Hi guys,
I'm looking for a bike shop that sells Folding bikes around the Los Angeles area. I'm willing to drive 40 miles. I found one called Safety Cycles. I'm wondering if there are other bike shops you guys can recommend. Thx

Well, I think I can recommend some to you. I too live in the Greater Los Angeles area. Now it depends what brand you want. Dahons are sold new through bike shops usually near you & most other people. Bromptons (my other bike I own) has 2 dealers now in the Los Angeles area. Here are both shops (I have done business with both involving my own Brompton):

Electric Bikes LA
El Segundo, CA
https://www.electricbikesla.com/

Whenever I am on the West side (usually at the Beach with the Brompton), I stop by at this shop. I bought my Brompton at it's former sister store (now closed) in Oceanside. While they have Bromptons, they also carry other folding & electric brands. Check them out.

Pasadena Cyclery
Pasadena, CA

This is my East side bike shop for the Brompton. They just became a Brompton dealer only a couple of months ago. They carry a wide range of bikes too. But they are no longer selling Dahons though (too much trouble for them).

I can also vouch for the two stores FF mentioned. Both are awesome if you want Bromptons and electric bikes, but neither shop carries Dahons.

Thank you, I live fairly close to pasadena. I'll check them out.

Electric Cyclery in Laguna Beach sells Dahon, Montague and Bike Friday. See https://www.electriccyclery.com/catalog/.

I've seen Dahons in some of the REI stores

I've checked out REI but they have very limited selections to test drive.
