Good Bike shops in San Francisco?
I just moved here, and I'd like to find a bike shop or two with helpful staff, good selection, reasonable prices, you know...
Anyway, I ride a fixie commuter to work, but I'm also interested in road and mountain-biking, so it'd be cool too find a place that's not too much of a track/fixie-only place.
I know there's a bunch of people in SF on here, so I figure you guys could give me some pointers to decent shops.
Thanks.
Also, the title's supposed to say "shops". I'd edit it, but we're not allowed to edit titles, for no apparent reason.
edited, just for you - [165]

boxdog is decent, I still make the trip across the city to freewheel though, travis is the king of customer service, and they have stands and tools you can use for a small co-op-ish fee. they also have a good selection. but yeah, either is a good choice, just don't get ***** by american cyclery...
