Bike Shops in SF and LA
I'll be visiting Los Angeles and San Francisco in a few days and I'd like to visit some bike shops, so if you guys can recommend me some good shops, preferably some that stock Single Speed stuff it'd be awesome. I'll have more free time to check shops out while in SF so that's a preferable place. Thanks in advance.

Orange 20 and LAbrakeless in addition. Then you can visit the co-ops in the evening when we open shop, more fun anyway.

Thanks for the recommendations. I did not get a chance to visit the LA shops, I arrived in SF last night and got to walk around a bit today, visited Box Dog Bikes and Mission Workshop. Loving it so far, so many people riding bikes everywhere it's nothing like where I live.

If you're willing to go to towards the east bay area, Area Cycles in Castro Valley is the best shop for me, and it's the only shop I go to and I live 20 minutes away. The owner is hella laid back and they have a good assortment of parts for a small shop.

The trip is over I'm at LAX waiting for my flight. Loved California and I envy everyone that lives here. I'll definitely have to come back to do some bike riding.
