Bacchetta Bikes - Test riding a trike! - Bikes Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Chain would shift by itself, did not know why. Had tune up done. Everything works great. Also had my wheels trued. Work performed in timely fashion. Only place close enough to me that works on Recumbents. I will be going back. read more

I'm 6'8", so this was the only stock trike that would fit me. My last two-wheeler was a custom-frame Gunnar. So I made the trek to Bent Up Cycles in North Hollywood from Orange County, and bought a non-electric Trek Max with XXL boom. Not cheap, but excellent value for a solid trike that fits me well. After a few dozen miles of cruising I will always be happy that I didn't try to go cheap. Particular kudos to shop owner Dana and his assistant, who gave me a terrific delivery fitting session. The initial ride around the North Hollywood neighborhood on Los Angeles city streets (no trails nearby) was nearly perfect. A couple more pre-delivery adjustments and the bike was ready to take on anything -- well, except maybe the Hollywood Freeway, which is unfit even for automobiles! And I love the nearly fluorescent yellow color. Incredibly visible even in late afternoon Southern California traffic. The bike fits perfectly into my Honda CR-V, and tomorrow I'll head up to Bonelli Regional Park in eastern Los Angeles County for the first post-delivery ride. Many thanks to your company and my dealer for an outstanding ride to replace my upright 2-wheeler. read more

Bent Up Cycles has a great selection and great staff. I recently "needed" to get a recumbent etrike, and they can be hard to find. Dana, the owner, guided me through their selection of etrikes--made trickier by the current pandemic and my own inchoate and poorly-stated desires--and helped me decide. I'm now riding my initially non-electric Catrike Dumont, with the Bosch motor arriving soon; they'll install it when the shipment arrives in a month or so. (Splitting this process helps me to get started riding sooner. Thanks a bunch, supply chain disruptions!) I was very pleased that Dana doesn't mind answering my noobie questions, like "How do I get on?" and "What kinds of locks work best with these?" I'm pleased enough with the whole experience that I happily traveled two hours there each way, once to look around and once to buy my trike--and I'll be going back for the Bosch motor installation. It's not perfect, of course. The terrain surrounding the shop is awfully flat, making it hard to see how well the gearing works. And it's too far away from my house two hours away. Still, I like Bent Up Cycles a whole lot. If you're shopping for a recumbent, it's a must-see. read more

The staff at Bent Up has been excellent in customizing my recumbent. I was injured and they customized my bike to allow me to ride in an injured athlete triathlon. read more

I purchased a new Catrike Expedition.That was the best buying experience I have had in a long time. Dana gave me the white glove treatment. He showed me every inch of the trike answering every question I had. There were no high-pressure sales tactics or up-sales. I even changed my mind on an accessory but Dana was very supportive. If there was an item I wasn't sure about he would chime in as to whether or not I actually needed it. He saved me money. I left happy and satisfied. Thanks again Dana! read more

I ride an older titanium Bacchetta Aero Basso and lead rides twice a week for the Greater Arizona Bicycle Association in Tucson, AZ. As a GABA ride leader I carry tools that might come in handy if one of the riders has a mechanical problem, which means that I need a bag that attaches to the back of my recumbent's seat. The zipper on my 20 year old Bacchetta Xeyed Brain Box finally gave up the ghost and couldn't be repaired. A search on the internet brought me to Bent Up Cycles and to my very pleasant surprise they had one in stock and are shipping it to me. If you're ever in Tucson, you can find our rides by going to bikegaba.org and clicking on the Day Rides button, which will take you to our MeetUp calendar. Bruce Tucker read more

Under a year ago I purchased a second hand GreenSpeed Magnum XL that was a basket case. Although it was in horrendous shape the frame and wheels were great. I knew that I wanted a project to make it my own, I fixed or replaced the parts on the bike to make it rideable but kinda stressed out on how to make it the vision I wanted. So I reached out to Bent up Cycles thru consulting with them and their expertise the trike is now the vision. A Rohloff 14 speed rear hub that has been flawless, a Efneo 3 speed headset( I added ). Thru the experience I have learned that instead of trying to do it all myself it was so much easier( and cheaper )just to ask Raina for advice and have Her do the work. The new chain and flared chain tubes that were installed yesterday look absolutely fantastic, not to mention the beach ride after the install was the smoothest and fastest so far. The lesson learned is save yourself the hassle/headache and take your recumbent to Bent up Cycles and let the professionals do the work. MadChad read more

My first recumbent experience sold me on this laid back ride. That was about 25 years ago in Dana Lieberman's back yard. His stores opened a few years later and I've been a multiple bike customer ever sense. As the trikes came along I migrated to three wheels. Then came the electric assists that are so popular now. Through all these changes and advancements, Bent Up Cycles has been on the cutting edge. Raina and Dana know their business and will take time educating you with information and test rides. Try a trike at Bent Up Cycles. It will change your life!! read more

I've left a review before about bent up cycles, but it's worth restating because every time I go there I have the same very positive customer experience. Their knowledge of their products and their congeniality make it a pleasure to do business with them. read more

My experience was absolutely perfect.I only wish there were at least 10 stars I could give. Dana the owner of the Bent up Cycles (bentupcycles.com) is a total professional: personable, knowledgeable, courteous and no pressure. He assessed my needs for a perfect recumbent trike, let me test ride it and answered all my questions. As well, he is very responsive to any and all of my inquires. He's the type of person you wish all people would be especially when making a very considerable decision in terms of finances and lifestyle. Dana is also the type of person who you would enjoy talking to as a friend. I am very happy with him and his dealership and will look for any opportunity to recommend him to any people I know in the area who want to buy a trike. read more

I needed a tandem on short notice. In mid December 2019, I had to abruptly change plans to meet my goals in my around the world tour. More details at cyclonomad.com I called Dana. He carefully explained a few acceptable options and promptly assembled estimates. The biggest limitation was time. I needed a bike ready to ride in Bangkok in less than a month. A recumbent was strongly preferred, but not possible through normal channels Welll here I am less than a month later ready to continue my tour. Dana has abilities you won't find elsewhere. He told me that he builds relationships, it's a much larger task than just building bikes. Tim Woudenberg read more

The frustration these days is that the supply chain really sucks. It is not Bent up cycles fault that so many of the products needed for recumbents are just not available. I was able to order a new idler for my Agio. Hopefully it will not take too long for the product to arrive. The website is a little glitchy on my Mobile device, but it does work. I am looking forward eventually to receive a my new product. In the past I have found that Bent up cycles is extremely responsive to issues when they occur and they are in a position to rectify them. read more

I'm going to start by acknowledging the sheer pleasure of Covid precautions. I bought my recumbent trike from Dana and so far have become the age group 24 hour time trial world champion and set 5 world records. But that isn't as important as the fact that each customer is treated perfectly and with undivided attention. I will never go anywhere else. read more

I bought my recumbent from Bent Up Cycles 7 years ago and have put many miles on it. I service it at least every 2 years, but more often if needed. Today was service day. I live far away from the Burbank store (about 80 miles) and the folks at Bent Up Cycles work very hard to ensure that I only have to make one trip for service. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this. They go above and beyond when it comes to satisfying customers. Besides that, they are just nice people. :) read more

Now we will test and get to riding them, so exciting read more

I visited their store yesterday (Appointment only) and was met by the owner Dana. Reina dropped in later. I spoke on the phone with her initially. She answered my Many questions and set an appointment for me to visit. From the outset, Dana was truly a pleasure to do business with . He is very smart when it comes to recumbents and not only explained the differences in models and brands but gave me confidence in the 3 wheel model that I chose. I test rode the actual model that I eventually purchased (Catrike Villager), truly terrific to ride. Dana custom fit all of the characteristics of the bike to my body so that it would be just perfect to ride right away. He also installed some accessories that I asked him for, and showed me how to operate them. Got up this morning and put a few miles on the trike Could not be more pleased Thank you Dana and Reina for making my visit so pleasant and prepping my trike so well. Robert read more

This is an incredible recumbent bike shop. When you're ready to go over to the dark side of cycling this should be your fist (and maybe) your only stop. Why call it the 'dark side? ' Because you only see FOGs (fat old guys) riding recumbents! I don't know about you, but I would rather be associated with a sport that has Lance Armstrong as our poster boy. So you gotta wanna really ride one of these bikes. If you ride a recumbent you will be laughed at and ridiculed by those snobby greyhounds on their $10K road bikes. I moved over to the dark side after getting a million bike fits to get rid of numb hands, sore crotch, burning feet and tight shoulders. Or maybe I should say tried to get rid of these problems inherent in riding a road bike. Enough about me, let's get to the review on the bike shop! I purchased recumbent bike in 2007 and love it. Now I want a trike. I stopped by yesterday and spent 3 hours at the shop. I was warmly greeted by Kate who took the time to get to know me and determine how much I know about recumbents. She took the time to educate me about the different types of trikes. I had done some research so I knew which model I was interested in riding. BTW - I brought my cycling shoes, shorts, and helmet with me. The trike I wanted to test has an extreme reclining position. But Kate did not let start with that trike. Instead I rode a trike with a more upright seat. Then I road one with a seat with more of a recline then I rode the one I was interested in (Catrike Exposition) . I felt like Goldilocks - this was too upright, this was too reclined but this one was just right! Kate made sure I had water between rides. We also discussed the pros and cons of folding trikes and suspension. They didn't have trikes with suspension but she said she would call as soon as they get some in. This is a shop that gives excellent service. I know when I buy my trike, I will be happy with the purchase! read more
