Palms Cycle and the Movie Biz


Less than two blocks away from the front door of Palms Cycle is the core of Culver City, Sony Studios. Originally the home of MGM, the studios are a major employer for the surrounding cities of Venice, Mar Vista, Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and so on. Not surprisingly, then, that Palms Cycle gets a lot of their biz from THE BIZ. Current bicycles have starred in movies, music videos, TV pilots, and advertisements. This three-wheeler was used on American Idol.

The shop reaches out across the entire USA in search of vintage bicycles in order to have a ready inventory of all types of bikes that can be used for props. Here are a few examples



If the bicycle that will make the perfect prop is not in stock, Cap will go in search for it. If there are none like that available anywhere, it might be possible to make one.
