The shop

A neighborhood bike shop just for you.

The Bicycle Whisperer is here to help you have a great ride. We serve Venice, Marina Del Rey, and Santa Monica with bike repair and maintenance, short and  long-term rentals, and new and restored bikes for sale.

We sell and fix most bicycle and tricycle models, including electric bikes. We also take care of the parts other shops shrug off — assembling your brand-new bike out of the box and hauling the old one out of your garage.

Roll up during shop hours. Honest diagnosis, fair quote, no upsell.

"Whenever you are ready to ride, visit or call us today. We can't wait to meet you."
— Lance, The Bicycle Whisperer

How Lance runs the shop.

Honest Grease

Fair quotes, plain-English explanations, and no upsell. If you don't need it, Lance won't sell it to you.

Salt Air

Built for beach bikes. He knows what sand, salt, and a daily boardwalk ride do to a drivetrain — and how to fix it.

Your Neighborhood

Pickup, drop-off, and same-day turnarounds across Venice, Marina Del Rey, and Santa Monica. Walk-ins always welcome.

No appointment needed. Lance will take a look, give it a listen, and tell you exactly what it needs.
