Esteban / David: Recently we found a great sandwich shop on PCH near the North Beach Metrolink platform. There's also a cycling support / bike rental shop right at the platform. There's picnic tables outside, water, they sell stuff like energy drinks, tubes, gloves. Curious facility & worth a look.
