Loved this shop and the staff! Bikerowave is a an awesome non-profit with some reasonably priced bikes. The people are passionate about fixing bikes and making sure everyone can experience the joys of biking. Michael helped me pick a bike and spent 30 minutes talking through the different considerations in buying a used bike. He also let me test ride the different bikes and also helped me understand the differences in the types of gears and speeds. I ultimately got a used mountain bike there for about $180 but they had bikes in the low $100 range or less. There was also a kid's bike for $25. There is always a chance you find a cheaper bike on OfferUp but this shop has a great mission and has people that truly care about biking. Highly recommend checking it out!

This is a FANTASTIC place to get your bike fixed up WHILE YOU LEARN HOW! Bikes are super cool, and it's really nice to get a sense for how your ride works. We're often so separated from how things are made that it's quite gratifying to actually get a real sense for that in a bike... which will NOTICEABLY ride better after you leave! (So satisfying!). Be prepared to get your hands dirty and have a good time. :) If you pay your SMC Student Activities dues, time here is also free! (you gotta have your student ID number etc. to get that signed off so the place can get paid thru SMC). Honestly, it's totally worth paying the hourly fee to learn how to fix your bike from nice people AND use their tools, grease, etc. I imagine the fixes I made could have easily been like $150-$200 at another shop... and I wouldn't have learned a thing, nor had such a good time, nor feel that continual satisfaction of a smooth riding bike. THANK YOU BIKEROWAVE!! I'm gonna recommend people come to buy and fix their bikes from here forever, as I hope you're around forever.

Bicycle repair and bicycle learning at its finest. Parts and accessories for sale, both used and new. As a cooperative, rather than a commercial bike repair shop where they do it for you - you have a tutor who stays with you during the process and leads you to success.I was excited to do it myself, jus not all in one session. The all-volunteer staff supports you to Do It Yourself, with bike stands, tools, guidance.My volunteer had done bike mechanics as a pro somewhere in the South Bay.One time I had to search through used parts to find what I needed. I must’ve saved $100 on that one piece of gear and crank combination.They have a store in the back that sells the new parts that you might need or want.You get well crafted music playlist. There is a small library with some helpful books and others.It’s a great neighborhood -Venice and Centinela- with bike lanes and much shopping. There’s Mitsuwa a giant Japanese market, Mexican El Rancho market hidden behind O’Reilly’s, Asian food/ market Fatty Mart, and even a bowling alley nearby. Streetlife on weekend eves.

This place is great. If you need your bicycle fixed, this is definitely the place to come. They have very spring showers because it's a co-op and everybody works together. Because it's the co-op prices are reasonable and everybody is super friendly. There's no doubt I definitely recommend Bikerowave.

I had a really great experience at the shop. I came in on a Wednesday night with a flat tire and then volunteer showed me how to replace the tube. He was very kind and patient. I will tell all of my friends come in.

Hurray for people who understand what it takes to get people on bikes and keep them riding. It takes friendly people helping you learn how to be competent with your bike and sharing bike resources. I'm bike camping for the first time and I was encouraged to come back 3 times and helped enormously each time until all my equipment was right and works perfectly for my upcoming travel needs. Wow!
