Stemple’s Cycle Center

This place is great. Saved my weekend training. Took in my last minute repair. Awesome place!

«Thank you for supporting local business». These are the exact words from the owner.
I took in my son’s bike in to install a light that my wife had purchased. Not being the handyman that I should be —- I decided to return to Stemple’s.
The owner happily installed the light fixture. Before he handed me the bike, he checked the tires and brakes. That’s a businessman that takes pride in his workmanship and his business.
And YES, we support local business. My kids have purchased all their bikes here — their first bikes and their current bikes.
The location is picture perfect — off the Prairie Path.
Way to go Stemple’s. Keep it up!

Great service and very helpful tips. I appreciate having a local shop right by the Prairie Path. Nice they are open a little later a couple evenings a week too for after work service pick-​up. Highly recommend.

Wow, the service is fantastic. I haven’t ridden a bike regularly since I was in elementary school but decided I needed one for balance, exercise, etc. Went there, they helped me pick out the right bike and then instructed me on right accessories for safety going back and forth for work.
Very professional service. Cost isn’t the factor when you expect great one on one personalized service-​in your neighborhood.
Best service I’ve gotten in a very long time.

Used to be a reliable neighborhood shop. NOT NOW! I think because they’re the only game in town they think they could get away with bad service and high prices, and VERY SLOW service. I’ll go far out of my way to have to deal with Stemples.

They don’t have a bike rack… seriously? They are right off of the Prairie Path and yet don’t have a rack!!! I asked them about this and they stated that it’s due to Elmhurst’s zoning laws. They have a driveway along the side of the building and even a «back porch» sort of area where the mechanics were hanging out… but no bike rack.
Fortunately, there is a bike rack down the way in the small park (which no one bothered to point out to me).
My experience here was so-​so. The shop/​selection was on the small side and had a boutique feel. They didn’t carry anything that I was interested in. All in all, with so many other shops to choose from, I doubt I’ll ever stop back.

this place is great! definitely one of elmhurst’s gems esp. and is located right off the prairie path trail to boot! i recently stopped by to have them help me with attaching a bike trailer and they did it for no charge! the man just told me to «smile while i was riding». my husband also recently had his bike adjusted there (also for no charge). all the employees i have interfaced with are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. i previously needed to have a double stroller repaired and they did the work for me at a nominal cost. i have only had service work done there so can’t speak to their costs for bikes & accessories but i personally love having a local shop as a resource in my community and as an «aspiring bike enthusiast». thank you stemples!

The work here is TERRIBLE! They have blah brands on the floor, and I did look at a new bike since they wanted $ 250 for a repair on a bike that was less than a year old, and I PURCHASED IT FROM THEM! I bought the bike on the fact that I lived close to them and they are next to the path helped. But after getting into the cycling bug I wanted something more, and I wanted my current bike to be a back up winter bike.
Don’t get me wrong, but I was charged for reflectors to be put on my for $ 15 after I ripped them off because I have lights. And my brakes still squeaked, my wheels were not true, and the only parts replaced were grips and tires… the tubes were fine. So given the pricing at other shops this should have been $ 80-​$ 100. But $ 250?
Screw you Stemples… your service sucks, and I am going to buy a Specialized Venge down the street. $ 6,000 lost sale. And I will be happy to post pics after I pick it up next week.

My hometown bike shop.
Bought Wifey’s bike here as well as mine.
Get all my tune ups here.
Get my free air here… love free air (though I guess it always should be).
Right by the Prairie Path… so fill up and go hit the trail!

Just purchased 2 bikes, for myself and my wife, accessories and car rack. They could not have been nicer & very helpfull. No over selling. Spend over $ 1,500, but I compared their prices online, and they were right there with everyone else, and they are local and offer great service. When you buy a bike, you get 25% off all accessories.

a bit expensive, but good service and convenient. i do a lot of work on bikes and have found stemples to be a great place for spare parts and the occasional tough repair.

Stemple’s is a great local place. We’ve had my son’s bike repaired twice here. It’s not cheap, but the work seems to be very good.

Service is great and they can fix any problems on a bike. the only problem I have is the prices. Everything is like expensive in this place. From bikes to helmets and seroiusly who has to wear a helmet on a bicyle. I know the owner is in a business, but her really needs to lower the prices. No reason a Bycycle should be as expensive here as it is.

a great local resource –service and support. Good selection of new bikes and accessories all kinds, especially helmets. Right off the Prairie Path — All the employees seem to have the right focus and attitude.
