Santa Monica Beach Bicycle Rentals — Local services in Santa Monica

Quick and easy bike rentals here. Bikes are $15 a piece all day until 4pm. This is a cash only establishment, although they do have an ATM inside the bike shop. The owner and associate are pleasant, fast and super efficient with the transactions.

It is not a bad ride to the beach, but it is on busy, major thoroughfares with bike lanes. It is quite a hill down to the beach (and back up) so the single speed bikes might need to be walked (we got multi-speed bikes for the...

I needed a decent bike for a day and it was fine. I called around town and the other shop that I found that had road bikes was about twice as expensive (though there bikes were much higher quality)

The road bikes are adequate and their prices are reasonable. They were quite good about swapping out my pedals. I could have use a larger bike and they could have been more precise about how much more it would cost if I kept the bike till the next day, but all is fine. And they were kind enough to let me use their restroom to freshen up after my ride.

One thing---I hate leaving my ID to secure a bike. It makes me nervous to not have my drivers license when I am traveling. If they had lost it or had a burglary I might not have been able to...
