Helen's Bikes - I was on the west coast last week and saw a Helen's Bike store. It was cool. Lots of good bikes. accessores and the people there were top notch. I checked out the store and noted that they have been in existence since 1936. Just wondering, but what have they done so they could have been around so long. The bikes and people there were cool, so was not wondering about that. Anyway, bougt a water bottle there.

They sponsor a race team too. I have 2 Helen's Cannondales with team paint.

They and cannonsale sponsored the UCLA cycling team when I was there. Good work and good stuff at surprisingly reasonable prices as I recall.

Who is Helen?

I think she was Andy's girlfriend. They never married though. ;)

Great shop, nice selection, good customer service (they left me alone when I wanted to look and answered questions when I wanted help. Also, you could tell the staff hammer but they weren't condescending), lots of locations.
