Everything went well... service is the best, Song hooked me up with a new bike for my Ironman and put it together , sized it professionally ... I've been back in, they don't charge for the little Things... number one priority really is safety here for name sake! Little parking lot in the back too. read more

Safety Cycle - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After calling several specialized authorized dealers, I decided to give my business to Safety Cycle for my new $10,000+ bike--and I'm really glad I did. Erik was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful from our very first phone call. He ordered the bike for me, and just a few days later it was ready exactly as promised. When I arrived to pick it up, I was impressed by the level of service and attention to detail. Erik and his team went over the entire bike with me, explained every feature and how to use it, professionally fitted the bike to me beforehand, and made sure everything was dialed in perfectly before I rode away. Customer service like this is hard to find these days. I highly recommend Safety Cycle if you're looking for a shop that truly cares about its customers. Ask for Erik--you'll be in great hands. read more

Safety Cycle - My bikes - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I Bought 2 tires, 1 inner tube, 3 quick release skewers, had my tires installed. Prompt, Knowledgeable service. Highly recommended. I work on that side of town, so it's very convenient. The shop by my house is closed by the time I get home. Very convenient. read more

Although they were established in 1940, Safety Cycle is far from they heyday nor even from their tail end of what they were from the 1990s. The new owners have certainly made changes that seem to be going downhill and not in that good way when on a nice bicycle cruise. Speaking from a previous customer's stand point I certainly have seen their decline. From being a great official Schwinn dealership, the changing landscape of cycling has really taken a toll on small bicycle dealerships and shops. Safety Cycle use to have a great array of inventory from entry models to top end race bicycles. Today, the showroom is cluttered with no organization, racks are filled with no understandable order, customer service that consist of a single person, and cycling accessories littered throughout the store with the exception of what is behind the sales counter. Walking in on prime Saturday afternoon I found two service techs busy working on bicycles, a sales clerk that was inundated and had no time to address any customers walking in, and three persons that I knew were management & friends that I witnessed shooting the breeze with each other ignoring all who walked in to either browse or shop. The most annoying aspect of my visit was scavenging through the tires section that was nestled in a back corner with only a goat path to fit through. No one approached me to help in my 20 minutes of sorting through their mess of tires. Any how, I have fond memories of this neighborhood bicycle shop and I still treasure the bicycles I have purchased here along with the great service they once delivered. I hope management sees this review/account and turn things around before things get any worse than they have already become. read more

Terrible customer service. Multiple employees sitting around and guy at the front counter told me it'd be 30 minutes to top off my bike with air and there's a charge for it. 20-30 second service. Wouldn't do it himself or let me do it. Been a customer at multiple points. Just lost my business. So short-sighted and greedy. read more

Beware!! Over priced swindlers!! Would never trust them with any of my bikes. I compared prices and their labor was 4x more than other bike shops. Maybe bc I'm a female, but they gouge and didn't provide honest info. I've been cycling for over a decade and can do most of my repairs. These guys are out to rip you off. read more

worst customer service. i went in their to know if they can fix my bike flat tire. the Philippino guy sitting there quoted me $86 for flat tire repair and before doing that he asked me to pay non refundable $28 for diagnostic. when i asked him whats the need of diagnosti he said we don't do free repair as if i was begging him to fix my bike for free. never going in again for anything. in less than 1 mile there's another bike shop named demon bikes. he fixed my flat tire just for $40 no bullshit no extra charges read more

A great group. Wonderful service and great prices. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Awesome bike shop. Recommended by a friend and drove all the way from orange county and was totally worth it. Came to eye shop and gave me a deal I couldn't resist. Bike was already converted tubeless and they gave me a free fitting and ended up buying a bike rack. Absolutely amazing service and made feel comfortable all the way. Not to mention their finance option is awesome. Eric and song were very kind and patient. Go now! You won't regret! Can't wait to take it on the trails tomorrow! read more

Safety Cycle - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have to write this review right now while I'm still in the parking lot. I've been to safety cycle 3 times now which isn't the most convenient for me because I live in Irvine but one of my group ride buddies had recommended this place as being the nicest guys and best shop in la. I'm going to say, this is the best LBS I've ever been apart of. I say that I'm a part of it bc of how often you'll end up frequenting your local bike shop once you get into cycling. Sometimes their repair times are so different and customer service is hit or miss because theirs no actual organized queue but when you finally get serviced, especially from the owner (I think his name is Jun), it really will strike you why so many people love this shop. They do really great work and are incredibly honest. Seriously love safety cycle and it's my go to, I don't even consider any other shops and that's coming from someone who makes an hour and a half drive to get here and back and then there and back again when I need to pick up whichever bike I have in there. read more

Erick was easy to deal with. I had a bike in mind, and he offered an awesome option for my consideration. It was a great deal. The bike was assembled perfectly and had zero issues. If you know what you want, this is the place to get great deals. read more

STAY AWAY - POOR QUALITY WORK - POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - TOTAL RIP-OFF Brought my electric scooter in for a tube replacement. They did not have the tube for replacement and I provided the tube that came with the scooter from Hiboy. 3 hrs later, pick up and i notice its running sluggish. Next day, tire is flat and could barely pump air as the valve was not installed correctly. Called and was told to bring back in to where I was told that I would have to pay for another tube and the work again ($35 + tube). All in all, this place is horrible. If you need anything bike or electric scooter related stay away from this place. Overpriced poor quality work. 35 bucks to poorly replace one tire is a total rip-off. Wasted my time and stole my money. Thanks for nothing read more

Don't use Safety Cycle for repairs or maintenance. They damaged my wheel during a routine tire replacement, I called them out on it immediately when I picked it up and refused to fix their mistakes. They're very defensive and hard to work with. Now I'm 120 dollars poorer and my bicycle is rattling and unsafe to ride. Staff was condescending and rude on both days. Very disappointed with the service, more disappointed in their refusal to help. read more

I had a great experience purchasing a new Specialized Turbo Levo from Safety Cycle. The pricing was very competitive and the service and support top-notch. Kristian was very helpful in working thru the options and making sure I was fully satisfied. Thanks Kristian and Safety Cycle!!! read more

We are big fans of the Aventon brand and even bigger fans of Safety Cycle. My wife and I each have a Pace 500 and have had minor service done at the shop. Song and the rest of the staff are friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their craft. We shopped at several bike shops before settling on Safety Cycle. When I broke my motor after 8000 miles Song priced out a replacement. The cost was reasonable but the Black Friday deals from Aventon were impossible to pass up. Safety Cycle matched the offer and we drove off with a new Pace 500 that was in stock at the store. We even got a free spare battery which arrived in the mail within four days. It is a great bike and we are forever customers of Safety Cycle! read more

Erick is a wonderful person who cares a lot about his customers and their experience. The shop has a wonderful selection of bikes and parts to choose from. Whether you're new or born to ride on wheels, this shop is a one-stop place for full-on service. Employees service and possess outstanding knowledge, making you feel confident about your shopping experience. Erick seems to be doing something right; I visited this place three times within the last year and have been satisfied of his courteous attitude. For the other employees, I can't say the same thing. It is important to treat customers great care and importance at the first interaction. I made a phone call 10min after literally leaving the shop realizing what I purchased wasn't the problem to getting my electric scooter running (turned out it was a flat tire and tube, many thanks to Express Bike on 1st and Vermont). I explained my situation and asked if I can come in to get some air on my tire when I was told to not come back until tomorrow morning as the shop had stopped service for the day in the most condescending tone of voice. Would have been nice to be a bit more understanding and empathetic about my situation rather than sounding annoyed and tired. Also, the shop was closing about an hour and a half from the call. Sorry for not knowing any of this? I felt flabbergasted about my experience. It's just air that I was requesting, I thought to myself. I went to Express Bike right after and they were able to look into it there, with no complaints. Turned out to be more than just air, as I had a flat tube and bad tire. I dropped off my scooter there for next-day service. Oh, and they too close at 6:30. On top of that, an observation. I noticed a customer that was there left his bike there for service. It was exactly 5pm. There was a slight language barrier between the employee and customer; the employee had to repeat what he had previously disclosed to him in an off-putting tone. The customer didn't notice it, and I just had a thought on how an interaction like that can make a difference to the longevity of a business. Anyway, the point of this review is to shine light on the importance of putting caring and courtesy throughout every interaction, as reviews and recommendations like this make reason for potential customers to inquire. I'm very pleased to know there's a second location in Torrance. Says a lot about the success of this great bike shop. Perhaps this day was just a hiccup and the employees were tired. I get it. Keep the winning culture spinning true, otherwise it could all crash. Be nice. We all have lives outside of work that can make it hard, yet the effort will always outshine. read more

Eric and Bryan helped me find the perfect bike!! Being stuck in between bike sizes, I was not sure what bike size to purchase. I ended up exchanging the same bike twice, and was allowed to do so because I truly believe they care about their customers. Eric went above and beyond, and Bryan at the Torrence shop was terrific with his expertise and attention to detail!! I look forward to recommending this bike shop to friends and family. Thank you Safety Cycle! -Tony read more

Got here following a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed. This bike shop is great! Bought my Specialized Aethos here and Daniel was extremely helpful! He showed me the bike options and explained everything about my new bike. Even showed me how to replace a tire. I would give him 10 stars if I could! Thank you, Daniel and Safety Cycle. read more

Honestly, I do not know why I gave this place a third chance. The front staff ALWAYS has an attitude. The only reason I went in today is because Bike demons was closed around the corner. However, the repair guys are nice at Safety so I wish them luck. read more

Great service and results. Although it's about $90 min when they do any work on your bike it's always worth it. Thank you guys.

Safety Cycle - Specialized Allez! - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went in for the free bike check up and to have a tire replaced. The tire was ready on time, etc. Unfortunately, both when I went in to drop off and when I went in to pick up, there were employees either not wearing masks or not wearing them properly. When I was riding the bike home after, the gear shift was no longer responding properly and it would not stay in gear. It's a bummer since they're so close. So much for safety, I guess. read more

I would have to give them 3.5 stars. I haven't been there for over 10 years now. They don't appreciate customers and there are many other bike shops to choose from. Between the late 90's and well into the 2000's I would go there routinely and spent close to $1000 total. I bought a folding bike from them plus parts and service over and over. The owner is like an emotionless calculator machine. He doesn't want to extend any courtesy to customers. I had several incidents of bad attitude that turned me off. I walked in there when I was flat proofing my bike tires. I saw a bunch of useless tubes in their trash barrel. These tubes are garbage from tire flats. I just asked if I could have a few inner tubes from their trash to use. The owner was there and he just answered "No." I asked "aren't those tubes just trash?". He said I cannot have them. It is against "policy". He then told me to come back after closing and dig them up from the alley. So I can say to the owner of Safety Cycles: "F" you too. You have lost over ten years of my business because of garbage. Idiot. If I could undo my former sales I would. I would like to give them one star but that is dishonest. Basically the other employees are good. It is just the owner who is an asshole. My suggestion. Go over to the bike shops over near Alvarado St at Wilshire or 7th. They have a great attitude to customers and the prices are better than here. Thanks for reading this Goose Review. read more

The staff assisted me the first time I went there and they're very nice and helpful. But the owner, an Asian guy, is an a**hole. He really puts a lot of energy into making sure you take your business elsewhere or as in my case, as a potential return customer, that you never go back. Go somewhere else. This guy is rude AF. read more

Stopped by to fix a tire on my stroller. The service was fast and pleasant. It took them like 10 min to replace the tire and it only cost $8.00. They also have a nice selection of new and used bikes. I would definitely comeback here to buy a bike for my kids. One stop shop for your all bike needs! read more

Safety Cycle - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Crashed on the LA bike trail and threw my gearing out of alignment. I was hoping to get back on the road and continue my ride but the guys at this store wouldn't even look at my bike to see what the problem is. Totally understandable that they have a service queue and customers ahead of me, I have no problem with this at all and do not expect to jump the line. Their attitude, however, was horrible and is the reason I'm writing this review. I had tried LA Fly Cycle down the street before them and also got turned away but they were genuinely trying to help however they could. read more

Song was one of the most helpful people I've ever encountered at any retail facility, let alone a bike shop. Helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. He taught me how to use my Brompton again - I hadn't used it in 8 years. He helped me find the right seat for it even though it meant not buying one from Safety Cycle. He got on the ground with me and helped fix my generator light and didn't even charge me for it. The shop itself has a great selection and very good people. They helped me fall back in love with cycling and I would go there before I go anywhere else. Thank you Song and Safety Cycle! You are a first-rate operation. read more

Come get gouged! Owner knows next to nothing about bicycles but sure knows how to operate the cash register. You know how most bike shops refuse to charge you for something small like a wheel nut, (because that is unwritten etiquette of any American bike shop)? NOT THIS SHOP! This owner would probably charge you for the air he puts in your tires. read more

If you have been on here you know this Asian guy. He goes out his was to let you know he's is a ***hole. So much so it's hard to even stay on the topic of your bike issue. He told me he does things the right way when I asked about a bike chain. He was basically trying to say that I stole my own back. My $2000 dollar e-bike. He didn't want to help me and tried to argue with me. I suspect that he has not received back yet the energy he puts out but he will. read more
