Acquiring expert-level knowledge in a particular industry is not a walk in the park. It comes from long hours, sleepless nights, trial-and-error, and arduous work.
Gaining trust within a community and consistently providing the utmost in quality service, year after year, requires serious passion, and dedication.
At The Bike Shop California, we are well versed in all types of cycling. Our profound expertise in the field of electric bikes and commuter bikes comes with over 15 years of experience in the bicycle industry. Andrew Smith, the owner of The Bike Shop California and Santa Monica, curated a team of individuals that are fully committed to cycling and the lifestyle that comes with it.
“We actually listen to the customer’s needs and aim to please. We have been helping customers one-on-one find their perfect bike for their riding style for over 15 years.”
In Culver City and Santa Monica, we offer bike assembly, a wide range of brands, and build some of the most unique and versatile custom bikes. Riding a custom bike can be a simple process. Start with choosing your frameset, components, and with your exact specifications, our professional bike mechanics will assemble your dream bike.
The Bike Shop California team consists of some of LA’s most experienced, certified, bicycle mechanics, ranging from 10-30 years in the business.
We don’t have a “one size fits all” mindset
Bikes come in all different shapes and sizes. No matter how you look at it, there isn’t one bike that fits everyone, and we are committed to finding the right bike that suits you and your needs best.
Our state of the art service center provides the right foundation and tools for our pro mechanics to work efficiently. We happily serve the neighboring communities as well, like Beverly Hills, Beverlywood, Westwood, Rancho Park, Cheviot Hills, Palms, Culver City, Century City, Mar Vista, Playa Vista, Westchester, and West Los Angeles.
“Awesome bikes, awesome prices, awesome people. I went all over town looking for a bike shop that was fair and reasonable. Not only did I find that at The Bike Shop, but more importantly, I found someone who actually cares about his customers and making them happy.”
A delighted customer
Commuter Bikes
Bike commuters regularly visit us. Therefore, we consider it very important to advocate for the plethora of benefits that come along with commuting.
New developments in cycling infrastructure mean that more and more people are commuting to work and leaving their cars at home. Even the person that needs to drive and then ride the rest of the way has found the perfect bike at The Bike Shop.
We carry a fully stocked inventory for every kind of budget and the sizes to match. One of the many things that we don’t skimp on is quality. So be prepared to get a bike and service from people that are knowledgable and care about your wellbeing.
When we work with companies to organize commuter bikes, the employees frequently refer their friends to come and buy bikes as well. There are many reasons that this happens, but we’ve heard it’s because our customers trust our opinion. The authentic vibe and atmosphere at our two locations is one that comfortably invites you into the world of bicycles.
Cargo Bikes
People enjoy stopping by The Bike Shop California, and The Bike Shop Santa Monica for more reasons than buying bikes. Sometimes it’s to have a chat about the latest news in cycling, and sometimes it’s to show off how much their dog loves their new cargo bike!
We’ve built more cargo bikes than we can count — everything from customized cargo bikes for dogs, to electric cargo bikes for delivery drivers. If one of the brands we carry doesn’t make it, normally, we can modify a cargo bike just for you.
Years of working on cargo bikes and consulting with companies to improve their designs gave us a wealth of information to pull from when designing the perfect bike for someone.
The owner, Andrew, has even built a custom Benno e-bike just for him and his son to ride around in. Sometimes you can even catch him riding into work after dropping his kid off at school. Being that The Bike Shop chain is family-run, it’s always good to practice what you preach.
Electric Bikes
Electric bikes have changed the way we can commute to and from work forever! Not only is it more affordable in the long term, but it’s better for your overall health. Sure, there’s an electric motor helping you drive the bike forward, but you still have to steer the bike.
We’ve been working on electric cargo bikes, electric box bikes like the Bunch Bike, electric commuters, cruisers, and even road bikes since they popped up on the scene. Our jumpstart with technological advancements in e-bikes, put us in place to help you decide which option will be best for you.
Since we build and repair electric bicycles of all kinds, getting you on an e-bike with a powerful motor to last you all day is just one pitstop away. We’ve worked with some of the best brands in the business to help improve the latest electric bicycle technologies. As regular consultants for well-known e-bike brands, you can be sure that we’re offering you a curated selection of tried and tested electric bikes.
Not all bike shops are the same
We aren’t just another bike shop. The Bike Shop Santa Monica started as a “Mom and Pop” shop that has been home to fixie crews, hardcore mountain bikers, road cyclists, and families. Taking over the old Palms Cycles store and expanding into The Bike Shop California has been a critical part of our evolution. We’re a full service, bike repair, bike assembly, custom, bike shop that will make you feel at home from the minute you walk – or ride – in the door.
