Super friendly shop owner. I stopped by on my trip in Italy because I saw his jersey designs in other review photos (he has two). As soon as I walked in he came over and showed me the rack of pre-owned jerseys as well as the two designs that are for his shop. He told me they were designed by a friend of his and they are manufactured by Biciclista in Italy.

Definitely stop by!! It’s a small shop mostly with the bike workshop area but super friendly guy.

Very helpful and friendly shopowner who inflated our tires along our bike trip. He also ordered a shoe plate which came in the very next day. Great service!

Located just a few meters from Piazza Navona, this bike shop is so handy for anyone who needs repairs in the city centre or even if you’re wanting a new bike! I want to thank the owner who was so kind to me when I got a flat tyre and he repaired it in minutes. Highly recommend!

I never leave reviews, but had to for this place. The man who works here is such a good guy. I wanted to ride a bike all the way down to Sicily, and he set me up with a rack and some storage bags for an extremely good price. Went out of his way to check out my bike as well to make sure everything was in good shape, as I had just bought it from someone used. I went to another shop in Rome, who gave me a price literally 4x the amount for the same exact thing. He is not out for your money, he truly is an honest man.

The manager of Senza Freni C, was of great assistance to me yesterday as I sought his help after arriving with my bike from Australia. With his gentle English (thanks) he provided exact tyre pressure, clothing and a bottle. All readying me for my journey across Europe, with a polite, skilled approach, and reasonable prices. A 5 star Roman cycle shop experience.🙏🙏

Giulio's bike shop has been one of the best places I have been to in Rome. I was in need of a bike for study abroad and I went there with the intent on buying a bike. He helped me pick out one with a reasonable price, he was extremely kind and nice, and spoke English which was very helpful. If you are ever in need of any bike services, I fully believe Giulio has the best bike shop in town!!!

Without Brakes is undoubtedly the best bike shop in Rome. Giulio, the owner, is kind, understanding, patient, hardworking, and always gets the job done. After buying my bike from him, which I love, the few times I've had to bring it in for repairs have been quick and easy. He is very flexible and won't hesitate to get your bike looking clean and new. If you're not looking to buy a bike, you can also choose from a wide selection of colorful euro-style biking caps, shirts, seats, handlebars, bottles, bike satchels, and countless other accessories and other items.

Make Without Brakes Ciclofficina your go-to bike shop.

100% recommended! Really helpful cycle shop. I messaged Guilo in advance that we were riding from London to Rome and would need a couple of cardboard bike boxes to pack our bikes in for the flight home when we got to Rome. Guilo looked after us and was really helpful. Great trip

Bought a great used bike at a good price, really enjoyed it! Service was excellent! I got help with a problem I had for next to no money and was always greeted with a smile. Really recommend this place!

Giulio is extremely helpful and kind, he helped me out super quickly with a flat tire. The location is wonderful too, I absolutely recommend for quick repairs but also if you wanna buy a bike (second hand).

Great little bike shop! As a Dutch guy who moved to Rome, of course I had to buy a bike immediately after arrival. There were a variety of very reasonably priced second-hand bicycles for sale. After choosing one, the owner checked all brakes and gears, replaced my saddle, and gave me lighting. All included in the already modest price.
After 2 months of use, one of the brakes was a bit loose. When dropping by, the owner fixed it immediately, again free of charge. In conclusion, a friendly place with both good products and service. Strongly recommended.

100% recommended! Guilo was very helpful! I messaged Guilo in advance that I needed some insights/help with my bike (being new to Rome) and he was great! He speaks great English and Italian, and will put aside as much time as you need!!
