Some of the guys on the cycling/tri team work at the UCSD Bike Shop but they usually have quite a long wait list in terms of service. Only reason I get stuff there is because I get a 30% discount for being on the team. That being said, they have decent bikes for decent prices even if you don’t get a discount.

Best shop in the area imo is B&L Bike and Sports in Solana Beach. UC Cyclery isn’t the best but the wrenches there are good people who know their stuff. I think they carry Specialized stuff and they make a pretty good hybrid (Sirius, I think).

Finding a decent bike on Craigslist takes a lot of patience and is kinda shady sometimes, so make sure you bring a friend a long when you buy. Especially true if the price is decently high.
