Your Local Bike Shop & Third Space

Esquina Bicycle Shop has been locally owned and operated in Boyle Heights since July 7, 2020. We opened our doors during one of the most challenging times in recent history with a vision for a more inclusive and welcoming bike shop. Every day brings new challenges and victories, and we are grateful for the community that has supported us from the start.

The Beginning: Built on Resilience

Esquina Bicycle Shop was born out of resilience. When the world changed in 2020, we found ourselves facing uncertainty and financial hardship. Instead of backing down, we saw an opportunity to create something meaningful. At one point, Esquina was also going to be a thrift store, but we shifted our focus fully to bikes, building a space that has become much more than just a shop—it is a hub for creativity, culture, and connection.

Growing into More Than a Bike Shop

By our second year, we realized we could be more than just a bicycle shop. With the space we had available, we decided to become a third space—a community hub where people could gather beyond work and home. Esquina evolved into a place where people could not only fix their bikes but also find a sense of belonging.

A Home for Community and Culture

Since embracing our role as a third space, Esquina has hosted a variety of events that reflect the creativity and passion of our neighborhood. Beneath the Wheels, our underground event space, has welcomed artists, musicians, and organizers from all walks of life. Over the years, we’ve held underground music shows, open mics, film screenings, art exhibits, workshops, and more, all with the goal of strengthening the community and providing a platform for self-expression.

Supporting Our Community Through Crisis

More than just a shop, Esquina has been a place of mutual aid and community support. When the devastating fires struck in early 2025, we immediately mobilized as a donation and distribution hub, ensuring that essential supplies reached those most affected. We collected food, water, clothing, and other necessities and coordinated efforts with local volunteers to distribute them to impacted families. Despite our own financial struggles, we prioritized helping those in need, demonstrating that Esquina is not just a business—it’s a lifeline in times of crisis. The overwhelming support from our community reinforced our mission of solidarity and mutual aid.

More Than a Bike Shop

Esquina is a welcoming space where riders, artists, musicians, and neighbors find a home. We take pride in fostering creativity, collaboration, and grassroots activism. Whether you need expert repairs, a custom build, a tune-up, or just a space to connect, Esquina is here for you.

Esquina Bicycle Shop exists because of the incredible people who continue to believe in and support what we do. We are proud to serve Boyle Heights and beyond, keeping the cycling spirit alive and thriving. Thank you for being part of our journey—this is just the beginning!
