This shop is great! The guy is quick and more importantly nice. He fixed both wheels on my sons tires. I came back another time, and he was too busy to take me on the spot, so I bought a tube from him. He could of easily said, good luck with that. Instead, he was nice enough to give me the tools and advice to fix it. Much appreciated. My son thought I was the coolest! Thanks Brotha! read more

Hole in the wall bike shop in the Valley. You don't see places like this in this neighborhood, but it's a perfect companion to Pogos, which is right next door. The place is filthy, with dust and parts everywhere. Nothing seems organized but that doesn't take away from the service you can get here. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about his trade. I went in (luckily it was empty) and had two flats repaired. I asked him a couple questions while he was repairing them and he was willingly helpful. Seems like a cool guy. read more

presumably the owner, his ego was impressive. had neither the strong you lock nor spoke key that I needed found what I needed - without the attitude - at reseda bikes read more

Not a place for bike snobs but the owner knows bikes old and new. He encourages everyone to ride everyday and often. A great asset to this neighborhood. read more

Paul is really helpful. Gets the job done with no BS. I was in, returned, paid the man and was a satisfied customer even tipped him a little extra. He was really helpful and knows his stuff read more

Great place to buy a used bike or get a tune up. I once bought a beautiful vintage 80s schwinn bike from there and it is a solid ride. Paul is awesome and he is super honest and fair. He doesn't charge you for unnecessary work and gives the option of using used parts to bring the cost down. I once thought I had to change my rear derailleur and he told me I just had to spray my shifters cuz it was gunked up. This is a great place for budget minded folks who want a no nonsense kinda place. There should be more bike shops like this! read more

Found this place on yelp. So happy to have found great place in the neighborhood. The owner is a super nice guy. Fixed up my bike nicely. Will definitely be back! read more

Atomic Cycles is 100% pure punk rock!

Had some custom handle bars made and they were lousy look like a 3 rd grader made them....looking for lousy work this is the place...guy didn't even offer a return policy.... read more

This is one of the last good ol' American owned and operated by a good ol' American with a code of work ethic that is outstanding. Brought in my dad's 1972 Schwinn Super Sport for a pedal change. Was informed pedals were incorrect for crank. Asked if the crank could be lubed. Job was completed in about 10 mins. and the cost was almost nothing. Will go out of my way too have my bikes serviced here instead of the overpriced and rude snarky staff at Reseda Bicycle. Paul is the BEST! read more

Was referred by a friend. Our bike was fixed so fast & just in time for Ciclavia!

great bike shop. was looking for some used parts for my bike and got them cheap. turns out in all the excitement i bought some of the wrong parts, but he had no problem with doing a straight exchange without any hassles. very knowledgeable bike guy. got my parts and learned a few things about it. read more

Atomic Cycles - everything but the frame was made possible by Atomic Cycles. Andrews Powder Coating provided the finished colors. - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I have a Nishiki from the 80s. Paul gave me EXCELLENT quick service and great prices. I will continue to only go to Paul from now on. Highly recommended. read more

I honestly thought I lost hope when it came to my classic schwinn bike. I was riding it the other day and the gears snapped. Took it to a local bike place and told me the next day that my bike was hopeless. I couldn't believe it, so I took it to another local bike shop that recommended me to Paul! Ah, best guy ever! He knows his bikes, and he's a really cool guy! Fixed my bike when the other store told me they couldn't fix it and best part, he fixed the bike so quick!! He's something I tell you! Thanks Paul! I really appreciate it! I highly recommend going to Paul if you guys have any questions or just looking/ thinking about getting a bike! read more

Highly recommended. I had a punctured stroller tyre. The owner was courteous on the phone told me he could fix the puncture. I was in and out of the store in 2 mins. The owner also seems to have a nice sense of humor. read more

You better call Paul. He is the best. He turned our 2 inoperable electric bikes into 2 great mountain bikes for less than $100 for both. He also altered the frame on my wife's bike so she could sit lower. Quality work done quickly at a reasonable price. What is there not to like? In addition, Paul is honest, friendly and personable. read more

Went here to have tubes put in my son's bike. The guy was very thorough and service was fast! Much appreciated sine I had my two kids with me. Great shop! read more

Paul is a great guy who takes care of his customers and has great prices on thing you need. He does sell new parts. Tires, tubes, brakes but does not sell new bikes. Which is fine by me. No salesman pressure. He is more than willing to give advice and "tell ya like it is" read more

Good prices on services, I dig the atmosphere, and Paul is cool!

Paul @ Atomic Cycles has worked on my bikes for years. Smart, follows through and ridiculously reasonable. Great merchant, good guy. No better place to get your bike fixed! read more

Atomic Cycles reminds me of those honest bike shops of my childhood. Paul is a bike guru and recommended by other shop owners for vintage bicycle repairs. read more

Great service. I need my brakes fixed and he did it quick and for a low cost. I would recommend him to anyone for any bike needs

Paul is a master mechanic ! Totally knowledgeable on everything bikes... shoot him your business today!

Paul was super friendly and speedy! It's a small place but he gets the job done! Btw, great prices!! Highly recommend.

The owner is dishonest and ripped me off on a complete bike. I'm not very knowledgeable on bikes and he ended up selling me a ladies bike frame for $300 with crap rusted parts. Avoid this place unless you like being lied to. read more

If you've got a bike to be fixed, and need it done well, quickly, and at a fair price, this is the place and Paul is the man. If you wear an "Italia" cycling jersey, but have never been to Italy and aren't Italian but like the way it sounds when you talk loudly over other people's conversations about your riding style, but more importantly, how much your bike cost, then you might want to go to a different place and look down your nose at the other shoppers in that bike store. read more

I'm a poor college student who is absolutely dependent on his bike for school usage. Atomic cycles is the best damn place I have seen in years of cycling to go to repair a bike. I've gone in with the most screwed up of problems and he's not only fixed it all up within hours, but is so god damn cheap. He is an honest man and he will not rob you, he has no incentive for that. Paul is a wonderful man and the best man for bicycle repairs. read more

Paul the owner-you either love him or hate him. It takes a while to get his personality. It seems that if you are in his circle you are in and you are good, but if you are an outsider he is not going to do much for you and he's not going to make any effort to make you comfortable. Been to the store multiple times, his prices are pretty good, but there is no give. I went in only needing a back rim for my beach cruiser and he would only sell them in pairs.$70 for the pair, not too bad. Went in with an old nothing special bike, thought maybe he would want it for parts, and he was an ass about giving him a free bike. On the positive side he puts together some pretty intense bad ass rides that need some effort to keep up with. He also puts on some gatherings in the parking lot that are entertaining with competitions and rides and lots of free food. read more

Love, love, love this bike shop. Paul is epic. He's a little rough around the edges, but he's no BS. He fixes beater bikes like mine for a fair price. I take them to Burning Man, they get thrashed, I bring'em back and he makes them happy again. What's more, he's built up a nice little community of fellow bikers that come from near and far gravitating to this little hole in the wall of a shop for some pretty rad cycling events. I don't know why there are so many haters leaving not so nice reviews. Paul's policy is really very simple: first come, first served. It's FAIR people!!!! Get over yourselves. Oh, and one more thing: Paul straight up told me he wouldn't work on my electric scooter like fix a flat or adjust the brakes. Nope, he says, he won't do it. Says he hates'em because they're just too time intensive to deal with and he's got a line of people waiting. So, well, you should ask the dude that fills in for him when Paul goes on vacay. He doesn't mind the extra work and he did a fantastic job. In fact, I think he made it even better than when I brought it in. Need a bike shop? Ride, don't walk, to Atomic Cycles, the best bike shop in the valley, maybe even greater Los Angeles, IMHO. YMMV. read more

If you're looking to buy a new bicycle, do not go here. However if you are looking for the best bike repair guy in the valley this is it. I stumbled upon atomic cycles about five years ago. The owner is the coolest, down-to-earth business owner that you will ever encounter. He is a master in his trade. He has a quick turnaround for repairs and a high level of expertise. There is plenty of parking in the rear of the building that is accessed through the alley. read more

Paul is great at what he does and really delivers quality work that would be way over-priced at other places . I felt a genuine,honest , down-to-earth customer service . read more

I bought an old Redline MX-III on Ebay. When it arrived, I quickly found some problems, the main problem being that the seatpost was stuck in the frame. I spent the better part of a day trying to get it out with no luck. Knowing that the bike shops around me (Glendale) suck when it comes to Old School BMX, and the one bike shop (Bicycle Station in Highland Park) I liked closed down, it was time to find a new shop. I dropped my bike off to Paul. Within 2 hrs he had the seatpost out, cleaned out/rebuilt the bottom bracket, replaced a short brake cable, and adjusted the brakes. I was prepared for him to have my bike for at least a week, so when he called 2 hrs later I was blown away. The price was so reasonable that I tipped him an extra $15 or so. I don't know about going here for new bikes, as I didn't really see any. But, for my needs this place is perfect. Who knows, if I can get my riding chops back in shape I might even join them on some of the rides they host too. read more

I love this place! got a really cool, vintage bike here like 10 years ago and always take it back for maintenance.

Great local bicycle shop, guy put training wheels on my boy's bike for a great price also lubed up the chain. Will definitely go back here if need be. read more

i love this place!!! it beats every hipster place out there! Even if you don't live locally it's worth the drive! He does an excellent job and will never rip you off! So honest and truly loves his craft and mother earth! Thank you Atomic Cycles!! read more

Thought I needed two new tires, but he was honest and said they were fine and just fixed the flat tire. Great place and I like the first come first serve policy. Will be coming back, probably soon the way my kids ride their bikes. read more

I replaced the inner tube for the 3 wheels of my kids double stroller for $10 each. That's including the parts and labor...what a deal!

I needed a new tube in one of my tires and this guy knew what he was doing and the price was a great deal, I'll definitely recommend this place and I'll be back next time my bike needs some service. read more

Great shop! The prices are fantastic and the owner is super nice. Did my brakes in less than an hour and helped me son fix his seat to the correct height. So glad I came here - not going to my old bike shop anymore!! read more

Owner is fast and great prices. Repaired a new chain for me today. I will definitely come back.
