History of Bike Attack®:
Bike Attack® served the US soldiers, their families, US embassy members and the allied forces with outstanding service and received several awards from the US embassy. When the US Army left Germany in 1995, Bike Attack was converted into a bicycle retail store for the German public and quickly became famous as the exclusive distributor for Merlin and Bontrager.
In 2005 Bike Attack moved their location to Santa Monica and established quickly a good relationship with the community. Bike Attack became a Germany distributor for Foes Racing, Hanebrink and Astrix and focused mainly on extreme downhill racing.
The location on Main Street in Santa Monica immediately received a great response from the neighborhood due to its friendly customer service, great selection of brands and professional, dependable service and the most innovative gear in the industry. Soon the location was moved to 2904 Main Street in Santa Monica to focus on the new innovative trend: electric bicycles. It was the first Electric Bike Shop in Los Angeles.
In summer of 2016 Bike Attack® opened their newest location, a modern state-of-the-art Bianchi flagship store located in the new hip outdoor mall RUNWAY PLAYA VISTA right in the middle of Silicon Beach, CA.
