Happy customers!!
Michael D.

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!!

Front wheel stem not inflated straight but at a slant.

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.

Has a green cannondale bike come into your shop recently? My bike got stolen and I just thought to ask. Thank you

Is this place still in business? I have tried calling several times and there is no answer, only a recording.

Yes. I was just there.

When that shop, lost their lease and had to close I was in a panic as I am great with financial spreadsheets but a real Clutz with anything mechanical so I called the single Canyon outlet in the USA at the time which was in Oceanside, CA. Naturally they were hesitant to name a place but with some begging I finally got a guy in their mechanic shop to recommend Stotts on Victory Boulevard in Burbank and have been very happy with them. I do a lot of charity rides including the 545-mile AIDS Life Cycle 10 times along with many local centuries in the area. Over the years I've become comfortable with telling them they type of ride I am getting ready to do and ask them to do whatever they need to get the bike ready; if it's just a small adjustment out of wack they just do it with no charge but it its more, I am always quoted a price and a reason why the work is needed. One time I went in to buy a new set of Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires and was shown why I did not need tires by showing me the tread indicators. I went in to get new brake pads once and was told I just needed a slight adjustment. I now just drop of my bike and tell them to do whatever it needs for xxx bike ride and they always call me back with a quote and a reason why. A tune up is a tune up but if more is required, they always call me to say what they recommend and the reason why. From the owner to all of the staff, I trust these guys and drive out of my way to patronize them. David Woodard

It took me half an hour and when I arrived the first person I spoke to pulled it up on the computer and said let me get a manager to help me with this. A manager came over and with a not very nice attitude said, I don't see anything under that phone number, you don't have a receipt, I can't help you. I said I just called yesterday and I was told that if I brought it in you could help me they looked it up and saw it under the phone number, is there anyone working today that was here yesterday? And he said no. The store is huge. I said I don't believe you that there is no one working here today that was here yesterday and he said well, its a change over time but there's nobody here that would've spoken to you yesterday. So I said OK well you're a liar and you're power tripping. I was told that you could look it up and the employee who called you over was able to see it on the computer before you got here, that's why he called you for help to remove the tag. He was committed to not helping me. On top of all that, my boss said that's absolutely false information they can absolutely look it up. He has returned things to them before without receipts with just a phone number.

Hello Big 5 Sporting Goods - Studio City!…read more It's been a hot minute since I strolled in and found some fun finds, including a par of awesome combat boots in my size (13). Even though I was more on a browsing expedition with one item set in mind the Big 5 Sporting Good Crew of SC was super friendly, personable and very much supportive of one another as well as all customers in the store. It's a boutique style Big 5 - located on Ventura Place between Laurel Canyon Blvd and Radford Avenue, parallel to Venture Blvd. I don't pop in much as other locations speak to me a little better in terms of what I need or might be looking for. All locations could use a modern update or some tlc - it does feel a bit like a 90s time capsule... I did luck in a portable fan, double AA battery powered and perfect for a humid and/or super sunny day. Batteries are reasonable here as well. Good deals on sporting goods, beach gear, apparel, indoor and outdoor goods. I can't remember the last time I saw a Big 5 that carried firearms but this is one of the locations. Obviously they aren't loaded and it's all about safety first, but it caught me off guard with so many families and kids in the store. They carry a huge variety of everything from tents and canopies to baseball gear and softball equipment. Swimwear, camping things and even have in-store as well as online sales, deals and coupons. Street and private lot parking with access through the alley, making it easy during Sundays with the Farmers Market direct in front along the street. Hours vary through the week, but service and selection is always consistent.
