As it turns out, all of the harbor seals, and sealions have names. We befriended one named Steve, he is much better at swimming than I am. He also taught me secret techniques to paddling. This one Pelican named Parry got into a barking match with some sealions, which is a fight he wasn't gonna win, let's be honest. Though I was hoping to see an M-A-N-A-T-E-E ... next time! If you're gonna go down on Haley street, where the dogs are easy and the sun is cheap, you never know just who you'll meet, on Haley. (But hopefully it's Rachel from the Santa Barbara Adventure Company, and you get her kayak tour; shout out!)

A heartfelt thank you to Santa Barbara Adventure Company for creating such a memorable birthday…read moreexperience for our daughter. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. We had a fun ferry ride to the islands and even got to slow down to watch a large Sunfish (Mola Mola) snacking on some jellies. I recommend getting in line early to secure the best view seating on the ferry. Our kayak guides, Chuck and Adam, were exceptional--knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made the entire trip both fun and informative, while ensuring we always felt safe and well cared for. We were fortunate to have perfect weather and warm water, which allowed us to explore all seven sea caves--many of which are inaccessible during high tide or rougher conditions. It made the experience even more special. Having lived in Santa Barbara for 22 years, this was my first time visiting the islands, and it was truly unforgettable. The pristine landscapes, abundant sea life, and even spotting several tiny island foxes while enjoying our picnic lunch, made it an unforgettable adventure. We can't wait to do it again--highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and exceptional experience!

Verse 2 He don't just fix a bike -- he reads the road you've ridden, Finds the story in the spokes, the truth you've half‑forgiven. Subway's baking bread, Pizzaville's throwing heat, But George is the warmth that keeps the whole block sweet. Pre‑Chorus Dogs getting groomed, laughter hiding in the club, Verde Market's singing while the kitchens simmer love. Southside Philippines, northside Vietnamese air, And George stands in the middle like he's holding all the care. Chorus Big feller, big heart, big hands steady and true, George tunes a bike like he's tuning up you. Cha‑cha man of the crossroads, keeper of the ride, Every wheel rolls straighter when George is by your side. Verse 3 Your new basket gleams like a sunrise grin, Old basket bows out -- says, "Let the next tale begin." Jessie at the park nods, "Yeah, that's Pops‑grade lore," And George wipes his hands like he's heard it all before. Bridge Some folks fix metal, some folks fix time, Some folks fix silence with a laugh or a rhyme. But George -- he fixes motion, he fixes the day, He sends you rolling out lighter than you came in the bay. Final Chorus Big feller, big soul, big laugh shaking the street, George is the rhythm where the cha‑cha meets the beat. Oak Street's guardian, Wookie of the bend, He don't just fix your bike -- he makes the road your friend. Outro So ride on, Pops, through the Bakersfield blend, With a George‑tuned wheel and a story that won't end.

Dave answered all questions and invited us down to the shop for a free demo, which we did. We were welcomed by Dave, who went over the bikes and how the worked. We rode around the parking lot a bit. We are old, and it's been a long, long time since we've been on bikes. We did not rent them as my wife felt she needed to up her basic bike skills first. Back to today. We arrived at our our scheduled rental time and were again greeted by Dave. Super friendly, super patient, super easy to work with. He reviewed the bike operation again, set us up with helmets and locks. Explained where to ride and what to do. I thought the rentals were reasonably priced, the bikes are in great shape we had a ball. A long-winded way of saying this place and the staff are great, and it's a very fun outing. If/when we're in the market for an e-bike I'd seriously consider purchasing here just based on service received. Until then, we plan on some more rental rides!
