Valley Bikery (CLOSED)

Rather hip for its Valley location (sorry, Van Nuys), the Valley Bikery will help you repair your existing bike or build up a new one. The shop also puts on community rides, during which it welcomes new riders—and (rightly) requires helmets. You may have a tough time finding the place—or getting your bike inside—as it's inside an office building, but it's worth braving the awkward entrance.
