Woman owned & run, bike shop. Ana was welcoming and kind. First I called in to double check their hours of operation. When I walked in Ana immediately took my bike back and did a safety check ($35) My other option was a bike tune up ($115) but that required more time. I was glad to hear that my bike was in pretty good shape and just required a few adjustments. The shop also has accessories for sale as well as bicycles. Other items too but I didn't pay much attention. I highly recommend this lovely shop for your bicycle needs. read more

I brought my boyfriends bike in for a tune up after previously taking my bike to the Recyclist down the road. I had a negative experience there and was willing to pay the slight premium at Sunny Cycles to support a different business. My experience with Sunny Cycles was nothing but positive and the owner was very nice, even dropping the bike off at my home when it was ready to accommodate me. Thank you we will be back! read more

This is an unprofessional business. You should never tell a customer calling for a service inquiry to come in close to your closing time just to turn them away because you didn't ask enough questions about what was needed over the phone... And because your child is at work with you that day, which you surely knew all along. Be considerate and professional and ask questions upfront to ensure you can service the bikes at hand. Being RUDE and unaccommodating!!!! when customers do come in after lugging their bike for miles just adds insult to injury. Do not own a business if you cannot manage customer service. I won't patronize this establishment and caution others to be warned. read more

I bike about 5 miles each way to work a few times per week, and I've found it's strangely hard to find a good bike repair shop. So far, I've used four local ones, and this is by far the best. Great service and work and good prices. If you somehow find someplace cheaper--skip it because you'll ultimately end up paying more in the end. If you need any work done on your bike, this is the place to go. read more

Anna at Sunny Brakes was really wonderful! She was super helpful when my daughter took her bike in for a tune up! She was very communicative and even helped my daughter load her bike into the car afterwards Love to support a longtime Mar Vista business! read more

I haven't stopped by here in a few years. I upgraded bikes and couldn't figure out why my rear tire kept losing air, even REI couldn't figure it out. Anna found a little staple in the tire and replaced everything for a great price. I'll definitely be back when I have issues I can't figure out! Thanks again, Anna! read more

The attention to detail and customer service are outstanding. I highly recommend checking out their shop for service and/or purchasing your set of wheels. I am happy to report it is a woman owned business. Thank you again for bringing my bike back to life. It looks and rides fantastic. read more

Cool selection of merchandise, alongside a nice collection of restorations, and one-of-a-kind bike builds. If you are curious, proceed with confidence! You will not be disappointed... Jeff read more

I came into this place today and I was able to get air in my tire as well as purchase a couple of things for my bike The owner is pretty rad and she's very helpful. I definitely will be coming back again. read more

I have gone to this place and had the rude interaction with this business. The owner is rude and disrespectful to customers. I wanted to get my bike fixed but encountered a rude owner so didn't want to interact with her any more. People should read the reviews of others... the five stars have to be her friends because the true reviews go back 13 years and they are just as bad . She's mean read more

What a disappointment this place is. To start let me just say that I understand everyone is having a tough time but that's no excuse. This place was so rude to me. I did everything by their rules and left my bike to be adjusted for 24 hours even after they I Hillatold me it would only take an hour or so with an appointment. I called and texted to confirm it was ready and they did not respond when I came to get my bike that was not done 24 hours later Courtney was so rude that it left me almost crying. She said it wasn't done and didn't know when it would be so just take my bike. My bike is my relief from this craziness and I truly hope people stop going here. Update: After my traumatizing experience I went to Bike Attack in playa and they were so amazing! Turn around in 20 min and everyone was friendly and wearing mask! Yea! read more

I was looking for a Phil Wood bottom bracket for my new bike. I could have ordered it online, but I heard good things about LAB and decided to see if they could source the part for me. I called the store and was immediately assisted by Anna. Although the specific size bottom bracket I needed was not in stock, Anna said she could order it for me from a nearby warehouse. Within less than 24 hours I was notified that my new bottom bracket arrived and was ready for pickup. Anna/LAB provided great customer service! Check this place out. read more

That's funny you said I went to do test drive because I've never been to your shop before lol. Good insult tho lol. And nice lies. Very professional of you.

At the end of the day my rating for you is 1 Star :) don't go here. Weird business. Shady... read more

Wonderful bike shop. I originally had an issue adding the training wheels to my son's bike and eventually made a mess of everything. Grabbed the bike and ran a few blocks to the shop. Anna took care of everything, adding the wheels and setting everything up perfectly in no time at all. Made my day, made my kid's day. read more

(UPDATE: first time I use my bike again since I went there to get my back tire fix and the tire is like in the pics DONT GO TO THIS PLACE, THE OWNER IS DISRESPECTFUL AND DOESNT GET THE JOB DONE) I brought my bike to get fixed because I couldn't get my tires pumped after storing the bike for a year. The owner of the shop got it "fixed", reviewed the bike, charged me $63, and told me "you're good, now you got tires for years" I felt happy...... Until my back tire got completely flat after using it for 20 min in the beach pathway So I got back to the store and I explained what happened She basically didn't want to accept that she screwed it up and wanted to charge again explaining me new findings that didn't make sense. I told her "But you charged me $65 and told me precisely that the bike was in perfect shape just a few hours ago" "How the f* can I predict the future?" - she yelled at me "Did you text me at all to tell me that the tire was flat?" She asked me I had to show her an email that I sent her (that obviously never read) the following day.... And that's when she stop arguing and said "get out of the shop, you are pissing me off" I left the shop so I can get my tire fixed again and when I got it back she said "get the bike and f* off" shouting at from the back of the store I said "thank you so much, you'll see my google review" And that's when she yelled at me again saying the f* like 20 times and calling me "cunt" around 5 times. It seems that I'm not the first customer that got into a price or a "fake fix" issue with her This is what we call customer-centric approach..... read more

Hey! So today I was by LA Brakeless, and realized I hadn't given a review yet. Anyways, short version is that Anna did a dream build for me. I never met Anna before but knew the shop and the reputation. After talking to her for less than 20 minutes I knew I was in good hands. It was a great process of communication and guidance toward something I'm forever grateful to be lucky enough to own and enjoy on a daily basis. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Anna is incredibly talented! read more

Anna... You are a great mechanic with a serious chip on your shoulder. Furthermore, you are not a friendly human. I get that things are difficult for everybody during the pandemic but you seriously don't want to be interacting with people. read more

UPDATE: the owners comment below asking me to clarify my review should further add that she literally has literally no organization at all in her business. PSA: If the negative reviews all have the same story (which they do!) do yourself a favor and avoid this business with all your might. Look, we really wanted to give this place a shot. Woman-owner why not. But, her communication is HORRENDOUS. We dropped off bike parts earlier in August, and we were told it would be a one week turnaround. Perfect! One week rolls around, nothing. We hear back from her a couple days past a week and she says it will be done in a few days. Nothing. We go to her bike shop because we are tired of not hearing from her, it's closed. During times that say that she would be open. I understand these are COVID times, but that's really not an an excuse when literally every other business has adapted and put up their new hours. Another week goes by. Nothing. After countless calls and texts she finally responds and seems really confused which bike parts were ours? She had no organization or a way to tell which parts were even ours. Said they were "being worked on." Another week rolls around and she finally says that the bike is complete. Now, mind you these were pretty nice bike wheels that will go on a rather nice bike so when we finally were picking it up she noted this saying that these bike wheels are nice and she would be happy to build the complete bike for us! To which we replied "f*** no!" Why would we want this woman anywhere near our bike when she had it nearly three weeks? With zero communication?! It's hardly a business and more of a scam. And the way she comments back on these Yelp reviews? Calling people "brats" that's honestly more notable than her service. Poor character. Terrible work ethic. Don't come here lol. Happy biking! read more

I just bought a bike off of states website and needed a pro to assemble it for warranty reasons. So decided to support our small businesses in the area. Read some of these reviews and not sure what people are disgruntled about? Anna is a pro. Just text her at the business number. She'll get back to you. We're in a pandemic have some patience and empathy y'all. We coordinated drop off and pick up. Got my paperwork emailed for the warranty and life is good. She did an amazing job. Yeah business hours don't match what's on Yelp vs her website but who cares. Just get in contact with her. Set it up and stop being such babies. Support local businesses!! read more

Go here if you're wanting to spend top dollar for regular bike accessories. Plus no returns are allowed. It's definitely convenient tho.

My only experience with cycling is with mountain bikes. So when I decided to pull the trigger with a daily commuter, I didn't want to settle with some walmart brand bike. I found what I wanted and called around. LA Brakeless was the only shop to get back to me. AND they had exactly what i wanted! Within a day of some back and forth due to covid and what not, I was out the door with a State Bicycle Co. 4130. The experience was awesome and I've already recommended a few friends to buy from here. I figure I'll be back for some holiday shopping for my nephews in need of bikes. read more

Sunny Cycles - Bad A$$ State Bicycle Co 4130 - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's truly painful for me to write this review. As a Venice resident, I try to support locally-owned businesses at all costs, esp female-run businesses. But my customer service experience here was absolutely atrocious, and the store-owner, Anna, is one of the worst people I've ever encountered. I was in a tight bind and needed a new bike after mine was stolen, as it's my primary form of transportation. I put in an order on Sunday Oct 20, and Anna said the parts should arrive within 48 hours. I didn't hear anything from her by Tuesday, so I had to call and find out there was an extra part that wasn't in stock, and that the bike would be ready by the weekend (no biggie, things happen, I get it). But then, three more days passed, and when the weekend rolled around, I'd still heard nothing, so called, and she said the place that was shipping the parts was closed due to road closures in certain parts of the city, and my bike would be ready by mid-week (Oct 30). I requested that I could use a placeholder bike due to the extended delay, and she allowed me to come by and get one (this is the least she could do after a week+ delay of my order). Mid-week came and went, so I call again, and she says the bike would be ready by the weekend. This has now been TWO WEEKS, since I made my initial order, and Anna has not called me ONCE for a status update, I have had to constantly call to see what has been going on. She literally ignored my calls, because after not picking up twice, I used a friend's phone, and wouldn't you know, she picked up! Here's the best part -- when I finally was able to pick up the bike, I calmly expressed to her that I wasn't satisfied with my customer service experience, and would have liked to have received status updates for the numerous delays. She IMMEDIATELY went on the defensive, trying to proclaim she DID call me to give me status updates (I have the call records, she has not called me once unless it was to return a call I made trying to see whats up). She yelled at me to "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY STORE!" and said that I clearly have mental and anger problems, so at that point I popped off and told her what I really think - that she's an absolute bitch and has NO business running a local store. As I left she kept yelling "BYE BITCH!" over and over again like a damn high schooler...seriously?? She is a PIECE OF WORK. I've spent $400+ at this place and wish I could take it all back. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM LA BRAKELESS. She has no business staying in operation, and I truly hope she goes under for the sake of the local biking community. It's also very revealing of her character to read her responses on these other bad yelp reviews, zero accountability. Can't wait to see how she responds to this one. There are tons of great shops around the area, go there. Don't ever go here. read more

This place is an absolute joke and should not be in business. Don't take your bike here. I write this knowing full well they still have my bike in their possession, because a routine tune up (what was promised to be a 2-3 job) lasted 8 days. This past Saturday, I finally got the call after 8 days that the tune up was complete. Mind you, I had checked in every day the previous week to inquire what was taking so long. I would either be sent to voicemail (which is full and non-operational) or told they were super busy and would get back to me as soon as the job was done. I finally got that call on Saturday, when I'd already left town for Mother's Day weekend. Now I'm back in town, it's Monday, 6:45pm. I stopped by to pick the bike up at 630pm, as the store is advertised to be open til 7pm on Mondays. As of this time are closed with bars over the windows, no one is answering the phone, and the voicemail is still full. Simply put they should not be in business. I live across the street and will do my best to stop people from walking inside this business. Forget yelp, I'm considering fliers in front of Mitsuwa and MV Take Away. Hacks. You're not busy, you're just lazy. Never seen another human being in your store. I'll be back at 1pm during my lunch break for the bike tomorrow, because god knows I don't trust you'll be open til 5pm as advertised. Worst TUESDAY 5/14 EDIT / RESPONSE Thanks for the reply Anna, I notice that you're now magically closed today after responding to my review. I bet that's tough, seeing that you're running a "24 hr, 7 days a week, weekends, holidays, working-through-vacation-when-manage-take-one, up at night worrying, all the time, in your bones -type of job." Closing unexpectedly on a Tuesday must be rough for a person with your level of commitment! I'm so sorry for this turn of events! I appreciate your sentiment on small businesses and the difficulties running them. It's why I brought you my bike. Oh, and it's why I overpaid you for a routine tune up that takes a maximum of two hours, and was okay with giving you 3-4 days to complete the work. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't money in exchange for service the definition of supporting your business? On the flip side, isn't inefficiency and negligence, a bad way to do business - small or large? You say I dropped my bike off "Friday evening, right before close." It was 4:15pm, Anna. You closed at least 40 minutes earlier than advertised yesterday, and are now closed today. You are not sacrificing everything for the love of the game as you stated. I paid you, I want my bike. Based on your response, I wouldn't be surprised if you've already taken a sledgehammer to it, but I want it back anyway. I paid you. What you're doing is probabaly illegal, and really sus. That being said, hit me up if you are down actually just leave it at Mitsuwa, that would be killing two birds with one stone and way more convenient than coming back to your store for my bike, which is being held hostage. #FreeTheFuji read more

Sunny Cycles - closed tuesday ? - Bikes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Fantastic bike shop!! Anna helped me find the perfect bike and was considerate when it came to my budget. I left with feeling very satisfied after taking 2 out for test rides and chatting with her about the different specs. I've found my new home base for all my biking questions & needs!! read more

I have been a customer of LAB since 2012. Honestly, the thing I love most about this bike shop is that it is woman owned and operated. Anna is incredibly talented when it comes to bikes and she is a no bullshit woman so when I make crazy requests, she is honest and open about what my expectations should be. I went in on a Sunday evening just before closing to hammer out some details for a few upgrades for my Bianchi Pista. Anna let me sit down and look through all options and guided me to what she thought would aesthetically, financially and physically please me. I selected a beautiful Gilles Berthoud saddle in dark brown. Anna then helped me to color match and find a faux-leather grip tape (for quarter of the price of real leather) and matching straps for my cages. This took time and effort on her part and I am grateful. She let me know that she would need to order my tires and saddle and gave me her best guess of when it could be picked up. She sent me text updates and when some pieces couldn't be ordered she called to give me other options. All in all it took less than 2 weeks to get all parts and labor completed. Communication was top notch, excellent customer service and my bike looks so sick! The owner is literally running this shop on her own so every bike that's dropped off, she is doing all the work. Lots of love and effort goes in to each bike and my Pista and I are incredibly happy with that TLC!!! As an avid cyclist and a woman, I have had my fair share of uncomfortable interactions with men in bike shops. I have often been made to feel less than because although I am an avid cyclist, I have yet to learn how to fix my own tires. I have often been dismissed, rushed out the door, or hit on, rather than helped with what I have entered bike shops for. Having another female there is always comforting and when reading some other reviews, it makes me sad to see that the owner gets a bad rep for being a woman with something to say. It makes me wonder if the owner were a man that behaved the same way as the female owner, would y'all have anything bad to say or would it be acceptable? All the dudes that have worked there over the years have had the same "no bullshit" attitude yet no bad reviews about the men. I digress. One other key factor is that LAB is all about community! They host community events all year round that celebrate cycling, the arts, and family. If you haven't checked out any of their events, I highly recommend it. Thank you Anna and LAB for all your help, your vision and your dedication to cycling! Me and my Pista thank you!! read more

Anna is patient and kind and knows her stuff. I wasn't sure what bike was right for me, but she talked me through the whole process. In the end, I've got a killer black single speed with copper pedals and I couldn't be happier with my copper pony.
