Bike Store in Claremont, Calif?

My son will be attending college in Claremont, Calif. Can anyone
recommend a bike shop in that town? He's looking to buy a bike, rather
than ride his bike out there from Chicago.

Thanks.

Back many years ago, Bud's Bike Shop in Claremont was owned (in part?) by
Santana founder Bill McCready, and was one of the most experienced tandem
shops to be found anywhere. No idea if he's still involved in the shop,
or the shop's current status.

Still there.

Man, kids are lazy these days.

I don't know anything about shops in Claremont, but shipping a bike
anywhere in the US is not at all difficult. But maybe he just wants a
new bike.

I wouldn't say lazy, Chicago to California is a long ride for anyone.

First of all, congratulations on going to Claremont. Which campus? He'll need
two bikes, one as a beater bike and the other is for serious road riding in
that area of So. Calif. Lots of hills and miles of roads. If he's going to be
a "Mudder" he will have to get a uni-cycle.
