Best Cycle and Ski shop in L.A.
by CLitt at Citysearch
Knowlegable and friendly staff. This is the only shop I will take by bike to. With todays soaring gas prices, I rely on my bike more than ever and Summit keep it in great shape. Even if I only need air in my tires and they are busy, they are never too busy help. When something doesn't feel right, the owner and his staff are there to offer advice and tips.
When the snow begins to fall, Summit is the only place I go to have my skis tuned. If I need more equipment, they are the only place I tell friends to go to rent snowboards and skis. Their rentals are maintained expertly and the rental process is "painless".
Give Summit a try. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you for my obsession...

When I arrived, I was dragging an eight year old MTB in that hadn't even been reassembled properly after being shipped and serving as a dust holder for over four years. Shortly thereafter, I was biking Sepulveda pass daily. Five months later they gave me a 50% discount on cleats since my feet were just the size they weren't selling.
They offer great service and friendly advice, always making time to help me put my gear together when I buy new parts. I got a whole list of trails, maps, and tips with no pressure to buy, except for a helmet for my safety.
Even though I'm sponsored and happy with Cynergy, I make a point to still do some business here in thanks to their wonderful reliable customer service. I like everyone I talk to when I go into the store and enjoy hanging out with them while I browse.

Good Local Bike Shop
by asphaltjesus at Citysearch
Every time I go in to Summit, they've got what I need at a decent price and the help is always friendly. They've done some work on my family bikes when I didn't have time and as a former mechanic checking it later, the work was professional.
Everyone living in nearby Westchester/MDR should go there. It's a trustworthy shop.
Regarding the first review, I can see how it would happen. As a former bike mechanic who actually *had* to check for english/italian/others in the 80's I promise you most people working in a shop today cannot fathom the notion that such variety existed. I would chalk it up to a bad day at the shop for the mechanic. I know I had them.
- Pros: Great selection, Great service, Great prices
- Cons: Tough to spot flying along Lincoln Blvd. Tip: park in back!
