Rapha Cycle Club — San Francisco

While in SF for work I didn’t have enough time to see this wonderful city and it’s surrounding countryside by bike so I did the next best thing and had an early morning walk over to the Rapha Cycle Club for coffee and to watch la Vuelta.

The shop looks really amazing, clean and simple, and has a surprisingly nice, calm vibe to it for being such a great purveyor of coffee.

During a conversation with one of the shop guys, we started talking about the Angry Catfish and it made me really appreciate how great of a bicycle and coffee shop that place really is — not that it needs much reminding.
