As a result of their teamwork, they won the relay division of the triathlon with a time of 1 hour 2 minutes, They beat the second place finishing relay team by over six minutes. Congratulations to the Seal Beach guys!

Cross country folks & riding more...


Yesterday we had Calvin & Patty Shank come on in the store. They were riding from the Oregon Coast to St. Augustine, Florida. To give you an idea, it is 1204 steps in the direction and it is 2,580 miles. An impressive feat to say the least.

Everyone here at the shop lives car free - we ride everywhere. We hope you will consider riding more just in your daily life. Try to get your errands done on a bike! Add a basket or panniers to make your bike more functional. Riding is healthy and enjoyable. Here in So Cal, there is little enough reason to not cycle for short distances - say under 3 miles. Plus you never have to worry about parking!
