Topanga Creek Outpost

Bike Rentals

Topanga Canyon is part of the Santa Monica Mountains nestled between Pacific Palisades, Malibu and the Valley (Woodland Hills to be exact). Truly a hidden gem in Los Angeles, for decades Topanga has retained its retreat-like settings and rustic charms. Topanga is also one of L.A.'s more unique communities that have attracted independent and creative people throughout its history. It's been home to legendary musicians like Woodie Guthrie, Neil Young, and Alice Cooper. In fact, our shop location was once the rehearsal studio for Jim Morrison of The Doors.

When you drive through Topanga Canyon you will immediately be awed by the lush and forest-like surrounding. It seems so remote but yet our shop is only 12 miles from the Santa Monica Pier. We have chosen this location for our shop not only for its natural serenity but also for many of the prime mountain bike trails found in all of Southern California. Every day we are amazed at the beauty of this place and feel very lucky to continue doing what we love to do — riding bikes and helping people in the community to enjoy riding as well. Read more

    This is a beautiful shop that feels like home. They offered us fresh coffee and homemade coffee cake immediately upon entering, which were both delicious. Their leather items are extremely well made (belts, camera straps, mug holders, etc.), and their staff is friendly and knowledgeable about bikes, leather works, and biking (they have a regular mountain bike ride on Saturday mornings "fueled by" fresh banana bread!). Their t-shirts are stylish and/or funny, too!

    Bike enthusiasts at heart. Welcoming to renters and first time mountain bikers. Laid back and easy to work with. They definitely know the area well for trails which is important for mountain biking around those topanga mountains.

    This shop is the pinnacle of cool. The people are great, but by virtue of your interest in bikes, you are welcomed into the club with open arms. The shop is great, and feels like you have walked past the rope cordon at a museum into the exhibit but with bike gear mixed in with antique horseshoes. The bikes are great, with everything up to full suspension to satisfy any customer. ...

    Great spot to hang out and talk bikes. They have a unique selection of gear plus stuff ONLY FOUND in Topanga. Chris is an amiable and passionate human, and hires quality staff. I hope this bike shops is around for years to come.
