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!

Don and his staff are top notch people to work with! Experts in all things bicycle, and great people to boot. Weve now purchased three new bikes from the shop (all Specialized) and have always been treated wonderfully. The staff shares their expertise and opinions without making us feel dumb (we are a normal family with very little bike expertise). Weve also had multiple older bikes serviced at the shop and again had a wonderful experience each time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new bike, or if you just need a tune up on your existing ride.

Great shop and wonderful customer service! We popped in to browse some bikes and the staff was kind and answered all of our questions. We never felt rushed - instead the staff was very friendly. We were also able to find an appropriate fit on a helmet for our son (childs size), so that was a plus too! Its so nice to have such a sweet local bike shop in town - its one of the things that makes Bloomington special!

Have had 2 bikes serviced here, great work done and timely. My mom also bought a bike for my dad, they worked with her on what he needed, he loves his bike. Would highly recommend for all your biking service and purchase needs.

This store was great at helping me pick a new bike when I purchased my diverge roughly two years ago and the staff is always extremely friendly. I recently had a tune-up/repair service done on my bike. On my second ride after I find I have flat partway through my ride, I suspect in part due to the missing stem cap and open presta valve on the freshly replaced inner tube that I had not thought to inspect upon receiving it. Even after a chain and shifting cable replacement, it still tries to jump gears mid stroke. It just feels like the service was half finished, and Im out $150. Perhaps try a different shop for repairs.

Excellent shop and excellent mechanics. Ive been a rider for 30+ years and worked in many bike shops and know when bike shops are run properly and in business for the right reasons and this one rises to the top. Ive been a customer for years but recently had a super technical issue with my rear derailleur not working 100% dead on accurate and was making an ever so slight noise that was bugging me. It was so minimal that many wouldnt notice it but it was bugging me and I knew it wasnt quite right. The mechanic went to crazy lengths to isolate the problem and then solve it. Far and above what I expected. Great shop and people.

Rev is the shop to visit in Bloomington! Excellent mechanic service, friendly customer service, and decent inventory in the shop. If you cant find it in the shop, theyll take the time to work with you to find exactly what you want/need.

I got everything I need to start riding here, and excellent service from Nick and Mike. They answered all of my questions and even helped me to put the bike rack on my car. I will definitely be going back!

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!

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!

The owner of the shop is very rude. He is unwilling to help and treats employees very poorly. He will yell at customers and employees and overall is not a great person to be around. I will take my business to one of the hood shop in town.

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.

When I choose to go to Revolution Bike and Bean I know Im 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 couldnt urge anyone more to come check this awesome place out!

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.

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!

Whether its 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 Im 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.

Wonderful service - they didnt try to sell me anything I didnt 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 cant recommend Revolution Bike & Bean highly enough.Thats all you really need to know. If you are interested in more details, keep reading.Im 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 werent 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 Ive 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.

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!!

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 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 youre a new cyclist or a seasoned vet, a Little 5 rider or a to-and-from commuter, Rev is the place for you!

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 its workshops, participation at a local event, or weekly group rides, Ive 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.

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 months 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. Ill pay a little more to get my tubes and tape from Bike & Bean just because I love the place.

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.
