Bicycle Michael’s at 622 Frenchmen St in the Faubourg Marigny has served New Orleans since 1983 as an old-school full-service bike shop with a mechanic on duty. The operation covers expert repairs, rentals, custom bicycles, and wheel building, with electric bike sales part of the mix and competent e-bike fixes on the bench. Its atmosphere is a theme in itself: the classic old-school bike shop with the smell of new rubber and parts stacked deep, where Michael and Tim know exactly what they are doing. An emergency wheel true by Tim was quick and skillful, and friendliness with quality customer service runs through the shop’s story, plus the shop dog. Complaints deserve a plain mention: two customers had rude rental service with poorly tuned bikes, and one alleges a threat of violence. Hours conflict across sources and are left unspecified. The shop does not perform recreational electric-scooter repair, which is why that category is absent. For Marigny riders, this is a long-tenured repair bench with e-bike competence, rentals, and a distinctly old-school floor.
