I saw some Shinola bikes in their S.F. Store last year... nice city-type bikes.
But, I would think someone wanting to ride on back roads in wine country, staying in an Andy Hampsten-type hotel, would be interested in something a little more... “sprightly”.

I'm guessing that management is counting on people either bringing their own or renting a nice road bike from a local business. No sense in being greedy... but if the Astro is looking for $5K rental bikes they have some good options.

Agreed. They could advertise special bike storage or some such, along with some links to high-end rentals, and that would suffice for me..

Hmmm, Spring road trip to the Astro? Got just the bike to try out down there....

I thought Santa Rosa was pretty much reduced to ashes, how does this affect the biznezz? How is the local riding now?

And I thought the drive up from here was too far. Just signed up for the ride. Dusting off my old Merckx for this one kids!

Not everything. West and south of Santa Rosa was largely untouched. The worst was north, east and southeast. Going north, I believe Healdsburg and into the Alexander Valley were not hit. There was a lot of destruction, but there are still a lot of pretty areas to ride.
