The Sunny Cycles Story
Welcome to Sunny Cycles, where a passion for cycling meets a commitment to community. I'm Anna Martin, the proud owner and operator of Sunny Cycles. What started as a bold endeavor in 2007, has blossomed into a dynamic journey that continues to evolve.
Humble Beginnings
At 26, I embarked on the cycling adventure of a lifetime, opening the doors of Los Angeles Brakeless Bicycles, affectionately known as LA Brakeless or The LAB. Back then, the vision was clear: a boutique bike shop that catered to those who appreciated aesthetics and the thrill of cycling.
From our humble beginnings in a compact 250 sq ft space, we quickly gained momentum, becoming a staple in the cycling community. LA Brakeless offered custom track builds, in a style that resonated with enthusiasts seeking one-of-a-kind rides. Our youthful, hip, and street culture vibe attracted an international following, solidifying our presence in both cycling and art cultures.
As times changed, so did our focus. By 2014, I had become a mother, and the dynamics of my life and relationship with cycling shifted. The journey from a 26-year-old without kids to a mother transformed my perspective, shaping the store's direction and offerings.
An Evolution From LA Brakeless to Sunny Cycles
Facing the challenges of the pandemic in 2020, I realized the power of community and support. The outpouring of generosity from our patrons allowed us to weather the storm and relaunch as Sunny Cycles. With this rebrand, we celebrate inclusivity, proudly showcasing ourselves as a woman-owned and operated shop that's LGBTQ-friendly.
The rebrand also represents a reflection of our commitment to authenticity. We prioritize transparent, trustworthy service and fair pricing. Our dedication extends to supporting emerging and independent brands that share our values.
As we embark on this new chapter, I believe there's never been a better time to be a woman in the cycling industry. I'm excited to connect with fellow enthusiasts, newcomers, and anyone seeking a warm and inclusive environment to explore their cycling journey. Let's ride together and make every pedal stroke count.
Thank you for being a part of our story.
Warmly,
Anna Martin
(Owner, Sunny Cycles)
