Another local bike shop, B&L Bike & Sports in Solana Beach, closes the doors
It was a sad week for the North County Coastal Cycling Community as staple shop B&L Bike and Sport (BLBikes.com) closed It's doors. B&L Bike and Sport in it's previous location and ownership in the early/mid 2000's was an inspiration to us as we visited the So Cal area on our bicycle adventures! The owner of RIDE Cyclery even moved out to pursue a racing career living in the Solana Beach / Del Mar area and raced for one of its race teams.
As a small business owner it is always a hard thing to watch another small business owner close up shop. Especially when that business is one of your competitors.
All of this said, we know there is now a large group of cyclist without a home shop any longer and nobody to service their bicycles. We also know that with B&L Bike and Sport being the Premier Specialized Dealer prior to RIDE Cyclery's arrival years ago there is an entire family of Specialized owners that might need servicing or warranty work for their RIDEs.
RIDE Cyclery is here to support you! We encourage you to come visit us, check out our retail store, chat it up with our service center Technicians and give RIDE Cyclery a shot an becoming your new home shop!
