    Corona del Mar Outlook.  The most beautiful place in the world.  Love our ride.
    Jennifer B.

    My husband and I enjoyed a 90 minute tour of Corona del Mar with John. We are interested in buying an e-bike but wanted to try several to be sure we find the right one for us. We did!! John gave us the opportunity to try several bikes and we found the perfect one. I was very apprehensive about the ability to manage the bike but with John's assistance and patience explaining how the bikes work, we became comfortable in a short time. Highly recommend Cecil's.

    This was a great bike to ride.

    Great service, the boys who were working there on Sunday were so knowledgeable. They showed us how to use the electric bikes Etc.

    Saw this place on groupon, and decided to go check it out. I just had to call in to make a reservation. Everything was easy and Brandon was really nice. When I got there, there was several bikes I can choose, and all are the same price. My mother and I got the fat tire e-bikes, which were pretty cool looking. Brandon let us practice a little and we took the ferry across the peninsula. The bike pathway was a little more narrow compared to Santa Monica beach, but it was still empty enough to ride your bike (which we came at 10am on a weekday). Bikes were fast, no issues. If you take the pathway to the right when facing the beach, about 10 minutes in there is a basketball court and flat area you can bike freely on. It gets you closer to the ocean and fun to bike on. This bike shop is on Balboa island. We got there at 9:30am and were able to find free street parking about .3 miles away on a weekday in the summer. They also have nice bathrooms they allow customers to use, and are super nice. Can't wait to have another date.

    We were assisted by Eric and he was great. Easy access right off the 2 minute Balboa ferry. Bike choices were great, we had a blast.

    I can't know this shop when Pablo came across me on the river trail at night with a flat.

And figure it out is what Javier did. Now my road bike rides like it's brand new again. Quality work. Thanks!

    Our experience was very disappointing. We visited with the intention of purchasing three bikes and…read morespent approximately 30 minutes in the store without being acknowledged by any staff member. While I understand employees were busy assisting other customers, a simple greeting or acknowledgment would have gone a long way. During our time there, customers who arrived after us appeared to receive assistance first, particularly those interested in electric bikes. We continued to wait patiently and did not make an issue of it. Eventually, as an employee walked by, I politely asked a very simple question, whether the store offered delivery services. Rather than briefly answering or directing us to someone who could help, he responded, "I'm busy with another customer right now," without making eye contact. The interaction made us feel like an inconvenience The question would have helped us determine whether we were ready to move forward with purchasing. A little acknowledgment and basic customer service would have made a significant difference. Based on this experience, we will be taking our business elsewhere and would not return.
