S F Shop focuses on folding bikes
From the Palo Alto Daily News 1/10/08:
"Warm Planet Bikes is S F's first free standing, attended bike facility. It provides free parking for 130 bikes at the CalTrain station and is a full service shop focusing on foldable bikes"
According to the web site for the shop they will offer Dahon, Birdy, and Reach folding bikes, plus Schwalbe tires.
Is there anyone on this forum from S F? It would be great to have someone check it out and report back. I live near, but it may be awhile before I can get up there.

Wow! Good for them! Sounds a little like Bike Station, but they seem to have more bike parking. Hope it works out well for them.

Now isn't that cool! Have to admit, I got the folding bike bug from a few recent business trips out to Silicon Valley. I'm hell bent on starting a trend here in the Hudson Valley.
