Ride Before You Buy: West LA Bicycle's Bike Demo Program

Choosing the right bicycle shouldn't be a guessing game. Whether you're shopping for your first commuter bike, a beach cruiser, a gravel bike, or the perfect electric bike for exploring Los Angeles, nothing compares to spending a full day in the saddle.

That's why West LA Bicycle offers a Ride Before You Buy Demo Program designed to help you make the right decision with confidence.

When you rent a bike from us and later purchase a new bicycle, we'll apply your rental fees toward your purchase price—up to $250.

Our daily demo rates are simple:

eBike Rentals: $70 per day
Analog Bike Rentals: $40 per day

Instead of riding a bike around a parking lot for a few minutes, take it where you'll actually use it. Cruise the Marvin Braude Bike Path, commute through Santa Monica, explore the Venice Canals, climb the hills above the Pacific, or spend the afternoon discovering Los Angeles. Every rider is different, and the best bike is the one that feels right after real miles and not just a quick spin around the block.

We're real-deal Venicians here, and nothing is less Venice than some stuffy corpo bullshit. So we proudly stock primarily independent brands of the highest quality. We carry carefully selected bicycles from some of the industry's most respected brands, including Kona, Fairdale, State Bicycle Co., Monē, Wilde, Lectric, Cikada, and Rad Power Bikes. Whether you're looking for a dependable commuter, a versatile gravel bike, a rugged adventure bike, or a comfortable electric bike, our team can help you compare models and find the perfect fit.

Our knowledgeable staff has decades of experience helping riders of every ability. We'll help you choose the right size, dial in your fit, explain the differences between models, and recommend the accessories that will make every ride more enjoyable. Our goal isn't simply to sell you a bike. It's to make sure you leave with the bike you'll love riding for years to come.

Love the Bike You Rode? Take It Home.

Sometimes the perfect bike is the one you've already been riding.

If you fall in love with your rental, there are two great ways to make it yours. If you're purchasing a new bicycle, we'll apply up to $250 of your rental fees toward your purchase. If you'd rather own the exact bike you've been riding, ask about our former rental fleet. We regularly sell professionally maintained rental bikes at exceptional prices, giving riders an opportunity to own a premium bicycle for less.

Every rental bike is serviced by our experienced mechanics, inspected regularly, and maintained to the same standards we expect from our own bikes. Whether you choose a brand-new model or one of our meticulously maintained ex-rental bicycles, you can buy with confidence.

Located in the heart of Venice Beach, West LA Bicycle is one of Los Angeles' premier destinations for bicycle rentals, eBike rentals, bicycle sales, eBike sales, professional bicycle repair, and cycling expertise. We proudly serve riders from Venice, Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, Culver City, West Los Angeles, and visitors from around the world looking for the best bike shop near the beach.
