Coates Cyclery takes one last ride


E
verything changes, nothing is im-
mune, but some places seem like
they have always been there and al-
ways will. Coates Cyclery in Pomona is one
of those institutions, and that makes it even
more jarring that in a few weeks the 82-
year-old bike shop will be gone.
Just outside Claremonts city limit, Coates has been
our local bike shop, where generations have purchased
their first beach cruiser or discovered the love of more
serious cycling. Coates owner Corey McCroskey an-
nounced the closing last Monday with a simple sign in
the window, a quick note to people on the shops email
list and a post on Facebook.
The last day of business is up in the air, but will be to-
ward the end of February, as Mr McCroskey slowly
winds down operations.
The news hit the local cycling community hard.
Coates has long been a gathering place for people who
love bikes and riding. Whether you enjoy BMX, rac-
ing road bikes, technical trail riding on a mountain bike
or just tooling around the neighborhood, Coates was the
place where you could find just the right bicycle.
Mr. McCroskey sponsored numerous local charity
events including the Plain Wrap Ride, which raises
money for injured cyclists as well as to buy bicycles for COURIERphotos/Steven Felschundneff

I have motivated and qualified buyers looking Geoff exceeded our very high expectations in the recent sale of our Claremont Village property. We appreciated the professionalism, cour-
for a Claremont home. Please contact me today tesy and speed with which he shepherded the process from start to finish, keeping us fully informed throughout. It is a pleasure to see a mas-

your property. Thank you! All along the way, from the search, to offer, to escrow, to closing, the process was smooth and painless. We were informed all along the
way of what to expect and when. I cannot recommend Geoff Hamill highly enough. He is a professional who has years of knowledge he

B.R.E. #00997900 Upland property with Geoff due to our satisfaction with the service provided. S. Campbell & O. Campbell
Geoff was fantastic and professional with my recent real estate purchase. To be honest, I was a little reluctant to call him because I thought he
only serviced higher value homes, but he treated it like it was a million dollar deal and was on top of every step in the process. He probably did-
n't know it at the time, but I was preoccupied with my father being in and out of the hospital and I didn't have much time to be involved in the
transaction. Geoff took care of the whole thing and was a constant professional! T. Freeman & M. Freeman
