great communication and fast response. Would recommend purchasing from them. insanely fast shipping times also!

I bought my son's bike here, and they were very helpful in choosing the right bike for my 6-year-old son.

I've had nothing but great experiences at Live for Bikes. Carlos, the owner and mechanic, is friendly, professional, and really knows his stuff. He takes the time to explain repairs, gives honest advice, and always makes sure the bike is running perfectly. The service is fast and reliable. His prices are the best all around town. Carlos truly cares about his customers and his work. I highly recommend Live for Bikes for anyone shopping for a bike or needing reliable bike repairs or service. read more

I bought my first road bike here two months ago. Before buying it, he knew I was new to the sport. Which is why I want to warn any new buyers - Beware of the free cycling shoes you get. I could not find these pair of shoes he gave me online anywhere. I think it must've been a cheap bulk buy and he's trying to get rid of them by "promoting" free shoes with bike purchase. He also failed to mention they are not compatible with my pedals. (Which he installed) When I first tried them on, the clip became loose while clipped in. And when you're cycling, clipping out incorrectly could cost you to fall. Which I did and my knee was severely injured. Thanks to his cheap free shoes. Beware of buying shoes from him, it can cost you your knee like it did for me. I went to another bike shop and they told me the shoe/pedal combo were the cheapest low quality they've ever seen read more

There are many bike shops in the Bellflower area and many options for buying a bike. However, this is the only place I trust to buy a bike, get it tuned up, or to get repairs done. The customer service is top of the line and everyone gets help when walking in. Recently, I bought a bike and they let me trade in my fixie. My son and I restored it and brought it back to the shop and they knocked it out. See the pictures! I am a lifelong customer. Thank you!! read more

Live 4 Bikes - Park in back and bring a mask - Bikes Near Me - Bellflower, California

I made an internet purchase of an item I couldn't find anywhere else. After looking at other categories on the website I bought a few more things that caught my eye. When the items shipped I received an email letting me know that there would be two packages. Shortly after I received a follow up call from the shop with the same message. Good communications! The items in each shipment were well packed with protective foam. Very happy with the product selection, my purchase and the customer service from Live 4 Bikes. read more

Live 4 Bikes - My new Beaumont Retrospec electric bike! - Bikes Near Me - Bellflower, California

Don't bother going, if you do, make sure the young kid helps you out. I really had to return to their shop because I got helped out by this older gentleman that didn't even know what he was talking about or doing. I needed a brake adjustment and all this man did was tighten two bolts as he made eye contact with me and proceeded to tell me afterwards "that'll be $15 dollars" the money wasn't the issue the fact that I had to return and have my brakes actually adjusted correctly by the younger gentleman that took his time and actually looked like he knew what he was doing read more

I started coming here when I moved in with my bf in Downey about a year ago. Cool spot with a variety of parts and bikes! Customer service is great and gentleman is friendly. They fixed my bike in a timely manner and called me with updates. Prices are reasonable. Check them out! read more

So I came back to return a new and unused tool that I was recommended by the staff for a refund and was denied despite the fact of it still being perfectly sealed in the box so that was my first issue. I also had to bring in my bike to have a freewheel installed since the tool I got from their shop was too small to do it myself at home and the mechanic who happened to work on my bike scratched the paint of my brand new SE bike I've ridden twice now without dropping it myself. Super disappointing and I personally wouldn't recommend this place for those two issues, they're plenty of other bike shops around. read more

They helped to talk us through the options and we were very happy with the product and service. Highly recommend this place! Make sure you come in the rear, they have a big parking lot that you can try out the bikes. read more

Rear Cassette loose, Performance Bicycle says it was not torqued down to specifications, which as a novice bike mechanic, I can attest to that. The carbon handlebar is frayed due to the routing cables being routed tighter than it should have been. An expensive carbon handlebar is frayed. I'm sure it was a difficult task to route the cable, but let me know if the integrity of a carbon handlebar has been compromised so that I'm not in danger. I will need to replace the handlebar later and have to route a cable now on the outside instead of the inside to reduce further damage. I had to go back a few days to get parts that were missing and to be fair, they did their best to replace them and get them from other newer bikes there. I just wish that the mechanic paid more attention to detail, and may be admitted to his boss that he may have taken a job that otherwise was bigger than he could manage. A cassette being loose is no joke, especially when I'm ascending and descending mountains. If you can take anything from this, please pay attention to detail. Look at how other bikes are built, parts are installed, so that you do it the right way, the way the manufacturer intended these parts and components to be installed. I keep questioning how the rest of the bike is, and I don't feel safe. I think the owner is nice, and has good intentions, and because he did not personally work on the bike, not sure I can fault him. But I can't say I'll return. Sometimes spending more money to have it done right the first time, is worth more than the anxiety, headache and stress you feel for supporting a local shop and thinking it'll be done right. read more

Bought this bike in February 2021 so far great bike and very inexpensive. 1st time going to a bike shop it was very simple. The bike is basic has no special gears my 12 year old son loves it. The guy at the store helped him select the bike which he had him try a few bikes and had him select which one was more comfortable. Now I will be visiting this bike shop to purchase a bike for myself as a Mother's Day present but I told my husband I want to go myself to pick my bike they had a great selection. The staff is friendly and I loved how much they catered to us. Even though they were a little busy it was a Sunday they managed to get to everyone. I didn't want to go anywhere else after their great customer service. read more

Thank you again, Happy customer read more

If you are looking to buy a new bike, I recommend you go somewhere else or save your money. This shop offers no kinda of warranty for new bikes. I bought a new bike from this shop; after the first ride on a flat bike path at the beach, I notice the frame was slightly bent, I immediately took the bike back to the shop and told them that I just bought this bike and it came defective. They told me that they couldn't do anything about it and my "new GT" didn't have warranty. I had to contact GT myself, and they sent me to a nearby GT authorized dealer and that's where they help me out with the claim and I walked out with a new GT bicycle with WARRANTY at no cost. read more

What can I say about Live4Bikes? 1. Even though it's not a chain store, it's family owned, and they have a lot of bikes here. Anything from beach cruisers, fixies, bmx bikes, hybrid bikes, road bikes, and more bikes I don't know the names of. 2. If you want something that's not in their store, they can get it for you fast, especially if it's a Zyclefix brand fixie. They can get you a bike from that brand as soon as the next day. 3. Huge variety of bike parts, and bike accessories. 4. They are willing to work with you, and are extremely patient with you. I'm new to road biking and I can't count how many times I've come here for all my bike problems and needs, especially with my road bike. Carlos (Owner) is very very knowledgable with road bikes, well really with all types of bikes. He and his staff are so nice, patient, and if they can't fix your problem, they'll get someone who can! 5. They don't overcharge!!! I've gone to other bike shops that shall not be named, and they wanted to charge me some ridiculous prices even for installing simple things such as road handle bars, among other things. They don't try and scrape off as much money as they can off of you, and they will so the best they can to work with you. 6. If your a Bianchi, Felt, Fuji, or Micargi lover, they've got it. 7. Want a used bike? They have a huge selection here for very good prices, really good prices. 8. Carlos and family, I love your shop, service, and I really like your selection. Keep up the good work! read more

Live 4 Bikes - Felt & Bianchi Road Bikes! Sweet bikes! - Bikes Near Me - Bellflower, California

Purchased my first "adult" bike, went in to check out what's available and to get measured for the right bike. Hector showed me a couple of bikes and the ins and outs of each bike. Definitely didn't feel like being on a used car lot with a salesperson trying to haggle you for a sell. Went back a few days later to actually pick up the bike, met Hector's wife who's showed me some of the essentials to grab with my bike. The whole process never felt like a "transaction", everyone there that I interacted with including the bike mechanic (sorry man I forgot your name) was very pleasant and down to earth. I'll definitely be back, if you're in the area do yourself a favor and stop by this shop. Support Local Business...Support Small Business. read more

I needed to find a pretty specific bike part (cassette spacer) and they were able to help me right away, amazing personal service.

I just so happen to be in the area of this shop from L.A. with my bike in my car. My bike had a piece bent into a tire to where it wouldn't turn. I was helped immediately with no problem at all! Very nice people. I will drive back from L.A. if I need anything else for my hybrid or road bike. I will also check with them if I ever want to purchase another bike. read more

So I came here to get maintenance on both my bikes. They did a great job. My only issue. The older lady I'm guessing the owner. Didn't seem like the friendliest person in the world. read more

Miguel was very helpful. He made sure everything was tight before testing out the bike and after checking out we bought a bike rack but wasn't able to stay put so he didn't feel comfortable letting us leave with it like that. He took it off and we got a refund for the item. Definitely recommended!! Great prices!! read more

Gave this place a chance to sell my bike. Completely lowballed me which I understand because they have to make a profit. When we agreed to a number, the older Hispanic lady said under her breath in Spanish to go lower because of condition. If I didn't know Spanish I would have been cheated out of a deal. Then when I told the lady how much we agreed on she tried to cheat me out of $5 by not handing me the right change. It was ridiculous. I get times are tough but I felt every opportunity they were trying to cheat me out. Will not return read more

Purchased a Micargi Road Bike from them a couple months ago. They said it was road checked but you cannot get the front derailer to shift on the big ring. Have gone back multiple times to ask them to look at this only to be told we're really busy right now. I paid $650 for something I can't fully use and just keep getting told to busy for repairs. You're not to busy, you're putting new bikes together. Stop and take 15min to fix the issue I'm asking about since all your bikes supposedly come with a full warranty. read more
