Another treat from Flying Pigeon last Saturday, as Gina and I rolled along on the monthly Brewery Ride, one of several that the Pigeon puts on for the sake of velocipedal conviviality. The last one (that we went on) was a short jaunt to the Eagle Rock Brewery–which, of course, is not quite in Eagle […]

Well before we could get to the second agenda item, two of the Angry Young Man contingent began double-teaming Claire Bowin of Planning and the DOT engineers over their bundling of road treatments that were required under CEQA to undergo […]
It is a scorcher today – hot weather, and hot bikes at the Flying Pigeon LA bike shop. In this 2 minute cruise around the shop I show off our new Linus Gaston 5 and Linus Mixte 8 bikes. I also turn the camera towards our new Bromtpon selection.
