I got my husband a bike that didn't come with a kickstand and no one could help me and the return window had passed. I took it to LA Cyclery as a last-ditch effort before just selling it on FB marketplace and buying a different one. I told them the situation and they quickly came up with a solution and basically MacGyver'd a kickstand onto the bike. So grateful for these folks!! read more

Great, knowledgeable and friendly full service tune up. They do have for purchase some helmets, add on bags and miscellaneous tools you might need. There is a parking lot in the back but the driveway is pretty narrow but not to worry I always find metered parking usually right in front. read more

They seemed very knowledgeable and they even cleaned up and adjusted a couple things that weren't even on the original quote. I will definitely use them in the future! read more

Paula and her team are the best! There's so many reasons why LA Cyclery is my favorite bike shop in the city, but at the top of the list is Paula and how knowledgeable and welcoming she is. Paula has always gone above and beyond beyond to help me out with bike stuff and provide high quality service. I've been biking in cities across the country for 20 years and never once has a bike mechanic removed and cleaned my crankset during a standard tune up. It sparkled like new, I couldn't believe my eyes. Paula also sold me & customized my new (used) gravel bike this month and I absolutely love it! It really felt like we collaborated on my vision together to make something special I will ride for years to come. Ditch your car, get a bike! Go to LA Cyclery! read more

LA Cyclery - My new (used) gravel bike from a '96 Cannonade MTB Paula had at the shop. She customized the handlebars, cable housing, and pedals for me. - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They fixed my bicycle that had issue with bearing. I will come back later if or when i decided to buy new bike. This will be the new shop i will be coming back for everything. read more

First time in this shop, I needed some help mounting my U lock and also had some basic road bike questions (how to take the wheel off, seat height, etc) and they were incredibly helpful and kind!! I will definitely be back when I need a tune up or have any other questions! Great staff, funny dog, welcoming environment! read more

Paula is fantastic. I've brought both my electric and 'acoustic' bike here from time to time for tune-ups, minor maintenance repairs, etc. She's incredibly knowledgeable and capable, and I've also noticed that unlike some other bike places, she never 'talks down' to people like me who are only casual bikers and don't know all the ins and outs of repair/maintenance/etc. Prices very reasonable as well. read more

I had asked some friends where to take my bike when I was having an issue and multiple people said GO SEE PAULA at LA Cyclery. The moment I walked in the door, it felt like going to visit a best friend's house. Paula and team assessed my bike and fixed it on the spot - not to mention little chihuahua Frijol keeping me company while I waited. Highly recommend - 10/10! read more

The location is on sunset however you can find parking around the corner. The service was great! Super attentive and tell you what you need as to trying to overcharge for the things you do not. The person who helped us had a ton of knowledge and explained in details what was needed for our bike. They were also very flexible with the pick up which was awesome. Definitely highly recommend. :) read more

Just picked up my e-bike from getting tuned up and brakes fixed. Was a little nervous finding the right shop since this is my 1st ebike. But now it looks nice and new just like when I bought it; and rides even better. Very happy I found this bike shop. And it's right next to a bike lane so very convenient. I've been to other bike shops in the area and they just left me feeling awkward, no positive interactions. As a female I feel confident coming here knowing the staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, and not trying to upsell me or rip me off. This is definitely the only bike shop I will go to from now on. Plus they have a super cute chihuahua. read more

LA Cyclery - My bike after a tune up. - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Premium little shop with premium prices and premium service. I appreciate the "get it right the first time" value they offer. Extremely knowledgeable repair staff--these are the people that will fix that tricky issue and make solid recommendations. They don't stock much but can order just about anything. read more

OG bike shop. Fixed my flat, super quick. $20. Has a cute shop lap dog. Opened exactly on time. Perfect experience

Paula, the owner is building a strong community of cyclists with her kind and knowledgeable service. The shop is small but she has, or can get anything you need for cycling. I went in having lost the brakes on my e-bike I use to transport my eight year old. She repaired (not replaced) my brake lever, replaced the cable and housing and pads in twenty minutes. Now I have total confidence in the bike. She gave a more than fare price. Please support this shop, the community needs it. read more

I was surprised and disappointed by the way I was treated at this bike shop. I am not sure what went wrong, but I would not recommend this shop to anyone looking for a friendly local bike shop. I came in asking if they could help me with a flat on my wheelchair, but the person in the shop just said "We don't work on wheelchairs, you need to leave now," and was holding the door open for me before I could even explain that I didn't need any work done on my chair-- I needed a new tube in a standard bike size on a wheel made by a high-end bike wheel company (Spinergy). The person shooed me out so quickly I couldn't even ask to wait for my ride inside with the air conditioning. The shop was totally empty, not a single customer in the 45 mins I waited outside, so it's not like I would have been in the way. I think it might have had something to do with their dog. As soon as I came in, the dog was running towards me and barking. The person said the barking dog was okay, but they did ask the dog to "go to bed" when I said I wasn't comfortable with the dog barking at me. The dog didn't "go to bed" and ran underneath my wheelchair instead. I asked the person to please keep their dog out from under my wheels, because that's just not safe for me or the dog, but the person kicked me out instead. I was hopeful when I saw the trans flag, but after being treated like that it's pretty clear that this is not a very welcoming space. I'm more than happy to discuss the interaction to try and work this out, but I'm really coming away at a total loss for words. read more

LA Cyclery is more than a bike shop - it's a community. When I was looking for a new bike, Paula was endlessly generous with her expertise and time. I was coming back to biking after a long break and never felt judged, shamed, or excluded based on my sometimes very basic questions. She listened thoughtfully to what I wanted and helped me find the perfect bike. She and her team are knowledgeable, skilled, inclusive, and kind. LA Cyclery is the only place I will ever bring my bike for upgrades, tuneups, repairs and any other needs. I love going to LA Cyclery, not only for the excellent care they give my bike, but for the care they give to customers and the surrounding community. Thank you, Paula and team! read more

I'm so grateful for LA Cyclery! I started out a bike novice and am slowly getting there with the knowledge and help from Paula and her team. They've been efficient, communicative, and kind every time I go. Having Frijol greet you at the door is the best part! :) read more

Paula and her staff are all so knowledgeable and welcoming. Went in there as a total beginner and they walked me through everything. Will be back for all my bike needs! read more

I absolutely love this place. They are so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about bikes. It also just has a really nice atmosphere that makes you feel like you are a part of a community. They go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. I definitely recommend this place. read more

TLDR: Basically, didn't get any at all of that horrible "going to the bike shop as a woman" feeling. Great bike shop! Excellent selection of quality parts, great mechanical service, quick, and not too pricey (it's not the cheapest shop around but quality work rarely is). Really great service as well. They are patient and explain your bike: spoke through the possible issues, identified what needed to be fixed now and what could wait and what I should keep in mind for the future, and let me decide what I wanted. read more

I've brought my bike here and have always had an amazing experience. Paula is very attentive and was able to find the right wheel for my vintage bike from the 1960s. Extremely fair price and look forward to coming back again! read more

Paula threatened to "f*** me up" if I ever stepped foot in the store again, after they botched a steerer tube trim and somehow destroyed the compression plug. I thought this shop advertised as being a safe space, but I suppose not. Maybe one day Silver Lake will have a truly inclusive and competent bike shop. read more

I love this store and Paula, the owner. She is attentive, and unlike other bike shops, doesn't assume that I don't know anything about bikes! She has always given me great advice for bike purchases, as well as riding skills. This is a wonderful community hub, and I would recommend stopping by, both to newbie and experienced riders. Paula's knowledge and kindness is INVALUABLE! read more

I just moved to echo park and wanted to find a shop to fix my flat and tune it up. The closest shop I went to said they didn't service e bikes which was a shame. Good thing I found LA cyclery. They were professional and did great work. My bike looks brand new. Please support them! You won't be disappointed. read more

Love this shop! Paula is great at what she does and is so nice and helpful. Highly recommended!

This group is amazing! So kind and helpful feels line a fun community when you walk in.

This place is great. My second time here and again they tuned my bike perfectly. Gears were making noises prior so I brought my bike in. My bottom bracket was trashed (as is typical for BB30) so Paula installed a new one, tuned my bike and cleaned my drive train. They were able to take me immediately and fix my bike up with very fast turn around compared to other bike shops in the area. read more

Very professional, courteous and responsive. I took my wife's bike in for a cable brake replacement and they were able to turn it around in a quick time and with a very reasonable price. I will definitely go to them again for my business. read more

Wonderful shop and friendly service. Really knowledge about bikes and helped me decide what accessories to order online, since she didn't have them in the store. Women owned and operated! Paula is the sweetest. Excited to go back. read more

What can I say! Paula is the best. She was sensitive to my needs and concerns and is sooo knowledgeable about bikes. Will be coming to see her again soon. read more

A good neighborhood bike shop is the most important part of your local cycling community, and Paula has built a top-notch shop right here in Silver Lake. I started mountain biking during the pandemic, and Paula has helped me go from newbie to full on bike nerd. I really didn't know anything about bike maintenance or bikes in general but Paula always makes you feel comfortable. She's always willing to drop what she's doing to help adjust my gears before a ride, and she gives great advice on smart, cost effective upgrades to keep me out on the trails. This a great shop to pick something up for a ride or just to hang out with other like-minded cyclists in the neighborhood. You'll always get great advice on the best bike parts, great new trails and awesome group rides. I am moving out of the neighborhood, but this will always be my go-to shop. read more

This will be my go to bike shop. Paula was knowledgeable and very friendly. Thanks Paula for the awesome service.

I love this bike shop, very attentive, professional service. I've brought my bikes here and man did they get serviced right! Recently my specialized FSR was checked out and after taking it to many other reputable bike and spending money on it I was feeling discouraged about it not getting fixed, all I gotta say is that Paula took the time to diagnose it, fixed it and brought it back to life. I can't be thank enough for doing that. Bring your bike in and you'll see what I mean. read more

I love this bike shop! Unfortunately it's hard to find even though it's on Sunset Boulevard. LOL. So friendly, and helpful. And great prices. It's a little bitty bike shop that punches above its weight. Help support it! read more

Paula's shop is a huge asset to the bike community in Los Angeles -- no pretense or condescension, willing to help any level of cyclist get on the road! She helped rebuild my road bike and I couldn't be happier. Please support this great little bike shop! read more
