Great experience at Hero Boy Bike Shop! I brought my road bike in on a Saturday for a tune-up as I'm getting back into cycling, and Aly took great care of me. My bike was ready by Tuesday, which was a pretty quick turnaround. The shop was PACKED with bikes, both for sale and waiting to be picked up, so clearly they stay busy. When I picked mine up, it seriously looked brand new! Everything was cleaned up, serviced, and ready for me to get back on the road. Really appreciated Aly's help and the overall service. I'll definitely be back for future bike needs. read more

Hero Boy - Bikes Near Me - Hawthorne, California

BEWARE: This business sells dangerously defective products and refuses to stand behind them. I purchased a bike from this establishment that literally BROKE IN HALF during a simple 10-mile ride. I was stranded and forced to walk home carrying the broken frame myself. When I contacted the owner and provided proof of the damage, he initially refused to issue a refund and only agreed to have the manufacturer send a replacement after repeated complaints. Unbelievably, the replacement bike ALSO broke in half just a few months later. At that point, instead of taking responsibility for selling two catastrophic failures, the owner told me he had already "given me a free bike" and refused to refund me. Selling one unsafe bike is unacceptable, selling two and then blaming the customer is outrageous. This business clearly does not care about customer safety, product quality, or basic accountability. A bike frame snapping in half is not a minor issue, it is a serious safety hazard that could have caused a major injury or worse. I would strongly advise anyone considering purchasing from this establishment to take their money elsewhere unless they enjoy wasting money on dangerous products and being ignored when something goes wrong. read more

Bought a bike here a couple months ago and so far it rides great. The man that runs the store is very nice and all the bikes he has is either built by himself or repaired with all the best of quality parts. I got a flat tire and he helped fix it and it runs smoothly again. All of the parts that you need doesn't cost a lot. Recommend dogging here for a bike or for repairs because he's the guy to talk to! read more

Hero Boy Bike is a small, independently owned neighborhood bike shop. I've come here a few times to pick up a bike that was delivered from out of state and assembled by Hero Boy Bike, and later to get some adjustments on the bike by their mechanic. The service is pretty quick and the owner is really friendly. The prices are fair and it seems they do a lot of business with the local kids from the neighboring schools. For the size of the place, the selection is pretty good. Honestly, the owner is really nice and even if you're not ready to buy, just come in and say hi, he's very knowledgeable about bikes. Small shops like this are getting herder and harder to find and we need to keep them alive. They have about 6 free parking spots right in front of the shop and there's a small parking lot just steps away. read more

Excellent customer service and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to E-bikes. The prices are very reasonable. I went in for a maintenance/Tune up for my son's bike and I'm very satisfied. Thank you, I'll be back for future tune ups. read more

First time at Hero Boy, and I will absolutely be back! They did a great job on the tune up, I also got new tires and a new tape, very reasonable prices. This is my new favorite bike shop. The owner is incredibly nice and a pleasure to do business with. read more

I've been riding my bike to pretty much everywhere I need to go for the last year or so, and have used three different bicycle shops in Hawthorne - Phil's Bike Shop, One Stop Cycle, and Hero Boy. Phil's is overpriced, charging double what both Hero Boy and One Stop charges for pretty much all services. Rude customer service and takes quite a long time on basic maintenance (at least in MY personal experience). One Stop Cycles is a good honest business but tends to be closed randomly here and there. Hero Boy is a great shop, and the owner, Ali, is a great guy. He provides honest prices for his services, and sometimes I've received my parts and labor at pure part cost basically. Ali is great to speak with and even understands some small Spanish tidbits to help a non-English speaker get their work done. Overall, if you are looking to get some parts or some work done on your bicycle, I'd recommend either One Stop or Hero Boy, but I would much more heavily recommend Hero Boy for all your bicycle needs. Hope you're reading this Ali, thanks again for the inner tube yesterday! read more

If you need some decent bike parts Or any inner tubes check my boy out Or if you need a quick fix or bike tune up read more

Don't come here . I came to buy a used bike I explained to to him my needs . Basically wanted a used bucket but that works good ( brakes , gears etc) each bike was falling apart he even tried sneak hiding the price tag on one telling me it's 350 when it's 290 even then paying that for a used bike that doesn't even work properly is a rip off . He got mad wasn't trying to give me a refund . I basically told him ok keep my money and keep the bike as I walked out I guess he had a change of heart for what ever reason . I went across the street to SBM BIKE SHOP it's actually owned by HIS family old repair man Simon . I found a like new bike with all my needs for 190 also added a custom handlebar system and bike rack total came out to 236 SIMON is the best go to him he also charges basically half off of what hero boy does . Simon's a good man I now know why he left hero boy read more

My husband and I just bought 2 bikes from here and we couldn't be happier! The owner is super friendly, sweet, and has been in business for over 12 years! Loved the service, bikes are customizable and available for quick pick up, and he also has lots of bike accessories and can order anything you need. Highly recommend! read more

I was in dire need of a tune up on my bike and decided to support this local business in my neighborhood. I should've went with my first gut and took the bike elsewhere upon my arrival to the shop, the customer service was TERRIBLE, not accommodating or friendly at all. He provided me a guesstimate on when my bike would be ready, which was 2 weeks from the date I dropped it off. Fast forward two weeks later and the bike still wasn't ready, no communication on it being a delay or anything. Lastly, I gave him one more day to work on the bike. The day came for me to pick up the bike and the tuneup wasn't done. Never again will I go there. read more

I found this shop which is not close to my place but decide it to give it a try because the good reviews, so i took my daughter's bicycle here for a simple repair to fix the bike's chain which become loose every 5 minutes of riding it also i bought a pair of training wheels for the same bike. Repair was done but after one block of riding the bike with brand new training wheels one of them came out, i got to drive all the way back to this shop and they insisted their training wheels are top quality, after they fixed it i insisted for them to put a pin at the end of the trainig wheel so there is no way the wheel come out again and they did. After they repaired it the wheels were in place working as they suppose to BUT this time the whole support for the training wheel bent over. EXTREMELY CHEAP QUALITY ... i wont go back nor recommend this place to no one who is looking for a good result !!!! read more

The best bike shop in town beats any other bike shops i been too

Great service! I took my boys (ages 6 and 7 years-old) bikes in to get fixed. Both bikes had one flat tire each and one needed to get tricycle wheels on. I dropped the bikes off 4pm and was able to pick up (by choice) 4pm the next day. The owner was so kind and gave my boys stickers when we went to pick up the bikes. My boys absolutely love their bikes and ride them everyday. read more

Love this place. Super nice owner who is trustworthy and kind. Very knowledgeable about bikes and fair prices.

Fair prices and great service! Brought in two cruiser bike frames and Aly helped/recommend parts to build a complete bike! His mechanic put them together in about 3 days. Picked them up and they were better than we imagined! I will definitely be going back! Such friendly service really won us over! read more

Hero Boy - One of our bikes - Bikes Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Went there to get a tune up for my specialized rock chopper. The gentleman in the shop did an assessment on it in about 5 minute, gave me a quote and it was ready in about two days. You can definitely tell he's not trying to oversell you service as he quoted me a full tune up costing $80 over the phone but after the assessment came out to $60. Also bought a nice strong U lock for $40 to keep my baby safe. Needless to say I've had the smoothest fastest ride on my bike since seeing Hero Boy, will definitely be back when my ride needs a tune up read more

It was a bad idea to support this local business. I wanted to have my flat tire fixed on my bicycle's front wheel. Went to the store and the guy said they are busy and it will take an hour to have it done. I came back after an hour, picked up my bike and went home. The tire was flat the next morning and literally did not even ride it after getting it from the store. When I closely inspected, it didn't even look like the tube inside was changed and only the air was filled. I went back to the store to ask if they can check again. The guy flat out got defensive and started saying that if you leave even for a second after you have a new tube, they are not responsible anymore. I was just trying to ask him to check and see if there was an error and somehow an old tube was installed accidentally. Explained that I don't even need a new tube and I am willing to pay if in fact it was changed, and the guy started raising his voice saying that he saw many people playing these tricks and just kept going on. At this point it was not worth my time and I left the store. Very bad customer experience and was very disappointing. Literally went in to this store to support local business and felt like I got scammed. It is all about respecting a customer and at least trying to listen if not own your mistake. Please pay close attention to the work if you end up going to this store. read more

We went looking for a place nearby to have an old bike tuned up, they is over 15 years old but never had been ridden by anyone, over the years it sat in the Garage rusting away and collecting dust. However, we knew it was a good bike. We Found Hero Boy on Yelp and decided to take to them. They did an excellent job making sure every single thing was working properly even got the rust off the bike. Be advised with the Covid 19 thing going on, they have gotten a slew of bikes to repair, tune up or build. It make take longer than expected for your return but they believe in accuracy. Well worth it read more

Was a bit skeptical to be honest before taking my bike in. Ended up being the best thing. The gentleman that opened the shop in the morning examined my bike. I received it as a hand me down. Wasn't in the best shape. Didn't require major repairs or work but definitely could use some TLC. The gentleman was polite and gave me a rundown of his thoughts. Asked me what I thought. Gave me the estimate which was far more reasonable then I was originally anticipating. He said they would have it ready by end of day which they did. I was pleased with the final product. Gave it a ride around the block one time. Have been using it regularly ever sense. Definitely plan to take it back for routine tune ups. Some words to describe the experience: Professional, Reliable, Polite, and Affordable. Based on my personal experience and the end result, I would recommend. read more

EXCELLENT service and prices. Friendly staff. Highly recommend having your bike needs met here!

Great service!! I took my son on Christmas Eve to pick out his Christmas gift.. he got a really nice skateboard. The guy who helped us was really helpful and showed my son how to change out the wheels and also told him when he gains some skills to change out the bearings to get more speed. He gave us a card and said, "let me know whatever you need, I'll help". He was very nice. I'm glad I searched Yelp to find a shop. read more

If you're looking for a place to buy your next bike, or to service an existing one, look no further: 1) Owner truly loves bikes and is an expert mechanic. 2) Owner obviously values quality, carrying a streamlined array of only well-crafted and resilient bikes. 3) Owner happily makes bike repairs and tune-ups (I feel less like a customer and more like part of a bike club whenever I go in). 4) This small, owner-operated business is full of character and good for the community. read more
