I am planning a trip to Santa Monica and was doing some research on the local bike paths. Who better to contact than a local bike shop, NOT!!! When calling this bike shop I talked with Dave, who answered the phone, and had no knowledge of the 22 mile bike path that runs north and south up and down the coast? My question was simple. Is it a designated bike only path? Or does it have vehicle traffic? He was rude and said he did not know of the bike path I was asking of. He was very short, and sounded annoyed by my question.
I called REI up the street from them. They were very helpful and I will be shopping there for my biking accessories not at Performance Bicycle.
