There was a time in my not so long ago past when I daily biked thirty miles from the lakeside house where I breakfasted with river otters before my commute to downtown Olympia to open an independent bookstore for a population with book sense (albeit less than Portland's). So joyfully cycle-prone was I that I scarcely imagined any able-bodied adult ever making any trip of 50 miles or less by anything besides a bike. Living afterwards on Orcas Island for several years, my overwork tendencies coupled with the winter westerner weaned me quickly away from biking so much and when I later moved to the DC/NY conurbation the bike stayed behind with other belongings in Seattle until I sorted it all out after a brief settling in. When retrieved, the bike was a showpiece of tension between being so loved and being hella neglected and way more than gently used. With trepidation, I surrendered my bike to the miraculously affordable miracle ministrations of NoPo Bike Works. They'd not been around in the 90s when I'd lived just off Michigan and Failing, so I fretted to fullest extent and expected a financially disastrous bill too. Not so. The cost was minimal, the iron steed reborn, and now I ride regularly and often regale recent wave arrivals with unremarkable and tendentious claims of has-been-ness (which is really quite a new & noable achievement in arrogance more than once predicted as possible). If you encounter me, just defocus your eyes a bit and add a moderate smile and variable periodic nodding and I'll ramble but a little briefer before mentioning the one piece of it worth your recall. Support North Portland Bike Works if possible, and the older bike shops and community organizations as much as you might. It's a worthy spot and they'll do you and your velocipede very very well.

Sick shop with such great staff!! Check this place out - reasonably priced gear, free bike pump usage outside, and love that they even sell individual tube patches for if you're in the neighborhood when you get a flat! I've dropped in a few times to check out NPBW, bought a few maintenance necessities, and ended up chatting with the friendly staff who told me about the donation-based community repair workshops they put on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. I was stoked - my bike could definitely use some tuning up and I've been wanting a few pointers on how to adjust a few things. Ended up going and Alex took lots of time showing me all the ropes, sharing tips, and my ride is SO dialed in now!! It's like a new rig, I'm in love. Thank you!

I want to leave a review for Kat, because truly, she rocks! I've tried a few times to find a bike that suits me but quickly aborted my efforts each time. Of the four shops I went to I felt uncomfortable and pretty unwelcome. I really got the impression from the staff that I was putting a dent in their day by asking them questions and taking up their time. Then I found North Portland Bike Works and Kat immediately made me feel welcome and let me know that she'd be happy to help me find my dream bike. She was so patient and kind and really went out of her way to help me enjoy the whole experience. I'll be taking my hubby there this week to hopefully help find him his dream cycle too! Thanks Kat, I'm very lucky to have found you :-)

I strolled in as a walk-in needing a tune up and concerned with a few parts needing replacement as quoted by Bike Gallery. While the other place gave me a two-week turnaround time, the team here took my bike in right away. They found it to be in perfect condition and did not need any replacements. Bonus! While I waited, I cuddled with their cute dogs. This place is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I didn't feel uncomfortable not having the most knowledge of my own bike. I highly recommend bringing your bike here for honest service. They even threw in a new reflector, seeing mine was damaged.

BikeWorks is amazing! We are a nonprofit that supports foster teens. One of our teens needed a bike to commute to work and we brought North Portland Bike Works a donated bike to get “ride ready” for our teen. They did great work, were friendly and knowledgeable and all around great to work with! They also threw in a lock and helmet to keep our kid and his new wheels safe. I can’t recommend them enough! Please support these rad humans with your business. You will love working with them!

This shop is an asset to the neighborhood! Friendly and knowledgeable staff who clearly want to get customers a good value. Brought in two bikes for service. They rushed a tune-up to fit our vacation schedule. Also observed staff accommodating people of different economic means and kindly adjusting their service rate to the means of one customer who might not have been able to afford repairs. Support this honest business that takes great care of North Portland.

This shop is fantastic. We were traveling from out of state and had a new-to-us bike shipped to a friend's house in Portland. We will realized that it needed some work beyond skill level, so brought it in. Not only was it ready a few hours later, but we got friendly, helpful advice for continued maintenance and ways to make other bikes more user friendly. Prices were imminently reasonable. I wish this bike shop was in my neighborhood!

Awesome little neighborhood community bike shop with all the essentials and a welcoming staff. A lot of bike shops get a bad rap for having a pretentious air about them, but that's not the case here and that's what will keep me coming back more than anything. Repair services are reliable, quick, and affordable. Also worth dropping in just to meet the shop dog Pony Boy, he's a sweetheart :-)

For someone who just started walking again and riding a bike I have to say I'm very impressed with this place. I brought my bike in because I was missing a screw for my brakes and a few of my gears were not working. The guys at this place are super nice and helpful. They replaced the screw and fixed to my gears for free. Amazing!! can't tell you how much that meant to me!! best bike shop.

Love the excellent bike I got at NPBW a few months ago, and the super friendly and helpful staff. Nice policy to give any new bike a free first tune up, which I needed as I was on my bike at least an hour a day since I got it! One time I drove by and they took a look at my brakes on the spot, even though they are backlogged with repairs like everyone else now. Super glad they are here!

I've been on the hunt for a used bike and the folks here are some of the nicest around. When I initially called and there wasn't anything that fit my needs, they didn't hesitate to recommend other local shops. That's going above and beyond to me! I also appreciate that they release used bikes in groups so that you have a few options at a time. Would absolutely recommend them.

I can not recommend their bike repair service enough. This was one of the best customer service experience I have ever had. My bike was fixed on time, under budget, and rides like a dream. They were very communicative when they found extra work they recommended, and the cost estimate of that work was spot on (and didn't cause any delay in me getting my bicycle. Bravo!

I bought my Linus here last winter and they were so helpful, nice, and easy to deal with. The owner even helped install new lights and a rack on my bike while I continued to shop. Recently, I brought my bike back in for a tune-up and they had it back to me within a day. It was shining like a brand-new bike when I got it back and I swear it rode even better too!

Excellent! We've typically gone here for our bike maintenance, but recently stopped by to have our kids bike checked out as our daughter did some of her own maintenance on her brakes and wanted a pro to look things over. Great interaction, excellent customer service, and they host a community class for maintenance. This is building a community! Thank you!

Fast, fun, quality service by a team that knows what they're doing! The prices (for accessories and services) are affordable and the team is friendly + knowledgeable. They outfitted my new rig with lights, a mounted lock and replaced my grip all within 2/3 hours. I'm ready for the road and have them to thank for it! Highly recommended.

It's always so weird when you go into a business and feel like they actually want to help you on a personal level in contrast to simply wanting your money. These guys are great. Bought an awesome bike here during one of their sales and love it a lot. They even looked at it and tweaked it up for free the other day. Perfectly satisfied.

North Portland bike works is my shop for life! Had a strange service request that was handled so well and at a reasonable price. Staff was kind and knowledgeable. Purchasing bike equipment there I was offered legitimate expertise based on my needs and not just the most expensive items. I love this place

Can’t say enough good things about Alex and Lindsey at North Portland Bike Works! I’m in the process of upgrading my commuter bike and they’ve answered a ton of my bike questions along the way. They always have the parts that I need and are very community oriented/open to sharing their bike knowledge.

Fantastic customer service. Lindsey there took plenty of time to make sure everything was just right for the bike I bought. She also walked me through lock options, helmet options, and gave me tips and advice to make sure I was well taken care if after I left. Wonderful bike shop with wonderful staff.

Conveniently located within walking distance, took my bike in for a 3-day turnaround brake repair. They got it done in 2 days! I also bought cute gloves, a pannier rack and a bell that also got installed. I think they threw in a used rear tire as mine was splitting. Very happy with the service!

I have had several immensely positive experiences getting repairs from this place. Each staff encounter has been so kind and courteous every time and I'm consistently shocked at how affordable and high-quality their work is. I wouldn't ever consider taking my business anywhere else.

I actually came in for a repair on a golf push cart. I took it previously to other shops but they were unable to help as they didn't have the parts. The young gentleman was able to track down an obscure used brake to use and installed it perfectly. Definitely would come back

Great bike shop, i bought my bike in the summer from there, its was shipped from newjersey, the staff treated me great and educated me on the product i was buying. Overall i would recommend this bike shop to anyone looking to purchase a bike, or learn more about cycling.

Not for profit bike shop. I've gone in on several of their workshop Tuesdays (workers will help you work on your bike - for free!) and always been very happy with the help. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn how to do basic work on their own bike.

I had taken my bike to three different bike shops before people at North Portland Bike Works finally fixed my front derailleur. They did a great job and did it relatively quickly. This is my new home base bike shop for sure.

Great experience, friendly staff, and didn’t make a cycling newbie like me feel awkward at all! They fixed my alignment issue and front brake disc in 5 minutes. This will definitely be my go-to bike shop in North Portland.

Nonprofit with Great staff and lots of new & used bikes. Service is excellent. My only complaint, once they special ordered a helmet for my wife but we never got a call and they didn't know anything about it when we asked

Seamless and fun bike purchase. The owner went way above and beyond to help find and fit us to the perfect bikes, then was more than happy to help set up our dog trailer which we didn't even buy there. Love this place!

Brought my bike in because it wasn't shifting correctly, and they not only fixed it and lubed the chain, but also adjusted the brakes and basically gave me a mini-tune up for $20 and got it done early the next morning

This bike shop has the most knowledgeable staff I've seen! I was near the end of my New York to seattle journey, then I needed New cables. I went to the shop they had good prices and a life hack staff!!

The 2 mechanics I've worked with so far have been knowledgeable, helpful and reasonable ($). Can't really ask for more in a repair shop, when bringing the bike back outside after a storage year. …

I've had my biked tuned up here a couple times and have purchased a few odds and ends. The staff is always super friendly and helpful and my bike always comes back nice and smooth after a tune.

Just purchased my bike here a few days ago. The staff was incredibly helpful and easygoing. They helped me find the best bike for my ability and budget, and answered any questions I had.

Really nice people!!! Not presumptuous or arrogant as some bike sales people can be. They want you on a bike so that you'll learn to love it and keep the rubber to the ground!! Ride on!!

Awesome shop, super nice staff. Needed to use a tool and get some air, they were nothing but pleasant. Ill be back to buy a pump, fenders and tools when I get a little cash again.

Great experience fixing a flat. The mechanic helped me out and even gave me a little rubber grommet to protect a sharp edge around the valve stem free of charge. Back riding :)

Very helpful and friendly. I was purchasing my first bike since I was a kid. I had many questions about choosing a bike and accessories. They were patient and informative

I brought three bikes here recently. The staff is helpful, kind, knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them! The store front also has a nice variety of selection.

Staff were friendly and timely with my wheel repair. Pricing was very reasonable. Will definitely be coming back in the future for other bike maintenance!

Super nice service and very helpful. Fitted my son for a bike and helmet. Bonus - sweet, friendly puppy and thoughtful COVID rules. We will be back!!

Nicest staff. They always remember my name and explain everything they are doing. Bought my second bike from them and love going to their workshop

Love this bike shop. They're extremely kind and have excellent customer service. Plus, ponyboy, the resident bike shop dog is the best!

Great place, wide selection of bike bells. Very friendly staff, we are very lucky to have NoPo Bike Works in our neighborhood!

Went in on Sunday for a helmet, floor pump, and skewer. Great friendly service and they had everything i needed! Thank you!!

This place is my go to bike shop. They are friendly, helpful, and not pretentious. It is well worth the drive to come here.

Very helpful staff and the sweetest bike store pup named Pony Boy. We'll definitely return for future bike-related needs.

Friendly fast service and the price point can’t be beat. I will definitely be back for any bike needs in the future!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Also willing to admit when they don't have an answer, and eager to find one!

Lindsey was helpful and understanding. Support small businesses like this one and build a great community!

Flattened tire on a gorgeous day to ride, they fixed me right up with a smile and well wishes for my ride!

Had an issue with my back hub and they snuck me in right before close. Saved the weekend! Thanks so much!

I went in for a quick repair and they got me back on the road in no time! Very kind and wonderful shop!

Used to be my local shop when I lived closer to it. The owners are nice and they do good repair work.

Fixed a flat for me. It didn't take, but they did it again for free. Worked well. Nice people.

Friendly, super helpful, and worked with me on my budget. Could not recommend this shop enough

Friendly service. Laid back and knowledgeable staff. Quality work. My favorite bike shop.

So great! Helpful, freindly, fast, and thoughtful. Excellent work great costomer service

I’ve had them work on my bike twice now, and they always do a great job. New grips!!!

Super helpful, patient, knowledgeable and helpful folks at this awesome bike shop.

they’ve been able to fix me up quickly every time i’ve needed them.

I highly recommend this bike shop! Excellent service and variety

Very nice people and good prices!!! Really awesome staff!!!!

Great Service, very gentle, friendly and good prices too.

Friendly staff! Work was completed within quoted price.

Alex and crew are the best of the best! Awesome shop!

Love these folks! Super helpful and friendly.

Extremely helpful staff, high quality bikes!
