“I was on a ride a long way from home when I broke my chain. Kozy was the closest shop and they did get me going again but at a great cost. They charged me $71 for a Shamano 9 speed chain installed. That same chain sells for 21 bucks on line and took minutes to install. The service was good and they were there in my moment of need but would not be my first choice for a planed purchase.”

“I love the people at Kozy's! I 've been buying bikes from them and having them serviced there for almost 2 decades. I just purchased a 2024 Jamis Copper Tone Renegade from Kozy's this week. My salesperson, Eric, was enthusiastic, friendly, super knowledgeable and patiently answered all my questions. Kozy's is a family-owned, local business and I am proud to support them. I highly recommend Kozy's for all your biking and biking accessory needs!”

“I did business at Kozys original shop.on 35th and south Ashland in the early 70's. The Schwinn Varsity was very popular at the time. 10 speeds and durable. Always treated like I bought the higher priced rides. Polite and service as well. When my Dad retired he bought a bike to get around the neighborhood. Ron Kozy and his staff treated him like gold. Free tune up is what my Dad called them. I'll never forget the shop for treating him so well.”

“I've always had such a pleasant experience at Kozy's on Halsted! Eric is super knowledgeable and friendly. I just got my first hybrid bike and I felt super intimidated and overwhelmed going into it not knowing what to buy. But there was no need as he picked out some perfect bikes for me to try based on my needs and explained everything to me with so much detail. It's great that you can take the bikes for test rides and I ended up getting such a smooth riding bike that I really enjoy. HIGHLY recommend Kozy's for all your biking needs!”

“Ok, TBH practically every bike shop you walk into in Chicago, the staff always seem completely put out and all eye-rolly that you have the audacity to ask a single question about anything especially, god forbid, the bike you want to purchase. I know like, *gasp* first of all, how f**kin dare we, right? But anyway, they immediately catch severe b***hface and literally treat you like you’re the dumbest f**k that ever dumbf**ked. Now picture a bike shop where the staff are the complete antithesis of what I just described as your average b***h-ass-b***h bike shop staff person with all of their dickery and totally misplaced vibrato about like bike culture or whatever… like seriously … a 6 year old can pedal a bike with ease, sir, calm down… but anyway, the OPPOSITE of all of that f**kery is Kozy. They are the absolute best! I’ve been there a few times and every time the staff really strives to make sure my experience in their shop goes far beyond my expectations. In fact, Dave, the guy who helped me today, was so attentive, patient, and asking the right questions to be sure that I was going to leave the shop well taken care of that I practically asked him on a date! JK, Dave! But anyway, do yourself a favor, go to Kozy for all of your biking what-have-yous. You will be very pleasantly surprised and satisfied with your experience. But don’t go in there acting a straight up fool, Kyle and Karen. They are people not miracle workers. There are some things they just can’t do because of warranty and liability factors beyond their control, ok? They will however, try to meet as many of your shopping/service needs as humanly possible. So be kind. I’m not trying to be an a**hole here… I mean sure, I have emotional issues and my therapist can’t stand me because of all of the rants similar to the on I just went on here, but that doesn’t make Kozy any less awesome! Go see for yourself!”

“I was recently in the market for a new gravel bike and after some online searching i found that Kozy’s had the bike i wanted. i live an hour south so i called to ask some questions. i talked to Emily at the Halsted store and we discussed what i was looking for. i am always in between a 54-56 so she arranged to get both bikes at her location so i could come in and compare. She was awesome to deal with. I arrived on a day when Emily was off but that’s when Eric took over. Eric helped me through the buying process and answered all questions i had and discussed options with me. i left with a new steel gravel bike and it has checked all my boxes. Emily and Eric both new their products and genuinely care about doing what is best for the customer. i hope the owner of Kozy’s reads these reviews because i would like to tell him that these two employees represent his business in the best way possible. I will make the drive in the future to purchase again from kozy’s……what a great experience!”

“I rarely write reviews but I had to after another amazing experience at Kozy’s! Everyone there is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Eric helped me find a new bike and was very patient (I’m not someone who is very well versed in bikes). He picked some great options for me to test ride, and I walked out with an awesome bike plus accessories for a very reasonable price. If you are looking for a new bike/have any bike needs I would highly recommend!!”

“Mark was great, spent time showing various options on my new bike. Made sure everything was up to my specifications before I left store. Graham was great explaining all the details before my purchase, most knowledgeable of all the shops we visited. Luis introduced my bike at the RV show. Just an awesome experience.”

“I don't usually write reviews but this place is amazing. We went to the store in downtown Chicago and we were in a rush to get my son a bike to commute around the university before I had to head to the airport. They didn't try to sell us an overpriced bicycle. They asked us what the need was (a simple bike to get around the campus) and sold us exactly what was needed. They adjusted the bike to fit my son and the mechanics made sure it was good to go. It's unfortunate that not other businesses are as ethical or helpful as these folks are. I would buy there again in a heartbeat! Kozy's rocks!!”

“The mechanic texted to inform me after performing a tuneup that he couldn't fix the rear disc brake because he couldn't find the part and had no idea when it would be available. He should have contacted me before proceeding because I would have nixed the transaction. So I was stuck with a 99 buck bill to retrieve my bike with a worthless and unsafe rear brake. I requested a refund and the store manager offered to reduce the bill by 16 dollars after trying to sell me a new bike. I have purchased several bikes from Kozy's in the past but you flunked Business 101 this time around. The tuneup/repair was clearly mishandled and I want a refund.”

“Great service and assistance, despite there being such a shortage of bicycles during the pandemic. My bike was properly tuned and adjusted to my frame upon purchase. Moreover, the included free tune-ups is a great add-on.”

“In July 2021 I bought a new e-bike from Kozy on Milwaukee. The sales person, Luis, could not find the key to the battery pack but assured me that he would get it to me quickly. I'm still waiting for the key. Kozy asked me to return the bike to the store for reasons I did not understand. They still have my bike. Luis keeps telling me that everything is under control. I no longer believe him. I have left a phone message for the owner, Paul Kozy, and hope I will hear back from him soon with a solution.”
