The iPad Isn’t The Only Buzzworthy Pad This Week
Posted in Deals, tagged Exercise, Gough, Sports, The Pad Studios, Union, Yoga on January 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
FreshGuide‘s latest deal (ending soon!) is $30 for $85 worth of yoga at The Pad Studios (1690 Union at Gough). If you haven’t been, I highly recommend it. I had a six month membership at The Pad this past year and loved every minute of it. It’s a really clean and hip-looking studio with great instructors and sweet owners. The power yoga classes are small, with fun music! And actually, the studio offers a 10 sessions for $10 deal for new customers, which you should try first before exercising this deal. I could go on, but I’ll just leave it at two thumbs up.
Zip to Lombardi for Discount Deals
Posted in Events, Stores, tagged Events, Lombardi Sports, Sports, Zipcar on November 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Tonight at Lombardi Sports (Polk and Jackson) from 5 to 8 p.m., Zipcar will be hosting an event to earn you sweet discounts on sporting gear of every sort. If you’re a Zipcar member who attends alone, Lombard will give you 15 percent off of everything in store. Bring one friend, 20 percent off. Two friends, 25 percent off. Red fish, blue fish. Three or more friends, 30 percent off.
Got friends who don’t Zip? If they sign up at the event, you’ll both earn $50 in driving credits. Not a Zip member and just want to ski? Find a friend who is. I love Zipcar and Lombardi Sports might just be the best sports store in the ‘hood, so I approve this message.
Tennis, Anyone?

If you’ve ever ventured to Polk Street on a weekend morning — you know, for coffee, breakfast, shopping, or a walk of shame — you may have encountered a sidewalk collection of tennis rackets between Broadway and Vallejo. Most Saturdays and Sundays, you’ll find the “yard sale” there along with a man peddling both current and vintage racket models until the early afternoons.
For skilled tennis players, I wouldn’t say this is the place to buy your grand slam gear (try ReMatch Sports). But for the rest of you, especially beginners who aren’t ready to invest, why not pick up a racket and head over to Alice Marble Tennis Court? If you just look good in whites, you’ll be pleased to find a few classic John McEnroe series rackets to complete the look, as well as more specials added weekly. “You can not be serious!“
Got questions? Call “the Tennis Racket Guy” at (415) 374-4822. Yes, he has a phone.
Mothers Against Drunk Skiing

Cool party alert! First of all, Fisherman’s Wharf/Ghirardelli Square is in a territory of its own. But since it’s so close by, I’m happy to turn you onto the big and small events happening there (see examples here and here). The latest: the 1st Annual Wax and Wine Festival. This Tuesday from 6 to 9 p.m., Tahoe’s Alpine Meadows and Homewood Mountain have teamed up with Russian Hill’s go-to location for winter gear Lombardi Sports for an evening of free ski and snowboard hot waxes and $5 glasses of wine, courtesy of Sonoma’s Wattle Creek Winery. Just so you know, a ski wax at Lombardi on any other day can run you anywhere between $10-$15, depending on whether you’re a reward card member.
If your skis aren’t wantin’ for a waxin’, or you don’t own any, there are still some perks for you. (more…)
Cruisin’ for a Bruisin’
Posted in Tid Bits, Websites, tagged Bikely, Biking, Sports, Websites on October 7, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The last time I rode my bike in the city I was cruising down a harmless, empty, flat street (I know, hard to find) when all of a sudden, squeaky breaks ensued and I literally flipped over the handle bars, landing with my foot practically caught between the wheel spokes. That day was last November. It was not something you could brush off and move on from. Though no one was around to see it, I still bear the embarrassment of that moment. My breaks have yet to be fixed.
But when I do get back in the saddle again (oh I will), I know where I’m going. (more…)

Not going out of business, just yet.
Linen Outlet Takeover
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Linen Outlet, Pacific, Polk, ReMatch Sports, Shopping, Sports on August 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Do you remember the Linen Outlet (i.e. the world longest-running going-out-of-business business)? Well, I’m a little slow to the take on this, but new biz has finally taken it’s place at 1567 Pacific Ave (at Polk). . . and it’s pretty cool. ReMatch Sports is a sports consignment store with a twist. As a seller, you can bring in your old tennis racket or figure skates and the shop will sell them it for you in-store or via its website or other online marketplaces, for the greater of $15 or 25% of the sale price. As a buyer, you can browse and shop a wide range of sports gear, from biking to kite-surfing, in-store or online. Better yet, you can try out skiing for a fraction of the price of buying or even renting new Salomons — I found a pair of skiis for as low as $40. Just don’t practice on Polk Street; we don’t have much snow there.
