Where do I register my bike?

Many times, we get asked where do I go to register my bike in Seal Beach. The answer is at the foot of the Seal Beach Pier: the Community Police Station. You can reach those volunteers at (562)431-1518. Give them a call or stop by when the Station is open to get your bike registered.

We believe in Long Beach, you can register your bike at most fire stations. This involves a minor fee as well - about $3.

Leisure World residents may also register their bikes within their security department.

Registering your bike is good in case of theft or manufacturer's recall. One of the benefits of shopping at a local shop is that we keep your serial number as well for 5 years. So take a moment and go register!

Bike issues 102

So what else do I need to know about a bike? One of the biggest is the actual use of the bike. How are you planning on utilizing your bike? For us in the shop, cycling is more than a sport or a recreation, it is a way of life. Everyone in the shop owns at least one bike and we are each most comfortable in our own styles of bikes. Take our "friend of the shop" Scott G. He is an avid outdoor rider who enjoys hard mountain biking and fixed gear. Kyle is a BMX rider who rides fixed gear for distance. Julio is a classic road bike enthusiast and so rides an amazing LeMond with a Brooks saddle. Dave rides whatever, but has a passion for triathlon bikes (since he owns the shop!) Seth likes a hybrid for with a basket for living car free and Cameron rotates through classic Schwinns and more unusual cruisers.

The nice thing about our shop is we have a specialist for any type of bike. So be sure to stop by and if you can check out our coupon at Seal Beach Daily! www.sealbeachdaily.com

Congratulations!
