ABOUT MAIN LINE CYCLES

A serious bike shop. Without the attitude.

We love bikes, we know our stuff, and we think getting good help should feel easy. Whether you ride every day or haven’t ridden in years, you’re welcome here.

Main Line Cycles is built around honest advice, excellent work, and a shop experience that respects your time. No pressure. No gatekeeping. Just people who care about getting you on the right bike, and keeping it running right.

Meet the Owners

We think a great bike shop should feel a little like a great bagel shop or corner wine bar: local, thoughtful, and something you’re genuinely glad to have in the neighborhood.

We grew up in Philadelphia and opened Main Line Cycles because we believed the Main Line deserved a bike shop that took both the work and the experience seriously. We care about the details, but we don’t expect you to know all of them. Come in knowing exactly what you want, or come in knowing nothing. Either way, we’ll meet you there.

Bikes for real life. Brings yours in too. Ask us anything.

Road, gravel, mountain, e-bikes, commuters, and kids’ bikes—chosen because we believe in them and would ride them ourselves. Our selection includes Specialized and X‑LAB, with options for serious cyclists, brand-new riders, families, and everyone in between.

We’ll help you compare the things that actually matter, find the right fit, and leave with a bike that makes sense for the way you want to ride. No sales pitch required.

Frequently asked questions

No appointment is required to bring your bike in. You’re welcome to stop by during shop hours and we’ll take a look.

For tune-ups and more involved repairs, we’ll check the bike in, talk through what it needs, and give you an estimated timeline before we get started. Booking ahead can help if you’re trying to plan around a specific ride, trip, or deadline.

Yes. For many common issues, walking in is the best place to start.

Some smaller services may be handled while you wait or same-day, depending on the repair and how busy the shop is. Bigger jobs usually need to be checked in and scheduled. Either way, you can bring the bike by and we’ll help you figure out the next step.

It depends on what your bike needs.

We offer different levels of service because not every bike needs the same amount of work. A bike that just needs adjustment and lubrication is very different from one that needs new cables, brake pads, tires, drivetrain parts, or more involved troubleshooting.

When you bring the bike in, we’ll inspect it, explain what we’re seeing, and recommend the right level of service before doing the work.

That’s completely fine. Most people don’t.

You don’t need to diagnose the bike before bringing it in. Tell us what you’re noticing — noises, shifting issues, brake problems, flat tires, weird handling, or just “it hasn’t been ridden in a while” — and we’ll take it from there.

Our job is to help you understand what matters, what can wait, and what needs attention now.

Turnaround depends on the season, the repair, parts availability, and our current service queue.Simple repairs may be completed quickly, sometimes same-day. Tune-ups and larger repairs usually take longer. When you drop the bike off, we’ll give you our best estimate and keep you posted if anything changes.

If you have a ride, race, trip, or commute deadline coming up, tell us when you check in and we’ll do our best to work with it.

Yes, we service many e-bikes.

We regularly work on mechanical bicycle service for e-bikes, including brakes, tires, wheels, drivetrains, accessories, and general adjustments. For electrical or motor-system issues, what we can do depends on the brand, system, and parts/support availability.

We service Specialized e-bikes, Velotric e-bikes, Aventon e-bikes, X-LAB e-bikes, and many other reputable e-bike systems. If you’re unsure whether we can work on your e-bike, bring it by or contact us with the brand and model.

Yes. We’re happy to service bikes whether you bought them from us or somewhere else.

That includes bikes purchased online, from another shop, secondhand, or bikes that have been sitting in the garage for years. We’ll look it over, explain what it needs, and help you decide what makes sense.

We stand behind our work.

If something doesn’t feel right after a repair or tune-up, please let us know. Bikes can settle in after service, especially with new cables, brake pads, drivetrain parts, or wheel work. We want the bike working properly and we want you to feel good riding it.
