Daniel’s Bicycle Rentals & Sales

Found this place online — I was very happy with the service and the quality of the bikes. I would return again and recommend Daniel’s Bicycle Rentals.

Great rental place and very helpful. Have been here with out of townees for rentals and they are always pleased and the service is great. Thanks Daniels Bicycles see you this summer.

Great and reasonable place to rent bikes! Located right in MDR. This is the perfect location to get bikes because you can easily ride them along the harbor and/​or get to Venice.
They also have baskets if you request for one. And they supply locks as well! If you rent from Daniel’s, it will only cost you $ 8 an hour. I highly recommend you stopping by! The staff is extremely friendly and they are willing to set the bikes up for you however you’d like. I know I’ll be back more often during the summer to ride to Venice.

Just terrific. You can park your car for free at Doc 52 and walk over to this place. They have tons of bikes — you can choose a beach cruiser, a beach cruiser with 3 speeds or a hybrid mountain bike. They give you a lock to take with you.
The employees are super friendly, the prices are reasonable, and who doesn’t love a free scoop of ice cream after you finish a ride along the strand!

Excellent service that came with a smile! The business is conveniently located off of a bike path. Cash or card. And you get a free scoop of ice cream at the end if you rent a bike for the entire day. Will definitely come back.

Came all the way from valley to ride a bike with kids and it’s close. Time was 3:30, on Unilocal page shows they still have to work until 4:30.
Not a right way to do business. I would suggest to everyone to call them before planning your trip all the way to Marina Del Ray.
Parking is not free too… With validation only. I ended up to pay for parking because no chance to validate.
Any way this experience only about their responsibilities in front of the customers for business hours and not the quality of bikes.
I will update my review if I come back to ride their bikes.

Great service. And I’d gladly have paid double what they charged me.
I rented a hybrid cruiser for a little over an hour, just to ride the beach trail. Perfect.
Maureen was superfriendly and gave me additional advice on things to enjoy in LA.

Maureen was such a delight and this was an absolutely amazing deal. Free ice cream when you return your bike? Yes please

Maureen was SO lovely! We had a great day biking off into the sunset. affordable, free all day parking in dock 52, free locks, free baskets, free ice cream when we returned the bikes. Will definitely be back soon :)

$ 7 a an hour and you pay when you return the bike. Very helpful guys and the bikes are well kept! I saw they sell ice cream too but i had just rode 12.5 miles so i had to pass lol!

Pricing is lower than what we just paid in Hermosa. Easy in and out and right on the bike path (or road at this section). Bikes probably could have been tuned a bit, but it is the end of the season Bikes were in good shape though (Fuji Hybrids). Nice and helpful staff.

Rented bikes here for CycLAvia on Sunday and had a great and easy
and out in under 10 minutes.
My boyfriend wanted to change his bike from a mountain bike to a cruiser bike and it was absolute no hassle at all– The guy who helped us switched it out no problem.
The price was very reasonable to rent all day, and BONUS was we got a free ice cream cone after we dropped off the bikes at the ice cream shop next door.
There was also live music in the Marina pier, so we stayed a bit and enjoyed.
With so many bike rental places near Venice beach, I highly recommend this rental place. Great, friendly, and fast customer service.

rented a tandem to take my son to ciclavia for the first time. Bike wasn’t it great shape. back brake barely worked and only a couple of gears moved the chain, but i wasn’t looking for anything fancy.
after a couple miles, the front tire –which wasn’t great to start with (irregular roll) — popped. I tried calling the shop and just got voicemail. Took the bike to Helen’s cycles and they told me it was illegal for them to have rented the bike in such a condition. They repaired the inner tube but left it underinflated and recommended i take it directly back to the shop.
I was given the cost of the inner tube and didn’t have to pay for the rental which i did appreciate (though i was told their policy was to reimburse repairs and still charge for the rental — which seemed highly unfair since half of my rental was spent at a repair shop).
Beware — bikes are not in good shape. I wish I could recommend the shop because i love the location — not nearly as busy as santa monica and venice. Hoping they can get their act together.

The store is facing the parking lot. $ 12 per hour for tandem bike. Free scoop of ice cream if you do an all-​day bike rental. Great customer service, they adjust your seat if needed, quick sign in and purchase transaction. Accepts credit card. You get a bike lock for your rental. Parking lot is cash only.

Where else can you rent a bike and get an ice cream in the Marina? No where! I have to say that Daniel’s has a terrific peanut frozen banana! For $ 3.50, it’s a huge, chocolate covered, peanut-​dipped treat. The Dreyer’s ice cream flavors are plentiful too. Take a walk along Fisherman’s Village or listen to some music on the weekends. Or just sit and relax.

First time renting a bike here and it was perfect! Joe was very accommodating and helpful. I will be back… Unless I buy a beach cruiser of my own ;)
Thank you Joe!

First time renting bikes here and I highly recommend it.
1) Free parking at Dock 52
2) Joe’a customer service is exceptional and he Genuinely cared for our safety, that I gave him the nick name «uncle joe.»
3) Free ice cream after 3 hours of renting
4) rental comes With a basket and lock.
5) Great ride from Marina Del Rey to Abott Kinney to Santa Monica Pier to Venice to Canals to Marina Del Rey.
6) cash or card
7) My group of friends rented 8 bikes with no issues.

I’ve lived in LA for more than 10 years now and have always rented bikes from Santa Monica to bike down to Venice. I’m so glad I found Daniel’s bike rentals because it’s less crowded, you get more mileage riding from the Marina and if you rent for more than 3 hours you get free ice cream! I would def recommend this place and will definitely be back.
Friendly tip: from Marina Del Rey to the Santa Monica pier and back is give or take 17 miles. Namaste!

These guys were awesome — I thought my bike had a flat tire because a tube needed to be replaced, so I took it to Daniel’s for repair since I was meeting there for a group bike ride. Not only did they clean up/​grease my bike, but they told me that I actually didn’t have a leak in my tube, so they just filled up my tires and sent me on my way.
It’s so nice to see that they didn’t just do unnecessary work, even though it would have made them money.
After the group ride, everyone who did a full day rental got a free scoop of ice cream, too!

I love this little spot! Been here plenty of times, and recently, last weekend. Wanted to rent a bike to bike down to Manhattan Beach… The guy (I don’t remember his name) is always so helpful, he gets my sarcastic humor, and is so easy to work with. Love the vibes here. Sounds silly, but when you give your business somewhere you feel happy when you give it to genuinely good people (thank you Unilocal for weeding out the bad).
Ride on!
