Alan Goldsmith was a young practicing attorney. Suzy Goldsmith, who grew up in Torrance, managed the business. Named Bikecology, it expanded to five West LA area shops and a thriving mail order catalog by 1980. But messy conditions resulting from rapid and haphazard growth needed a reset to prepare for the future.
They completely re-engineered the business in 1980, selling four shops and the Bikecology name, and leaving only Santa Monica and the mail order catalog. The business was rebranded Supergo Bike Shops. The new concept was regional super-sized pro shops averaging 15,000 sq ft located in different markets: Santa Monica, Fountain Valley, Brea, Laguna Hills (biggest shop in West US), Oceanside, and Phoenix. Supergo became the USA’s #1 volume retailer for many of the best bike brands at various times.” Source: South Bay Cycle
