Balboa Bikes N Beach Stuff

Quick and cheap. Would definately rent again!
$ 10 for an hour, get the second hour free (winter special) and each additional hour is only $ 5 more.
My boyfriend and I had a great time riding down the boardwalk and will definitely rent again!

Some times its just the little things that a business does to make a difference. My partner and I ride our bikes down this path quite a bit. This past Sunday my partners seat was squeaking over every little bump. It was driving us both a little crazy and we had intentions to ride all the way to HB. So we stopped at the first bike shop we could, Balboa Bikes N Beach Stuff. I headed inside to ask if they had some WD40 I could use. I kinda expected them to blow me off. But, no, without hesitation they offered a can of the really good stuff for lubricating chains. I took it outside and with 2 small squirts we had a much more peaceful ride ahead of us.
Thank You!

God forbid you should need air, the 2 punks working were total a#@holes, cussing in front of kids, talking crap about customers. Stopped here plenty of times and never had an issue but these 2 morons give the place a bad name.

We rented 2 bikes here for $ 10 each — worked as advertised! Also the dog Pickles was super cute.

Such an easy process and a great deal! My boyfriend and I arrived around 12 pm this past Saturday for bike rentals. We literally walked in, said we needed two bikes, paid, picked out color bikes & were on our way, less than 5 mins. The people who work here are very kind. Plus the animal lover in me, loves their German Shepherd! She’s beautiful. It was $ 20.50 for a an all day rental for 2 bikes, and they gave us locks and a basket at no additional price. It’s in a great location, we were able to bike down to the pier, the fun zone, bars/​restaurants and check out the great houses along the way. We will definitely come back with family and friends in the future for a leisurely afternoon :).

We love this family owned Bike Shop. For 15 years we have enjoyed a park and ride smooth rental process. Hats off to the business that knows only one way to accommodate.

Super easy … walk up, get a bike, go for a ride. $ 10 all day, bikes were clean and easy to use, location fantastic! We will be back!

The bikes are fantastic Debbie the owner is amazing coming back for the rest of my life

Great place to rent bikes for the whole day! only $ 10! Great customer service! Also comes with bike locks and basket! Definitely coming back!

$ 10 for an all day 9am-​9pm bike rental. How can you complain about that price?
However, many bikes in the fleet are complete Jalopies. My first bike had shoddy brakes and a loose chain. I took it back for an easy exchange for a better one.
They’ve got about 100 bikes for rent. All are single speed bikes with coaster brakes.
Kids bikes (20″ and larger) available and a bin of old helmets to try on.
My advice is to bring your own helmet if you have your own. The kids were cringing while trying on some of the old and stained helmets.
Bikes come with baskets and locks.
Excellent service.
Parking nearby can be a nightmare on weekends/​holidays.
Good location. Pick up the bike and go north on the boardwalk or cross the street for the Balboa Island ferry.
Looking forward to another visit.

This place is awesome to rent a beach cruiser and enjoy the ride down the beach! For $ 10/​day, it’s a steal! People are very nice too!

I popped in there, middle of summer rush, to get some help with an old bike. Debbie and her team was amazing. They got me all set up. There is nothing more anyone could do to make for a great experience. It is so nice to support local business owners in the area.
No question I will refer everyone to Balboa Bikes!

Their bikes are $ 10 all day, yes. But those bikes are beach cruisers without handle brakes.
As a biker, I know that handle brakes are better and safer. So I asked for that type of bike.
Unfortunately, that costs $ 20 per day.
Even when I told them that my sisters and I only needed the bikes for three hours, they wouldn’t budge on the price. I left disappointed and rented elsewhere.

These guys are so friendly, great customer service, they will give you pricing over the phone, bikes come with locks and baskets.

Easy. Great prices. Hassle-​free. What more can you ask for?
Rented a couple bikes, in and out in under 5 mins. Shop just required an ID to photocopy (copy returned to you when you bring back the bikes) and payment.
Bikes were really comfy – no complaints.
Bike drop-​off took under a minute. Just handed over bikes, and they gave us back the photocopy of our ID.
GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PRODUCTS. Would definitely return/​recommend this shop for bike renters.

I chose Balboa Bikes out of all the bike shops in the Newport Beach area as it was open the latest and had the best reviews! You can’t beat a solid 5 star review rating!
We were coming from the John Wayne airport as we just flew in from Vancouver and I typed in their address on the GPS… The biggest surprise was that we had to take a tiny 3 car ferry which cost us $ 4 to get over to the shop as we took a short cut through Balboa Island. (There were other ways but of course this is the way we came!) It was a beautiful cruise though, and we got to see the cute little houses and vacation homes along the water… Gorgeous!
We found Balboa Bikes right away, as it is on the main street and directly on the corner for everyone to see! When we got inside, we were greeted by a nice friendly man who got our bikes ready immediately. I got a pink cruiser and my husband got a matte black cruiser with a trailer for our 2 year old daughter. It cost us $ 25 which is pretty cheap as it’s an all day rental price. We rode our bikes down to the Newport pier and enjoyed the sights in between.
If I ever visit Newport again, I will definitely rent another bike from Balboa Bikes N Beach Stuff. They are the best!

On Valentine’s Day my wife and I rented a couple of beach cruisers from Balboa Bikes N Beach Stuff. First of all the good folks working there are friendly, fun and fast! Secondly, we were in and out in less that ten minutes with two bikes at the incredible price of $ 10 each for all day!
The bikes were older, but in excellent condition and smooth riding!
I’ll be back!

Best place to rent bikes in newport/​balboa. They are the only place that lets you rent the latest. I’ve returned the bikes at 930 or 10 pm sometimes. I take all my friends from out of town here to rent bikes and have a nice bike ride on the boardwalk to the bars and to the wedge. You can take your time having drinks and watching the sunset. I’ve rented at a bunch of different places in newport and huntington and they all close at 5−6pm.
This place only charges $ 10 for the whole day. They also have a nice german shepherd that’s usually there to greet you when you come in :)

CALI LIFE SO CHEAP!
I love this place! There’s bike rentals all over the beach but I liked this spot because it’s away from the «party» crowd and the bikes are clean and cheap. $ 10 for all day and they have a variety of nice color beach cruisers.
Steps from the beach!

Great place to rent a bike for a day! $ 20 dollars for the whole day! Awesome!
My boyfriend and I went to Newport Beach with the intentions of renting a bike and riding it along the coast, so we found this place with a very good deal and they had tandem ones too. So we rented out a tandem bike and rode from Newport to Bolsa Chica. We had one stop for lunch in Huntington Beach and the whole trip took about 4 – 5 hours — really nice way to spend a day at the beach.
The service was wonderful and the young guy that helped us was super helpful and super friendly.
I really do recommend this place the next time you want to rent a bike — he even let other people locked their own personal bikes there while they went on an hour cruise… as I witness while trying to rent a bike out.
Their bikes are all in pretty good shape and have plenty of choices.
