Peter and Angel were both a wealth of knowledge. Peter was my sherpa, helping me discover what bike and child bike seats would best suit our family's needs. Angel then expertly installed a rear frame-mounted child seat for us on the new bike. Coco's Variety was like hitting the easy button... they had an extensive collection of used and new bike options and accessories, the bike prices were reasonable, it was great to be able to trade-in an old bike for a little discount, and Peter and Angel were professional and helpful in getting us set up to ride right away. We'll be bringing all our bike-related business here!

The seating is all patio, with a small array seating bike path adjacent for a complete view of the LA River. There is also a full service bicycle shop located inside with rental services.

So sad I didn't love this place. I visited on Labor Day around noon. And yes, it was packed. There…read moreis no AC so it was very hot. It is very pricey, but I understand because it's in a very interesting location so your options are limited for food, especially if you're a cyclist. I ordered the BLAT and added an egg. My total with tip for just a sandwich was $27. It took 40 minutes for me to get the sandwich. I knew it was exactly 40 minutes because my credit card charge had a timestamp. I understand it was busy, but it's just a sandwich. Additionally the sandwich wasn't even good. I didn't finish it and was very disappointed that I waited so long paid so much for something that didn't taste great. The bread was not toasted. The bacon was chewy and there was nothing special about it. Plus, I was roasting because it was hot. Overall, I would not do this again. Maybe I would get a drink, but I don't know if it warrants the price. If you're a cyclist and you have no other options sure but I was pretty sad that I didn't have a great experience.

I give them 4.6 stars but it made me choose 4.

I recently brought a bike to Around the Cycle that I'd bought from a nice couple. It seemed like a…read moregreat find, but as with most random bike purchases, there were a few hidden issues. I initially just needed the seat raised and the handlebars adjusted, but it turned out the chain was incredibly loose, the tubes were probably at least 10 years old, and there were a handful of other things that needed attention. I worked with Joe, who was absolutely fantastic. He was genuinely excited about the bike and eager to help. He even brought me outside, watched how I was riding, and made adjustments on the spot. After that, we brought the bike inside so they could take a closer look and handle the bigger fixes. They really took their time to make sure everything was dialed in perfectly. Joe also noticed I had a women's seat on the bike, which is fine, but as a man it wasn't the best fit. I appreciated that they paid attention to details like that. They were also very mindful of my budget and made sure we didn't overspend while still getting everything safe and road ready. Ben handled the tube replacement and did a great job. It truly felt like a team effort to make sure my bike was not only running well but completely safe. They even threw in a free water bottle holder and installed it because it was hot out! I ended up grabbing the sickest Grateful Dead inspired water bottle and filled up while I was there, the ride home was so much less intense because of that. My family and I have been going to Around the Cycle for years and have bought multiple bikes from them. Every experience has been excellent. It's clear this is a tight knit group that genuinely cares about their customers. This isn't some corporate chain. It's exactly what you'd hope every neighborhood shop would be like. Anytime anyone I know needs anything bike related, I send them to Around the Cycle without hesitation. They're simply the best. Huge shout out to Joe and Ben for the amazing service and going above and beyond. They will have my business for life!

I brought my e-bike here for a front brake lever repair and new pads. I specifically said if the…read morelever couldn't be properly repaired, DO NOT replace it because I already had a replacement coming. About an hour after pickup, the bike completely lost power and went into anti-theft mode. Another battery didn't solve it. I returned asking them to check whether anything could have been accidentally disturbed during the brake work--not to accuse anyone, but to troubleshoot what happened immediately after their repair. Instead, I felt dismissed. Rodney, the person in charge, repeatedly insisted that because they don't do electrical work, they couldn't have contributed to the issue, while talking over my concerns. I later contacted an independent e-bike specialist on my own--not an employee of this shop or someone they referred me to--who repaired the electrical problem. He couldn't conclusively determine the cause, although he said the lever repair could potentially have played a role. What IS certain: the very next day, the brake lever I paid this shop to repair failed badly and had to be replaced. Thankfully, I wasn't going downhill or riding in heavy traffic. I wasn't looking for an admission of guilt. I wanted my concerns taken seriously and a safe, dependable brake repair. Unfortunately, I received neither.
