Velocult.

4 June 2009

Spent a couple days in the hometown of San Diego, aka the Whales Vagina, running around visiting family, and checking out how much the area I grew up has changed over the past few years. Seems like once I made the move north, a ton of amazing little bars, cafes, and restaurants sprouted up. One in particular I want to mention is the Blind Lady Ale House. Cozy atmosphere, great beers on tap, and some excellent pizza and desserts. The other place I made an effort to check out was Velocult. Always interested in looking at another bike shop, I hopped on Mom’s too small cruiser and rode down to South Park to check out the space.

I was amazed about the collection they have on stock, and to find out that they were almost all for sale as well was incredible. Specializing in steel, they only had maybe 2 frames that were aluminum, but regardless a lot of really nice bikes were placed throughout the shop. The shop itself was nicely laid out and open, a great thing for the San Diego warmth. I found a few cruisers they had built that I really wanted. I need to figure out a way to get one shipped up to SF for the next time I am back by the bay. If you are in the area, check out Velocult. They have a really nice little spot, and from what they mentioned, all the frames will also be available online shortly.
