Editorial Assessment

Although California Bicycle Inc is a popular local spot for bike rentals and outdoor activities in La Jolla, it is a commercial location rather than a natural landmark. Its value comes from proximity to natural coastal bike paths and scenic areas, but it does not feature unique geological formations or rare ecosystems itself, which limits its ranking on an iconic scale.

Rented bikes from them and the experience was tremendous from start to finish. Exceptionally friendly and professional in all regards. The bikes they matched us with were perfect for our ride. They were high quality and impeccably maintained, and the hourly rental prices were very reasonable. Great to see a small family business that has been around for 50 years keeping it going at such a high level.

called up to get information on the Bike was met with a completely rude sales person that says I’m not gonna help you unless she come in here. I was just asking if he had a bike in my size talked over me. I told him he was very unprofessional, and he seemed to think that that was funny.

While it may be a busy season, I do expect a response. I took my bike in to California Bicycle Inc in early May to get an adjustment that I thought would be quick. They told me they were busy and that I should come back "next week." I called ahead of time the following week. They were busy, they said, and I should make an appointment online for "next week." I tried to schedule an appointment online for the following week, which is an email according to their website. No one answered the email. I sent a follow-up email the following week. No response. They clearly don't need any customers.
