tangletown because of their location and am glad I did. I called right b4 closing and the woman who aswered said they would order the bike I needed and swung in the next day to do so. In the midst of the corona wave Mike helped me get the bike ordered and asked the right questions to make sure it was right. The bike arrived quickly and when Mike called me he told me that not only was it in but assembled and ready for pick up. I will go back as they have everything

This is a great local shop. The staff really takes the time to figure out what you need, and they are very laid back and no pressure. They have a nice selection of styles and will get in what they don't have quickly. Pictures of their new customers showing off their new rides shows some pride in getting the neighborhood on wheels! Good experience there with sales and service, some new bikes and accessories and some used bikes.

This bike shop is great. I hadn't purchased a bike in 10 years and had no idea what I was looking for exactly. The staff were really friendly, knowledgeable, and didn't try to up-sell me like some of the other bike shops I went to before this one. It really felt like they cared about matching me with the right bike for my needs and within the price range I wanted. The customer service is excellent, and I would absolutely go here again.

They rent, repair and sell. We have done all three at one time or another. Their speedy service is well priced, and they usually do any repairs right when we come in. They empower us with the info needed to do our own maintenance next time, too. Such a great place! We are lucky to have it in our neighborhood. If it is tough to park on 50th Street during rush hour, park around the corner and walk your bike down. This place rocks!

We called on a Saturday morning as soon as they opened, hoping they'd have four bikes for rent. They did, so we drove into town from the 'burbs and were very pleased to see four great bikes for us. Prices were low, bikes were great, and they helped us adjust the seats for the perfect fit.
10/10 will rent again.

Super helpful, really friendly! I was staying at my mom's house and wanted to take advantage of the beautiful bike trails around my hometown, but the bike sitch at the house was a little dicey. I stopped by this great place and got a solid (and affordable) helmet, plus had one of the kind guys take a look at my old bike and diagnose/fix a weird squeak that I couldn't solve. 10 minutes and $30 later (great price for a helmet plus a tune-up) and I was fully prepped for an amaaaaazing early spring day of bike-exploring. Thanks guys!
