I will be in SFO for two day this week. Looking for a few bike shops I should see while I’m there. Thanks.

You can look up Mike's Bikes, Chain Reaction, Valencia Cyclery, Freewheel bike shop, etc.
Although I've only been to Mikes and Chain Reaction... They have a pretty good seletcion of stuff.
Oh, and Performance Bikes (a la performancebikes.com) in SF.
And Summit Bike shop is near the airport on California Drive in Burlingame. And if you head more South on Calif Drive you'll run into Stacks Restaurant for some really good pancakes, french toast and good food in general. :)
I'm sure more people will post up their favorite shops.

Pacific Bikes on 4th St. has a nice selection of mid- and high-end road and tri stuff, and a good staff.

Pacific Bike has some mountain and comfort as well... ditto on the staff.
From there, SF Performance is a short walk; IMO it is the best Perf shop in the area. REI is not much further down Brannan.
There are some highfalutin' shops around, but I don't remember any names right now... it's magic! I'm invisible!
