    This was a great bike to ride.

    Great service, the boys who were working there on Sunday were so knowledgeable. They showed us how to use the electric bikes Etc.

    Saw this place on groupon, and decided to go check it out. I just had to call in to make a reservation. Everything was easy and Brandon was really nice. When I got there, there was several bikes I can choose, and all are the same price. My mother and I got the fat tire e-bikes, which were pretty cool looking. Brandon let us practice a little and we took the ferry across the peninsula. The bike pathway was a little more narrow compared to Santa Monica beach, but it was still empty enough to ride your bike (which we came at 10am on a weekday). Bikes were fast, no issues. If you take the pathway to the right when facing the beach, about 10 minutes in there is a basketball court and flat area you can bike freely on. It gets you closer to the ocean and fun to bike on. This bike shop is on Balboa island. We got there at 9:30am and were able to find free street parking about .3 miles away on a weekday in the summer. They also have nice bathrooms they allow customers to use, and are super nice. Can't wait to have another date.

    Yesterday we were celebrating an 18th birthday down in Balboa and decided it would be fun to rent bikes and explore the island. We walked into Cecil's because it was the first place we saw considering it's right next to the auto ferry, and we were immediately greeted by the nicest people. The two men working yesterday (08/24) were amazing and super nice people. We rented two E-Bikes to ride around the island on, and had such a fantastic time. The bikes were great and super fun to get around on. Pricing was $25 an hour for the E-Bike, we took ours around for about an hour but definitely could've done it all day without losing interest. Thank you Cecil's Cyclery! 100% Recommend

    It was time for our kiddos to get new bikes. In the past we've always just ordered online or picked…read moreone up at a random store like Target, but we were ready to buy a proper bike for them. Initially, we went to another shop down the street and had a negative experience. There really wasn't much help or guidance, style and color options weren't very interesting and the gentleman who helped us just seemed irritated with us. My son had an idea of what he wanted and didn't find it at their store so he was bummed out and uninterested. We didn't want to give up so we went to two wheels one planet and within 10 minutes both kids had picked out the perfect bikes for them. I can't remember the name of the gentleman who helped us but he was so incredibly kind and patient with all of us (Robin??) as we picked out the right color bike, basket, bells, etc. the kids could not sleep until the bikes came home that they made me go the next day after work and make two trips to bring the bikes home. Thank you so much!! We are so so happy with our experience and purchase!

They helped me rebuild my entire drivetrain, and they were on point with me replacing my wheels, which were damaged, and I had no idea. Cannot recommend this place enough!
