After an eight year soul-crushing stint in media, Ben has ditched the suit and returned to what he does best: running a proper grease-under-the-fingernails bike shop! Enjoy the aromatic mixture of oil & rubber the minute you enter Kickstand Bicycles - stick around to kick the road racing tires, watch "Pee Wee's Big Adventure", or get a lesson in flat repair.

Not a review writer, but have to say such nice people for a bike shop. Very friendly, easy to talk to and very HONEST, which is hard to find in a bike store. Plus , found that the prices were way cheaper than anywhere else in the city, PLEASE , listen to this and if you need any repair go to these guys!

My partner and I bought bikes here a month ago. The owners were incredibly helpful and made sure we walked away with exactly what was reasonable for us. This was the first bike purchase for both of us and they really went above and beyond to figure out what we needed and get us the best product in our price range.
Since then, they've been incredibly helpful performing maintenance and even teaching us how to maintain our bikes ourselves. This shop really goes above and beyond.

This is a terrific place. One of the best bike shops in Manhattan. Super nice owners who do repairs quickly and economically. My bike was swiped while I was giving a tour of Central Park. I walked over late Saturday afternoon and they were able to get a new bike ready for me the very next day. Call me loyal and pleased!

Ben is the kind of person who actually loves what he does. You can feel his passion for bicycles when he answers your questions and the ease with which he explains things. This is easily the best bike shop in NYC (and I’ve been to a couple in Queens and the UES/UWS). Picked up my bike and it felt brand new! Fair prices! Excellent customer service and professionalism. Easily my new go-to bike shop, and best of all, I know my money is going to support fantastic locals. Thank you Ben & Andrea!

I stopped by to fix my flat tyre. Although it was almost closing time, they were very kind and nice. The mechanic/owner asked me to walk in to the store to show me what was the real problem and how he was fixing it. Kind of service that I never experienced from other bike shops in NYC/BK. Price was very reasonable. I would definitely go back when I have trouble or need to buy anything.

I was lucky enough to get a flat within a block from this shop because I would not have discovered it otherwise. What a wonderful vibe here! Had that true NYC neighborhood, "mom & pop" feel — the owners knew EVERYONE who walked down the block. Very kind and friendly. They fixed me up really quickly and the repair was super reasonably priced — they also helped me out with a small detail on something free of charge. There's a bike shop two blocks away from my apt but I'd rather travel 20 blocks to give my business here instead!

I blew out a tire on my Citizen Miami folding bike about a block from this place a few weeks ago. I showed them my tire and they gave me options on a couple different tires at different price points. They were nice and knowledgeable. Explained to me why one was ten more dollars over the other. Fixed me up really quickly. Price is normal for the city for a tire, inner tube and labor. I blew out my other tire across town today and had it fixed at a different place for a similar price with a similar tire.
It's a good neighborhood store. I saw them working on some other bikes. Lots of locals seem

Andrea and Ben are fantastic. They don’t BS you or try to nudge you to purchase something you don’t want or need. I purchased my hybrid from them and have routinely gone for tire fix, tune-up etc and always left feeling very satisfied and treated fairly. Not just compared to other bike shops, but overall, theirs is one of my favorite businesses in the city.

I love this place . I go there for all my bike 🚴 needs. The staff goes above and beyond to satisfy the customer. They take the time to really listen to your questions and give reasonable options. While most bike shops are rip off this place is far from it. I recommend this place to all my friends. ❤️
