Bike Shop Partner

Passionate independent bike shop West River Cycles, of Long Beach California, combine youthful energy with comprehensive knowledge and a wealth of experience. Kristen and Julius may have only recently relocated from Philadeplhia, but they are already becoming a focal point of the Southern California biking scene. From changing a tube to setting you up to cross the country - West River Cycles is the place to go, or if you're not in the area you'll find them very approachable via social media. That's how I found them!
