A RUSTY SPOKES  HISTORY

In 1997, I opened my bike shop Rusty Spokes on Garnet Street, in Pacific Beach, California. Not only was I a fully functioning bike repair shop, but I also restored old vintage bikes.

After noticing the difference front suspensions made with mountain bikes, I thought why don’t beach cruisers have suspension?  With some research some help from an engineer and fabricator, SoftCruise® was born.

I started selling them and in my first year sold over 300 beach cruisers.

Rusty Spokes was opened for almost 20 years and within that time we had become a staple in PB. Sadly in 2016, a drunk driver hit and pinned me up against my shop.  While it was a long road to recovery, I made the tough decision to close my store.  From when SoftCruise® hit the market in 2010 we have sold over 6,OOO bikes until I had to close I shop.

After his recovery, Dave has travelled up and down the west coast from San Diego to Long Beach and now has his bikes selling and for rent in 23 stores.
