A humble little shop, run by Karl.
Humble Bike Rentals is exactly what it sounds like: a friendly, hands-on shop on the boardwalk across from Muscle Beach. Karl keeps every bike tuned and ready, knows the best routes along the coast, and takes the time to help each rider find the right fit.
No corporate counter. No upsells. Just quality gear, fair prices, and a free bottle of water and lock with every rental. You get simple service from a local who wants your beach day to feel easy from the start.

At this spot it was really easy to rent a bike and all of them were so friendly. Got a locker for free and they were not that strict with the rental time. Come definitly back if we need a bike in Santa Monica! Greatings from Germany 😊

We rented 3 bikes for about an hour and a half and rode down to Venice beach and back. The owner was extremely nice and friendly. The price was great. We appreciated the cold water bottles afterwards!

Carl was so fabulous. He looked after us really well. The bikes were so cute and in great condition and he offers such great prices compared to the other places. Only $10 an hour! We had a great time and plan to go back soon.
