The action is comparatively tight compared to Commerce (very tough to beat the Asian degenerates' love for "gamble"), but you have to table select very carefully if you want to make money at The Bike.
The $2/$3 game has a $100-$300 buy-in, and is probably one of the best small stakes cash games in LA. I play at The Bike because the buy-in allows you to sit w/ 100bbs so you can actually play poker, compared to Commerce where the cap buy-in on the $2/$3 game is $100.
I haven't had the chance to play the $3/$5 game just yet, but I've heard the game has a good structure with (I believe) $300-$500 buy-in. This game is definitely much tougher, as expected, than the $2/$3 game.
As a side note, all food is FREE at The Bike. Most players tip $2-$3 per plate, but the food is high quality compared to the other LA casinos. The staff is also relatively nice, and more eager to help out than the staff at other LA casinos, namely Commerce.
For those looking to play NLHE in LA, The Bike is the place to play. I do not have a player's card, but I've heard it is a must have if you play there a lot. Good luck to all LA poker players.
