This is the best bike shop in the valley! I recently bought a vintage bike due to the increase in gas prices (I know everyone else is thinking about it too). I came in knowing bare minimum on bikes. However, Ulysses was super wise and insightful with anything and everything about bikes. He helped revitalize this bike and modified it to my needs. He was honest and communicative through every step of the build. The work speaks for itself! Would recommend 10/10!! The price is also very reasonable and worth it. read more

Definitely recommend this bike shop. Ulysses helped me pick out the perfect bike for what I needed. He schooled me on how to upkeep it. He also helped show me how to take off the front wheel and put it back on as I'd be putting it in the back of my car most times. He was very thorough and attentive to all my questions. Great shop, great customer service and most of all... great bike!! Highly recommend. read more

Great bike shop! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Had them put my bike together that I got on Amazon, looks great. Appreciate the help!

Ulysses is the best. Took my bike in for a tube change and a tune-up. He did a great refresh on the bike and I trust his honest assessment on all the moving parts. No hesitation where I'll go the next time I have bike needs. read more

Couple new guys working there, much friendly than previous employees. Installed my kick stand for free

Great people working here. They know their stuff and are very fair. I'm glad I discovered this place. I'll definitely return!

Friendly service, skilled repair work, and affordable prices! Needed a quick repair on my bike after a small crash during the Hollywood Ciclavia. Couldn't be happier with the professional care and knowledge from the staff. This is my "go to" bike shop in the Valley from now on. Thank you Metropolis Bikes!! Y'all are AWESOME!! read more

Metropolis Bikes - Happy customers!! - Bikes Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Staff was super knowledgeable and nice. It's nice to talk to an expert instead of a Walmart employee. Very happy with my purchase!

These guys helped me spruce up a bike i was going to give away to someone else who needed a bike. They never tried to upsell me, they gave me just what i needed to get the job done, and they did it fast. Very nice people who have been an integral part of the neighborhood for many years who do a good job! If i knew their names, i'd give them a shout out! read more

Known in the valley beats metropolis bikes when it comes to price or class. I went a-hunting around the valley for a good place to repair my little sister's bike. Most places quoted a minimum of 100 to 140 bucks for a basic tuneup. Furthermore, there aren't many of them that seem like they actually enjoy being in business. One place I called got snotty with me after I asked to bring my bike in for an evaluation stating "we would have to look at the bike before giving a quote"...... so obviously not having listened. I got attitude. Another place also demanding to see the bike before giving me anything resembling a quote, made a huge production about looking the bike over and turning the wheels and twisting the gears and oh man this is gonna be so much work and that's just gonna drive the price up... only to simply shrug and turn their back on me to walk away when I was extending my hand for a handshake to close our salutation. I will not be going back to that place. They clearly don't care about maintaining good relationship relationships. Another shop quoted me a graduated price, depending on how many gears or motors the bike had. But Metropolis The star that is metropolis! It's right around $40 for a tuneup. It doesn't matter how many speed your bicycle has. Ulysses took one look at my bike and didn't make a big production of it, but still informed me the bike wasn't worth saving. He made recommendations for the bike that was worth saving, any fulfilled his promise by the next day before the quoted time ,and he called me to let me know my bike was done rather than have me chase him down the way most auto shops require. When I returned, he addressed another issue. he had noticed something wrong with my bike rack, but even though I didn't mention anything or notice it worried at him the whole night and felt compelled to fix it as soon as he saw me to keep me and the community safe. The shop is well lit and clean. The customer service forthright and no nonsense. And the love that fills the place is represented in the burning man rugs that cover the floor. The enthusiasm for bicycles and bicycling can't help but seep from the owner. This is a shop that is in business because they love bikes. These people work here because they want people to learn to love bikes, the way they do. There's a small selection of bikes for whatever you're looking for from kids bikes to motorized bikes, you're guaranteed to find a good price, accurate information, and a little love for cycling when you walk in the door. Don't be fooled by going to some of those other bike shops. They are not worth the price let alone the experience. Make your way over to metropolis bikes instead you won't regret it. read more

Very nice people Also gives very good deals like i got a bmx for a good price also they give free repairs read more

Said they close at 6PM, sign on door says 6PM, Maps listing says they close at 6PM. Walked my bike over two hours and got there before 5:30 to find that it was closed. They are out of basic things like tire sealant for two weeks so I ordered my own that arrived on Amazon same day... Called to let them know and they basically said that sucks for you - did not offer to amend the situation in any way. Save yourself the headache and do not go here - go to C Street read more

Fabulous bike shop with great owner. He is helping my granddaughter to learn to ride without training wheels. Makes it so easy. We are getting her a new bike this week read more

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT coming to this shop. I'm much closer to a bike shop in Burbank but I read quite a few 5-Star reviews and decided to go out of my way to come to what I thought was a reputable, professional bike shop. A couple of weeks ago, I brought in my beach cruiser, which was sitting in the garage for three years, to get their "tune-up" for which they charge $40 bucks. I thought that was fair for a professional bike shop to inspect it, lubricate what's necessary, make any recommendations, and confirm it would be safe to ride. After sitting for three years, both tires were deflated when I brought it in although I had no clue if the tires or inner tubes were roadworthy. That was part of the reason I brought it into the shop. They called me a day later and said, "it's all done... you can pick it up" -and I did that afternoon. While picking it up I noticed two things: 1) they had wiped the frame down from some of the thick dust after sitting in the garage and 2) I noticed they inflated the tires. That's it. I also noticed all the other dust in the corners and on the wheels too as it looked as if it was wiped down haphazardly. I wasn't expecting them to wash my bike so no huge disappointment there although it looked worse after the wipe-down. But I didn't notice any fresh grease on the chain and I had no clue what they actually did as part of the "tune-up" nor did they say, "we looked at x, y, and z, and we inspected this, tightened that, and adjusted this" -nothing. They said nothing except, "your total is $40 dollars" and I paid it and left. I went home and put my bike in the garage and didn't ride it until Saturday, which was three days after I picked it up. I rode up the block and immediately heard this mild rubbing, with each rotation. I looked down at the back wheel while cruising at low speed and saw that the back wheel wasn't aligned but off to one side where it was rubbing the frame slightly. Obviously, that was upsetting considering I just invested $40 bucks for a tune-up. However, I let it slide. I quickly rode it home, grabbed a wrench, loosened the nuts in the rear, aligned the wheel myself, and hopped back on and all was good. After about three miles, the rear tire went flat pretty quickly. It wasn't a slow leak. It blew out while pedaling. I'm thankful it was the rear and not the front as the front could have caused me to crash. I pulled over into the nearby supermarket, locked it up at the bike rack, and called an Uber to catch a ride home. I hopped in my car to pick up my bike and head home. When I took the rear wheel off to inspect the tube, there was a huge tear. It had ripped wide open inside the tire. You can see that in the photos. In addition, the rubber tire was so brittle it fell apart as I pulled the inner tube out. I also noticed the front tire was inflated with the stem at an angle. It should be perfectly perpendicular to the wheel for safety -and so it doesn't cause a leak or blowout. Long and short of this experience...if they did what I paid them for, they could have called and said, "hey, these tires are pretty brittle, you'd be taking a chance riding on them. We recommend getting some new ones and replacing the inner tubes while you're at it" and I would have gladly paid to have all that done. They simply received my bike on Tuesday, gave it a quick wipe down, inflated the tires, and called me to pick it up on Wednesday. That's not my idea of a professional, caring bike shop. Not to mention...they could have sold me some additional, and desperately needed, parts and services which is just good business -and you'd think that's exactly why they're in business. I just ordered new tires, new liners, and new inner tubes so I can do what I would have gladly paid them to do. I feel the $40 bucks I spent at their bike shop was an outright rip-off. I'm embarrassed for these guys because I thought they were solid people based on all the great reviews. Again, this was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT and a monumental waste of my time and money. Although I can do all this work myself, the whole reason I brought it in was that I was short on time. read more

Not really. I went there a year ago to fix my bike's gear control (shifters) and they told me that issue had no way to repair... with evident disinterest to fix it. After that I found a bike shop in Redondo Beach, they fixed in 2 days and currently the bike runs perfectly It's just a matter of willingness to provide professional service at the end of the day. read more

We have bought all of our bike here for the past decade. We originally came in for toddler seats for our bike but ended up leaving with seats and toddler bikes. We've since been back for two other rounds of kids bikes and a new commuter bike for myself, which gets compliments everywhere I go. The fact that it's a father/son operations is the icing on the cake. read more

Great local bike shop for bikes, parts, and repairs. And they're open on Sundays, which is a huge plus.

Go!!! Brad, along with his son Brian, are very knowledgeable, gave honest & helpful information, good hearted, and even funny. Great to have a Father & Son shop in the neighborhood - I prefer and support local businesses. I bought my kids bike there, and serviced them for years with the previous owners. So pleased to know that Metropolis is thriving under new management with such good men. Love this shop! read more

"Great local bike shop. The Bolves, Brad and Brian know bikes! They've been in business for a long time. They're always willing to give advice on your biking needs. By giving you an honest opinion. Throughout the years, We bought many bikes and bike accessories from them here. What you pay more for as opposed to the online "bargains" ends up being less when you add in service, convenience, and availability of quality parts. I had a hit and run incident a couple of days ago. And my rear classic authentic bike wheel was hard to find and Replaced! Brain spent a great amount of time on improvising by trying to put together something similar. And it worked. This is why I truly and highly recommend this place. You're always welcome and they won't brush you off, or ignore your dilemma and problem. They'll do their best to fix it. And this what distinguish this shop than any other shops in the area. Metropolis Bikes shop has a wonderful wide selection of bikes and parts! Both Brad and Brian will get you the bike you want or repair the bike you already have" Thank You Gentlemen. I appreciate you. read more

Fast, friendly, and reliable service at reasonable prices. The best part about getting a flat tire in the area was stumbling across Metropolis. The part that really won me over was that they let what appeared to be a homeless man work on his bike in the parking lot with their tools. No judgement and helping the community is huge for me. read more

This place is legit and the people who work there are knowledgable, talented, nice, and fair. Don't listen to the one star reviews - Those are coming from people who are buying electric bikes and riding them like motorcycles without regard to the realities of LA streets and what bikes can and can't handle. Just because it goes fast doesn't mean you can ride over a thorn and not get a flat. You gotta ride your electric bike like a BIKE and only gun it when the street is really well paved. read more

This old man needs to retire . I call and ask him if he works on onyx e-bikes he tells me yes come on down. I ride 13 miles with a messed up tire only for him to tell me , this (onyx e-bike) isn't an e-bike this is a full on motorcycle. Tells he he's not gonna argue over e bike or motorcycle. The guys 80 years old only knows how to work on BASIC bicycles. Good luck to your son running that thing. read more

So as of November 2018 there is a new owner. The bad news for anyone who bought bikes with the lifetime tuneup warranty (as per my previous review, the main reason for purchasing here), the new owner no longer will honor the warranty. I think this is a bad way to start a new relationship. Every time I got my free tuneup, I bought stuff. I even paid almost $250 to rebuild this bike when the entire back tire, seat, and mirror were stolen. I could have easily bought a brand new bicycle for that amount. That type of loyalty is earned not given. The tune up cost me $50. I will now consider other bicycle shops for tune ups and parts. read more

I was on the search for a new bike and really wanted an Electra bike but couldn't decide which was the best fit for me. I stumbled upon this gem of a shop and the owner was so friendly and helpful off the bat. He was especially nice to my dog who joined us on the trip. He explained in detail the differences between each bike I was considering and let me test ride them all in the parking lot to see which felt the best. I fell in love with the Townie EQ and needless to say I am very happy with my purchase and the experience. I would definitely recommend. (Side note: my girlfriend wasn't trying to buy a bike but once she test rode the Loft, she was sold and also purchased a bike the same day). Thank you to the owner for also setting up the baskets on our bikes and for even helping us load the bikes carefully into our car! Can't say enough great things about this place and the people in it! read more
