Santa Monica-Easter-Bent Riders and Rides?

I will be visiting my brother for the Easter Weekend, from Thursday, April 17 to Monday, April 21st.
I would greatly appreciate any local 'bent riders who would be willing to let me try different
'bents and also local short rides. Helen's Cycles is the LBS for my brother's area in Santa Monica.
Thanks, Lyndon Salt Lake City

 

Helen's may still carry a couple of bents; if the C-dale is available and they may still carry
Burleys. Check out the "Bicycle Workshop" in Santa Monica or make the 35 mi trip to "People Movers"
in Orange to test ride different bents. It will be much more productive than trying to hook up with
people who may be different height, custom equiped, etc. Good luck, Bruce - Nobody rides a bent in

Thanks, Bruce. There was another bike shop called Tri-Zombies, which was focused on Triathletes, and
their bikes. It had a great ambience for a small shop. I will also have to stop by SuperGo, which is
a fun madhouse to see that many bikers, and that much gear available. I remember trying to score a
VooDoo Tour DF there, when VooDoo folded. And I remember when I was in town and their promise of
having Mario Cippolini stop by and visit didn't happen. Typical. Lyndon Salt Lake City

 

Every third sunday morning at IIRC Lane park in the center of Marina Del Rey a group of bent riders
gather to shoot the breeze for an hour or so before riding the shoreside bike path.
