Velo Studio

This place will satisfy all your spinning needs. Walked in with new fresh spinning shoes and the rep cut and nailed spinning things to the bottom of my shoes. Very helpful folks.

Went in there on Friday hoping to buy a new bike but I quickly changed my mind. The employees have a terrible attitude. Why work in a place you hate? At least that’s what it appeared to me. The owner should really look into this because it could really affect the business.

I love spinning and even had become a certified spinning instructor. I just kept having a problem with my shoes becoming unlocked in the middle of class. I convinced myself that it would get better, but it just didn’t. It was finally time to go to a professional. So I came into Velo and everyone was so helpful. It turned out it was MY SHOES! The cleats could not go on straight because the place to put the cleats on was not a straight line. They advised me to get new shoes and had really great deals. They even were able to put on my old cleats from my shoes to save me money. And you know what ??? IT WORKED! I only wish I would of come here sooner. Thanks guys! You rock!

If you’re in Atwater and need any bike services this is a great spot, I’ve been helped a couple times from replacing my tires, installing brakes, tightening of the spokes, they also have all the bike gear and bikes and nutrition… anything bike related they have it, also the staff there is friendly, and really cool. Their service prices are really affordable and sometimes really cheap. I would go there just to get an appraisal if you need any services done. Well worth it! Continue the great work!

Can’t say enough about the service and the people; in particular Jake!!! I was looking for a gift; mind you I don’t even know how to ride a bike; so imagine the ignorance and the number of questions I asked. Jake was incredibly helpful, had the patience of a saint with me, extremely knowledgeable, and very friendly! They even agreed to an exchange if it doesn’t work out since it was a gift. I would absolutely recommend this shop to everyone! In fact, once I learn how to ride a bike, that’s where I’m getting mine :) I hope Jake can handle another 2 days of questions and indecision on my part.

My wife and I are avid road cyclists — around 10,000 miles/​year. Finding a GREAT mechanic is critical to us. We just moved to Glendale and found Velo Studio… first impression walking in the door was, oh, this is a small shop. But after talking with Jack one of the mechanics, we were super impressed. Very personable. And an excellent mechanic — as we have learned first hand. First my wife’s road bike… Jack had her bike for a full service and the bike came back looking brand new and riding like it was brand new… Super thrilled with his skills and quick turn-​around time. Quality of the work will have us returning for all our service needs! Jack rocks and we are stoked to have found Velo Studio… we’ll be sure to visit their larger store in Pasadena… but the Studio store seems to have everything we would need in terms of gear, supplies, tires, tubes, etc. Thanks!

Went in for the first time, looked nice a Lil small but was in their for 3 minutes and couldn’t stand the obnoxious guy working on the bike with his rude attitude and annoying responses led me to continue my search for a new bike shop. any suggestions

First and last time I go to this bike shop. I checked out this shop because it’s really convenient to bikers that ride through the LA River. I got caught off guard without my tools and got a flat in the route so I decided to check this shop out. I went in and asked the employee if he could fix it and he said that they didn’t have the key to my skewer. I have never had a bike shop telling me that they don’t have the appropriate tools to fix my bike. He said the only way he could fix my flat was to install a quick release at an additional cost. After he was done he started bashing my bike saying that there’s a lot of things wrong with it. Theres a way of saying things in a good manner but this guy had a really bad attitude. He was probably having a bad day or something. I stayed cool because I didn’t want to get in any kind of trouble. What a way to treat a first time customer. I have a lot of friends that go riding in this route and I’m going to make sure to they spread the word about how this place treats its customers. I was hoping to patronize this shop with my friends because it’s so conveniently located next to the LA River but thanks to the employee it’s not going to happen.

Came through here for a quick shoe adjustment. Very friendly and quick service. Appreciated it.

This place is so overpriced. The cheapest pump they had was over 50 dollars and I found the exact same one at another bike shop for 20 dollars less.

Helped me out with adjusting my seat while cruising around town. Will definitely return for future service. Thank you!

Great bike shop, I usually stop in to by some GU before I head out into the mountains, and before today that was really my only experience with them. Today the inevitable happened and I got in a wreck along the river with another cyclist who was not paying attention. Broke my pedal body (Look Kéo blade 2) and knocked my bars off center, so I rode over to get at least my bars straight so I could ride home. While having a nice conversation about my options on the broken pedal (they cannot be rebuilt nor does Look sell individual parts or pedals) they straightened and retorqued my steam and I was on my way. Based on my experience I will definitely be making this shop my go to for tune ups from now on. Both of the employees seemed very knowledgable and eager to do good work on bikes, which as sad as it is, seems not to be the norm. Give them your business and you won’t be disappointed.

I popped in on this place for the first time on a ride with a friend. I couldn’t get anything, so I went back a couple of days later. I spent some time there and some money. The staff was super helpful, very informed and friendly. Super friendly… and come on… let’s face the fact… not many cyclists have great social skills. ;)
If you ride and need a quick stop for coffee or water or a sit down they have a resting post fully equipped with hanging racks. Quite the gem to roll up on.

i can’t say enough about these guys, and this shop. it’s the type of small business operation that’s like something out of a frank capra movie — the guys are friendly and professional, familiar yet rigorous, knowledgeable without the gearheaded snobbery that is characteristic of some bike shops. if you have a bike and you need some help, they’re stoked to give it to you, and that’s that. no upselling, no attitude, just a bunch of terrific dudes who want to make sure you’re having fun, safe rides around LA.
a couple weeks ago i knocked on their door 15 minutes after they’d closed because i had a popped tube and they reopened the store and fixed it for me. in the few months they’ve been open they’ve also replaced gears and greased chains and swapped out pedals for me all on site, while i wait, within minutes.
i highly, highly recommend velo studio. residents of atwater are lucky to have this great shop as a fixture of the neighborhood.

Not the same Velo. I absolutely loved the Toluca Lake shop and expected the same care and attention for my bikes. I recently took my bikes in for a major tune up but only got a once over. My chain wasn’t even greased. Close to $ 400 later, my brakes are still squishy and my chain still travels. It seems that they were in a bigger hurry even though they had my bikes for a week. I don’t mind the extra distance from Encino if the service was the same.

Amazing service. Did major tune up. Quick, great price, friendly and very knowledgeable staff.

I was huge fan of the Burbank location, and even though the Atwater location is a little further, it’s worth the drive. Customer service here is top notch. Prices are super fair. All around amazing place!

Awesome location off the LA River Path one block east from I-​5 and Los Feliz Blvd.
A number of stores carry high end gear, but as a female rider and savvy consumer, I really appreciate the quality customer service. Picked up some spare tubes, and they put my new saddle on an oddly spaced seat clamp.
They also had me lusting after some Italian frames on the wall.
Highly recommended.

There is finally a bike shop in Atwater Village!!! Very friendly staff, I showed up with my sons after they had just closed and they reopened the doors to allow us in. The shop carries a nice selection of bicycle helmets including kids sizes. They earned business.

This place is AMAZING!
It just opened recently and in a week I have been here 3 times already. Also, I kind of bought a bike too. The staff is very informative and are riders too.
This is one satisfied customer!
Will I be back?
You bet your ass I’ll be back!
