Bishop’s Bicycles

I’ve taken my bike here for repair several times, usually for issues that arise while I’m on the trail. They are very helpful and not pushy in any way. Their prices are very reasonable, and they always look for a used part for me to keep the cost down. Multiple times they’ve fixed my bike in under s half hour and I was able to get back out on the trail. Can’t say enough about how great they are. Skip the chain store and get your bike worked on here. They also carry an extensive range of bikes and gear.

I really enjoy Bishop’s. I don’t write reviews — but this shop is totally deserving. I’ve brought in several bicycles that are not your typical run of the mill. They are great at finding solutions when modifications are desired, offering affordable options, and timely.

Excellent service, employees have extensive knowledge. I went in to replace my 15 year old tire pump. The guy working there informed me my Blackburn tire pump has a lifetime warranty and he fixed my pump at no charge.

While training for a Century Ride, I found myself in Cincinnati for a few days and needed to keep up with my training schedule. I have never been more impressed by a bike shop. When I arrived, the size road bike I was expecting they did not have in stock, so they came up with an alternative solution that blew me away.
They took plenty of time to make sure the rental bike was in perfect working order, including making sure it was sized appropriately for me. When I came back from my 75 miler about 5 hours later they still remembered my name. If you get this level of service for a $ 30 rental, I can only imagine what you might expect with a purchase. If you find yourself in Cincinnati needing a bike, this is the place to go.

I generally don’t take the time to write reviews, but Bishop’s bicycles treated my father so poorly that I feel I have no other choice. My father has Guillain-​Barré syndrome which left him in a wheelchair and with limited use of his hands. He went to Bishop’s bicycles to order new tires for his wheelchair and new tires for my grandmother’s bicycle. When he picked up the tires, the store owner told him that it would cost 2x more than it would to install bike tires, to install the tires on his wheelchair. When he explained that he thought it was $ 5 dollars per wheel and was happy to pay, the woman told him that wheelchairs were a pain to work on. He explained that his wheelchair had a single bolt design that made changing the wheels extremely easy, but because of his disability he could not do it himself. The woman, who told him ‘don’t bother complaining’, refused to help him unless he paid her $ 10 a tire.
In my opinion, this is a poorly run business that operates without ethical guidelines. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this review and I hope you find yourself at any of Cincinnati’s amazing bike shops other than Bishop’s!
Saved. Thanks!

Pricey, but staff is very helpful and accomodating. A nice selection of road, mountain and leisure bikes for all ages.

When they switched to new ownership about a year ago, their desire to make deals on purchase prices declined, but their overall service has remained high.
My general feeling is that they are nice people who generally know what they are talking about, and are willing to be helpful. It feels good to support a smaller, family run neighborhood business. They do a good job when they work on your bike and are willing to put the time in necessary to talk you through everything.
They don’t have the largest selection or the lowest prices, but they do have some of the best customer service that is surely behind their apparent strong customer loyalty.

I made my way into my third bike shop in a week, this time Bishop’s Bicycles in Milford. Bishop’s was founded in 1890 and has been serving cyclists for over 117 years now, although it hasn’t all been at the Milford location. After seeing the Montgomery location of Montgomery Cyclery and Loveland’s Cycle Sport it is easy to compare and contrast the shops.
Like Montgomery Cyclery and Cycle Sport, Bishop’s has a lot of bicycles, but many different brands. I saw a lot of Jamis, Schwin, and Fuji, while the store is also an authorized dealer of GT, SE, and Sun bikes. One thing I noticed was that Bishop’s had a lot of children’s bicycles, even for toddlers, more than Cycle Sport for sure. They also had the standard accessories including pedals and helmets, but I saw less clothing than at the other stores.
Bishop’s has a service center too in the back, where they offer basic tune-​ups for $ 45, complete overhauls for $ 95, and wheel truing for $ 10 and up per wheel. One thing that Bishop’s offers that I don’t believe the other two do is bike rentals, while they also have a wide variety of bikes including mountain and «trail» bikes, some of which are on their basement-​level floor.
Like the other two stores, the staff is knowledgeable and very willing to help, making Bishop’s a very good store as well. They also have a bulletin board with all kinds of flyers of local cycling events and opportunities, including the store’s own junior cycling team.
