Bluestem Bicycles

Its one of the most well equipped and knowledgable bike shops I've been to. I always enjoy chatting with the staff. They are always welcoming, skillful, and modestly priced. I have gone there for many years and continue to even being in Sioux Falls because they just do quality stuff. It's just one of those gems of a store, and honestly just what I was looking for in a bike shop.

Took my bike in for a rear wheel repair. Caleb got it fixed for me in very quick fashion and I was back on the road. Their shop is full of great products with a great selection of approachable bike builds that won’t break your bank account😁highly recommend and will be a returning customer. Thanks again.

Had a friend get me into cycling. And I am an old flat ground BMX guy. When I tell you my mind blew when I walked into this shop. I've been in there more than a few times now and I still find something new and rad! The guys behind the counter are knowledgeable and so polite. If your looking for a new bike or something for a kid. Look no further. They can help you find any bike to fit any need!!

I like this place. The owner was friendly, the bike parts such as handlebar tape were reasonably priced (10 dollars versus 45 dollars at other place... not paying 45-50 dollars for handlebar tape) and I found a great made in Germany air pump for sale there. I know not much of a pitch right? I'm a cheapskate that likes to maintain his own bike so it's hard for me to give business to local bike shops, but I like to help where I can. This guy will get my parts business in the future.

We purchased a new woman's bike this weekend from Bluestem. They were the only place that had one available in Brookings for under $500. We were camping in the area and they were able to accommodate us in getting it assembled before we left the area. Our daughter really likes the bike. Staff was helpful and friendly. We would recommend this bike shop and we will be using them for our bike repairs & maintenance.

Great guys and lots of different bikes to look at and ride too and ride on.

Incredibly helpful staff! I bought several gifts for bike loving family members at Bluestem. They have tons of fun accessories like different shaped bike bells. I bought a tea kettle shaped bell for my bike and they even put it on for me! They really care about their customers which makes going in there fun and easy. No matter if I need a repair, a new bike, or just a fun water bottle, they are there to help! Thanks Bluestem!

I walked in at 3:58 pm on a Saturday. They close at 4. I was informed they were closed now but I could look around. Looked at bikes and asked some questions and they were glad to answer. I did not feel hurried at all. These guys are awesome! I decided this would be the place to service my bike or buy a new one. I purchased nothing but received good service.... I will be back!

In the process of hunting down the perfect stem for a bicycle I was building I came across Bluestem Bicycles and their online inventory. Not only did they have a vintage new-old stock stem that fit the bill, but they were able to sell it for a very reasonable price and ship it to me very quickly. I'm very happy with the piece that came. Couldn't ask for much more. Thank you!

I originally took my carbon frame to Bluestem as I was wigging out about a frame fracture. Caleb examined the bike, explained his assessment and let me ask questions. It was obvious he loves bikes and he knows a lot about bikes. I was very comfortable with his assessment and overjoyed to find a true bike specialist. I was so pleased I asked Caleb to rebuild my bike from the carbon frame up with all new Shimano Ultegra parts. This is THE bike shop you want.

Daughter’s bike was damaged in a bike on bike accident on campus this week. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and they were able to quickly diagnose what all needed to be fixed. And they were able to squeeze in the repair as we were just traveling thru town to help our daughter after her accident. They got the repairs done quickly and made sure the whole bike was looked over and safe. And when we picked up the bike a little later they even gave us an SDSU discount. Very pleasant experience and they did a wonderful job. Would highly recommend for your bike needs.

My husband is a bike guy, so we stop at Bluestem whenever we’re in town! He always finds something he needs for his latest bike project, and he loves talking bikes with the staff. I got an amazing vintage Schwinn there a few years ago that I love!!

Very helpful in choosing a bike that suits my riding style. Will for sure do business with again.

They were very helpful and nice. Had the parts needed to fix my bike problem on hand. They also knew what they were doing. If you want your bike fixed right, the first time bring it here.

If you need a bike...Bluestem Bicyles is the shop to go to!! They worked with me to find just the right bike to take my biking to a higher level. They know their stuff! They treat you like family, not just some money walking in their doors!! Highly recommend them!!!

I talked to them on the phone and my daughter took her bike there great customer service (caleb) and fast service! Would definitely use them again and highly recommend!! Thanks!!

Finally, a great LBS! We only had one shop in town until these guys opened up, and it was like a breath of fresh air. This shop reminds me of the places we had back in Austin, TX. The guys working there ride single speeds and fixed gear as well, so if that's your thing, they know what you are talking about. I just picked up a new chainring from them for just a shade over internet price, but I'm happy to drive business their way. The mechanics are friendly, and the bikes are not too crazy expensive. From now on, I'll be sending people over to Bluestem for bike needs, and telling them to stay away from the "other" shop. All in all, friendly staff, good prices, and no elite attitude. This shop is a winner, and I hope they stick around.

Very knowledgeable with a genuine care about cycling and sustainable transportation. I love that they're so involved in and devoted to the community of Brookings as well.
From custom bikes to funky accessories, stickers, t-shirts, and other bicycle related memorabilia, they've got an awesome selection and an endlessly helpful team.

Absolutely great! Caleb has gone above and beyond to help me out. I probably ask way too many questions 🙄 but I'm so grateful for the information! It's the only place I go to now, real people, not just sales guys. Really passionate people. Highly recommended!

They are a group of guys that know their stuff and are great for their service. I bought my E-bike from them and customer service is on point.
