Revolution Bike and Bean Review

Wonderful service - they didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need (I only bought what I came in for). They told me everything I needed to do to service my own bike. Super friendly.
Price was very reasonable.

I love Rev Bike & Bean. They did a tuneup on my road bike and it came back feeling like a brand new machine. They told me what the price was going to be before I agreed to the tuneup and stuck with that once it was done. It only took them a few days to get it done and they went over everything that they did and why they did it. A few month's later my shifting was getting a little clickety clackity and they adjusted my derailleur at no charge. Great customer service. Great people. Great bike service. I'll pay a little more to get my tubes and tape from Bike & Bean just because I love the place.

When I choose to go to Revolution Bike and Bean I know I'm going to get great service on and off the bike. A few times a week I swing in to the shop on my lunch break for a coffee and am treated with warm conversation and stories from the staff.
When it comes to on the bike service, I could ask for a better experience. I love my bike and only use bicycling as my source of transportation. Revolution bike and bean always gets me going again no matter their situation. They truly understand what it means to be a cyclist.
Out of the shop, I can count on their staff engaging in the cycling community and riding their bicycles. I see Don and many of his staff members riding their bike on and off road multiple times a week. I couldn't urge anyone more to come check this awesome place out!

Helpful, patient, and friendly staff. Knowledgeable folks with a nice selection of Specialized bicycles.

Great experience. They went above and beyond to my son a bike. Thanks for everything.

The first bike shop I ever visited as a rookie cyclist my freshman year at IU and has been my #1 shop ever since. Professional service, high quality gear, and a phenomenal staff keep me coming back while the coffee and good conversation keeps me lingering. Whether you're a new cyclist or a seasoned vet, a Little 5 rider or a to-and-from commuter, "Rev" is the place for you!

Really good people. Tons of knowledge and experience.

Great staff! Very knowledgeable and friendly! Great experience and will definitely go back when needed.

I had a back injury and needed a bike that would ease some of my issues that riding was causing. Jesse and Don guided me to the right bike with a smoother ride, better gearing, and lighter weight. Their selection is great and the service is fantastic!

Helped me repair my electric scooter. Great service.

Always a good price an the guys are fantastic in fixing hard bike problems

Great local shop. Super friendly atmosphere and staff.

Always great service and a fine attitude from the people who work there. They got all the stuff.

Great service and if you need a road bike this is the place.

Great People! Creating a community around biking! Service on my bike was fairly priced and they went the extra mile with some adjustments. My home in Bloomington for my vintage bike and my daily rider. Thanks!

Great service and very kind employees that work their. Will help you with anything you need!

Very helpful. My friends and I were new riders in the fall, and their staff helped us with picking out a bike in our price range. We haven t had any issues with them at all

I ve probably gone here a handful of times now but this is the last time I will be here. Came in, they didn t have a mask for me, didn t accept medical exemptions per governor s orders, and wouldn t take my bike outside even. One of the employees who showed me the door out was wearing a communist shirt too, an affront to me as a South Vietnamese American whose family had to escape the horrors of Communism.

I went to Bikesmiths where a person came out immediately as I parked, and took my bike and information right outside.

Best service ever I always take my bike here to get fixed and they also have sweet deals on products and will order you just about anything you can imagine

Helpful staff. Very knowledgeable and competitive prices.

Great shop, great people, great service. Enough said.

Don and his team are excellent! Top notch customer service and close to campus.

Helpful, kind, knowledgeable and generous staff. I bought a fully outfitted bike a year or so ago and felt totally taken care of. Just got it tuned up and the turn-around, price and information sharing far surpassed my expectations.

The entire staff is very knowledgeable and went way above and beyond to make sure my experience was great. They even went so far as to give my 18 month old son some Animal Crackers. I highly recommend this shop!!

Friendly, fast and very reasonably priced service I highly recommend them they are my new favorite bike shop in town!

Whether it's a personal tune up or retrofitting an entire cycling program, Revolution Bike & Bean is the place to go. There is something to be said about the knowledgeable and personable staff who immerse themselves in cycling and the culture.

In choosing Revolution Bike and Bean I know I'm going to get great service on and off the bike. Regardless of the bike brand, make, or model, there is no better shop in Bloomington.

They always have exactly what I'm looking for. Also, mechanics are knowledgeable and completed work quickly and correctly.

The Shop looks nice and is fairly easy to navigate. The employees are nice and helpful. I couldn't bring my self to spend double what other places charged and they were vary understanding of that. Hope they last since we're losseing local bike shops pretty fast.

Very helpful staff, quick service, and a good espresso while I waited. I will go back there and recommend to friends.

I had a great experience shopping here. Mike was very knowledgeable and helpful, and took time to learn about my interests and help me pick the best bike for me. The atmosphere was relaxed and they let me test ride a few different bikes to help me find the best one for me. Would definitely recommend!

I can't recommend Revolution Bike & Bean highly enough.

That's all you really need to know. If you are interested in more details, keep reading.

I'm slow to be enthused, and I weigh decisions regarding spending money quite carefully; ergo, I did months of research, bike shopping, and test riding at both local and not-so-local bike shops before finally deciding to make a purchase at Revolution.

Why? Yes, the bike I bought did end up being my favorite (by a long shot). Yes, the employees are all great salespeople. Yes, they are deft mechanics. Ultimately, though, it was their down-to-earth, outrageously kind, anti-snobbery disposition that won me over.

As someone coming into this experience as new to cycling more seriously, I became quickly turned off by the bike shops that touted their elitism (though, to be fair, the majority of shops weren't like this) and peeved by those that were staffed by people who could not answer my questions or make recommendations. By contrast, the team at Revolution seemed thrilled at the prospect of helping a budding fanatic and went to great lengths to get me the best bike possible. They continue to answer any and all questions, no matter how basic, in a relatable manner.

I believe I've said all I can. Truly, this is one of those rare places that makes me wish I had a small fortune to invest, because Revolution Bike & Bean would make the list. Instead, all I can do is continue to give them my business and hope that you who made it to the end of my wordy, stream-of-consciousness review actually do have a small fortune, and will go see it for yourself.

I walked in to Revolution knowing very little about bikes and with only a vague idea of what I wanted. I walked out with a bike I love. They took the time to measure me so the bike fits me and feels great to ride. The differences between each bike were clearly explained, as well as the reasons for the differences in price. I never felt pressured to buy anything more expensive than what I wanted. If you are in the market for a bike in Bloomington, I highly recommend Revolution Bike & Bean.

Revolution Bike & Bean is the best shop in Bloomington! Every time I walk through the doors I am greeted with a smile. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and also very quick. The store has all of the products that a cyclist could ask for! I know that whenever I take my bike to Revolution Bike & Bean I m going to receive A+ service and everything will be done at an honest price. Fantastic job to all of the staff at Revolution, keep up the great work!

Salespeople were kinda rude. I know nothing about bikes and they didn't seem interested in explaining what was wrong with my bike.

Refused to give any quote on how much repairs on my bike would cost before fixing it.

Prices seemed reasonable. $15 to fix my bike chain.

Great service. Good group of people that love bikes.

Love this bike shop! Mechanics who can get it done!

Fantastic service, great advice. It's always a pleasure to go into the store.

I m going to give you a five star not because you guys are the best because you need it I hope you can improve on customer service plus I hate giving negative feedback

Great place. Knowledgeable staff. Great mechanics.

Came in looking to order a replacement headset for my 2015 specialized rockhopper sport. I expected to be paying upwards of $50 but when I showed one of the guys there the damaged part of the headset he ran back behind the counter and found a replacement for $2.00! Incredible. Thank you for outstanding customer service!

Best shop in town!! Friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff! Great service every time! Great selection of bikes! Staff willing to take the time to teach you about what type of bike is best for you and why it suits your riding style. They carry the same mentality for servicing bicycles as well and are more than happy to explain what repairs need to take place at that moment and what repairs should take place soon. You can tell the owner cares about the people who come in to the store.

Ever since I started cycling, Revolution has been my go-to bike shop. They are immensely helpful and really seek to serve the Bloomington community. Whether it's workshops, participation at a local event, or weekly group rides, I've seen the owner and staff give a lot back to the people around them. They often walk people through the work their bikes need; education like this promotes a safer (and less expensive) experience for the customer in the long term. I always leave the shop with more knowledge than before. If you are apprehensive about the sometimes intimidating atmosphere of a bike shop, then try this one, and I bet your experience will be a good one. They are patient and kind and listen to their customers.

Great service. Good group of people that love bikes.

Was planning for a trip and they helped every step of the way. They also have an incredibly nice staff. Definitely the bike shop to go to in Bloomington.

They cleaned up my Walmart Special spectacularly and got me into a much better bike when I thought there was no way it was possible with my budget!
Great quality work and great caring people.

These guys are awesome,very friendly and do great work,I highly recommend them ,best and friendliest bike shop in Bloomington Indiana by far!!!!

Not the best experience. I got my bike back with dirty handles, extra scratches, and changed saddle height. I was charged $$ for fixing my squeaky brakes but the next day the sound was back.

Rented a bike to ride around Btown for the day. Very helpful and great staff. I will definitely go back.
