    There's that phone number, people.
    Julien B.

    It's a trip to find your local cyclery (not a word apparently) when you move and catch your first flat and --yes of course I know how to change a tire, but why not let the pros handle it for $10, what're you cheap? Not into supporting small businesses? Well what're you doing on Yelp then?! --you look up the nearest one and walk there with your crippled bicycle in tow and you start seeing parts of the neighborhood you hadn't walked through before, and folks might stare a bit, but I myself am grateful and humbled by the fact that I can travel anywhere and am not bound to a few city blocks the way that some folks are. Watts is a troubled part of town still reeling from the riots of 1965 and of course the racism at the root of those riots is still very much alive unfortunately. Back to the cyclery though, I arrived at length and found a lovely silent pair of people going about their business quietly. The lady took a phone call and handed it to the man who explained their hours of operation to someone speaking quite loudly about coming in tomorrow. Very good, very good, suit yourself there Gaston. After that it was my turn and I explained to the man that I caught a flat over yander near the Figueroa Stables where the needles run thick (I didn't explain all that, but I'm finding myself explaining it to you, dear reader, have I mentioned lately that I love you?). He had only one question for me: heavy duty inner tube? Yes of course my dear man, and nothing less. It's $10 he said and I thought to myself "that's a small price to pay for getting my beloved wheels back". He got to work and I went down the way for a cold beer. By the time I got back he was done. I handed him a $20 and was off to the races! I'm sure we'll see each other again. Stay safe, everyone, and keep biking. Remember that Belgium gained their independence from the Netherlands on October 4th, 1830 and that Eddy Merckx is still the man.

    Swapped my inner tube out for a heavy duty tube in minutes. I think the charge was $16.

    Best bike shop in all of LA…read more The staff here is always super friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Juan took the time to help us really understand the new bike and made the whole process easy and enjoyable, never rushed. They also have lots of bike options to choose from, whether you're new to biking or more experienced. You can tell they genuinely care about helping you find the right fit, not just making a sale. Highly recommend if you're looking for great service, expertise, and a welcoming vibe.

    Went in and ended up getting an Extremely expensive, all electric AddMotor Trike. I was ready to…read morepay in full for it, but salesman talked me into the 'Extended Pay' program through Synchrony Bank and the 'Freedom to Ride' program! IF YOU CAN PAY, DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM!! They automatically give you a credit card, over 30% interest! Before I got any paperwork for the 'free loan' they sent me an unsolicited credit card with interest on that card over 30%! I thought it was an unsolicited credit card so I cut it up and threw it away. Almost instantly, I got daily comments through text messages, why have you not activated your credit card? Your credit card needs to be activated immediately!! I don't want their over 30% credit card!! Followed by texts, counting down days to payment due! When I try and set up account on the Synchrony bank app., to make a payment, I find that without a Synchrony bank account or their credit card, They tell me that they can't find me and no payment can be made at this time. No Credit Card or Checking or Savings account, located with Synchrony. So I call them and get someone with extremely limited English at the Offshore Call Center!! This person tells me that they will only accept payments through the Synchrony Bank. Either mail a check or money order, or my personal bank debit card information. Tried to pay in FULL using my personal debit card, but would not accept payment more than $500.00. I am glad this is a one purchase only transaction, because I will never go back to a business that insists on me using their payment program, instead of letting me go ahead and pay for my purchase at the time of purchase! P.S. I do enjoy the trike, just not the company that I have to make the payments to!! I just won't be going back very soon to this business! I located a shop near me that lubed the squeaks and will do any future repairs I may need. Also, their "chat" is not actually live. They tell you they will contact you in a few minutes, but it's been over hours and I'm still waiting.

    This cafe and bike shop is such a hidden gem!!! It's in the tucked away neighborhood of Frogtown,…read moreright along the LA River. I found it on yelp a while ago and knew I wanted to check it out. It's at the end of a dead end street and I'm not going to lie, I second guessed my directions at first. But it is there! It's counter service with a massive patio. So much cool art on the walls and lots of shade. I didn't expect it to be so big from the pictures I saw online. The bike shop and rentals are in the back. I didn't rent a bike, but I did look a the cute shop and bought a cool bandana with birds on it! I ordered the breakfast tacos and a cortado and let me tell you, you they were the best breakfast tacos I've ever had. I was skeptical because I love breakfast burritos, but these were perfect. Delicious sauce, crunchy potatoes, I added kale and oyster mushrooms. The friendly cashier recommended them and told me they are only on the weekday menu though, so keep that in mind! The coffee was smooth and perfectly made with a cute little design on it. Everything came out quickly. I saw they also have a great beer list with lots of local breweries, so I'm definitely going to come back for dinner/happy hour very soon! Oh! They told me they just got their liquor license and are going to have a full drink menu soon, so I am totally looking forward to having cocktails here. If you've been thinking about coming to this place, do it!

I ordered the breakfast burrito with avocado. The size of the burrito was nice, I ate 3/4 of it. Eggs were solid, but the potatoes were occasionally burned? Based on where you bit into lol. Tortilla was good. Not the biggest fan of the smashed avocado in the burrito (I like whole avocado) but that's just a preference. Hot sauce was really good though! I'd come back if I were in the area.
