Wilmette Bicycle & Sport Shop

Wilmette Bicycle & Sport Shop has sold bikes on the North Shore since 1932, which makes the Green Bay Road store one of the oldest retailers in the village. The shop stocks new bikes from several brands, from a child’s first bike to commuters and e-bikes, and keeps a used-bike selection as well. Mechanics do repairs and tune-ups and will assemble a bike a customer bought direct from a manufacturer. The sporting goods side supplies local teams, and the shop prints custom apparel. The store sits a short walk from the Wilmette Metra stop and the Green Bay Trail, with parking behind the building off Wilmette Avenue.
