Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Boutique Shops in So Cal

Visiting the 'rents in Laguna Hills and was wondering if there are any must-see boutique type shops down here that have stuff my LBS wouldn't have. My bro lives in San Diego, so I'm willing to drive south, but prob wouldn't go as far north as LA. It's a somewhat emotional visit since my mom ran the Boston Marathon, and her PR these days is about a 4:10 (!) and she was on her way to a record, but got slowed down by a cramp on "heartbreak hill", got about 0.5 miles from the finish and wound up corralled somewhere else. My dad was thankfully late to the finish line too and was about a block away.

Thx!

I figured the 41 prob gets the most traffic, plus I'm only interested in roadie stuff.

The City of Orange has Adrenaline Bikes. If you like Lynskey, Moots, Litespeed, Bianchi, Torelli and Campagnolo then they might be worth a look.

Their wheel builder is a member here.
