What is the name of the best, biggest, folding bicycle shop, store, in the San Francisco area?
Need to visit a store with a large selection of folders on the premises. I would like to try them for fit and ride.
Thanks for the help.

Folding bikes are kinda a nitch market here in the USA do not think you will find all brands at one shop. I live in the east bay and can think of two places that combined are dealers for a lot of brands. They can both be reached by using Caltrain. Note that Warm Panet bikes is only open on weekdays and C.W. Wasson is a one man operation so recomend making a apointment.

Hope this info is useful, good luck on finding the folder you like. I ride Amtrak and Bart every day. A folder is the only way to go.
