I've been having a good time getting to know Aytan at Truly Spoken Cycles. He's been both helpful and knowledgeable, plus I'd say with the bike heavy demographic in Riverwest it's about time we got a shop a bit closer (though I can't truly complain with Cory's, Bikesmiths, and Crank Daddy's just across the river). I just wonder how much longer that tiny shop will be able to hold him.

Wares is no longer in business... but Allis Bike (which has been in business for over 50 years) gets no mention?

There are many fine shops in the city, but for me, the sun rises and sets at Ben's. A super friendly staff, great selection of bikes and a willingness to work within my budget without trying to browbeat me into an upsale. They are also really active in the community. It has been a treat to watch them grow and revitalize a neighborhood that was in drastic need of some new blood. There's a reason that Ben's Cycles has been a Milwaukee staple for 3 generations. They just get it right.
