Extensive selection of various bikes to choose from, all in excellent condition, to reasonable rates, with an excellent, super-friendly team to assist to ensure you have the best cycle experience possible. Look no further than The Bike Center. I've been using them for years!!

Do not bring your bike for repair here. I had a busted axle so brought it in. A few hours later…read morethey text me to say the frame is broken. When I come pick it up, it's in much more disarray than when I left it. Seems like they broke it and are blaming it as it was already being broken but it gaslighting me as it was in no way the same shape as when I brought it in, even if worn, at least they should own it since how else can the frame break unless I was hit by a car. They then said they tried to send me photos and when they showed it to me in store, it was conveniently broken so no one can see the photos. Avoid.

The employee did not have a bad attitude. In fact, quite the opposite. He stayed calm, professional, and patient the entire time. It's unfortunate when staff are treated poorly simply because someone didn't get their way. I've included a short video for context. This is a phenomenal local bike shop. I've purchased multiple bikes here, and the staff and owner are always knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. This shop does not deserve a one-star review, and I strongly encourage others to support this business.

Best bike shop around... and they are dog friendly!…read more This Santa Monica bike shop is located on the corner of Broadway and 25th street with its own parking lot. It had a great selection of quality bicycles at reasonable prices. They stock Trek, Cannondale, Santa Cruz, Colnago, Pinarello and more in all types of bikes (road, hybrid, mtb, etc.). I was looking for a specific Trek Madone in a size small and this is the only local store that had it in stock. I called in advance to confirm its availability and set up a time to view the bike. I spoke with Monty. On the day of my visit, I met with Monty, took the bike for a spin, and took her home, along with a few other items (pedals, computer mount and water bottle cages). It was a smooth and easy transaction. Monty did the basic fitting and the guys in the service area installed all of the other items. The service area was busy with customers picking up and dropping off their bikes. Some even stopped in during their rides for a quick fix. Customer service was outstanding! Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful. If I could rate it higher, I would... Pedals (my dog) had a great time hanging out in the store. We will be back!

Local bike shops were wanting an insane amount of money and several days for what seem to be a fairly straightforward simple repair.
