Get Sum Dim Sum Ride on Sunday, December 19, 2010

This month’s Get Sum Dim Sum Ride we will return to Luscious Dumplings in San Gabriel for some delicious dumplings and noodle soup. We last took our group to my son’s favorite dumpling restaurant (he is a true connoisseur) almost 18 months ago. He and I stopped by again this week and I realized that we need to find a way to bring our group back to some super yummy neighborhood restaurants run by fellow cyclists!

Pashley Roadster Sovereign 26 has arrived!

Our shop’s first Roadster 26 from Pashley has arrived in the shop today. The finish of the bike is, of course, of the highest order. The ride is elegant and smooth. The draw with the Roadster 26 over its 28-inch brothers (the regular Roadster) is its relatively smaller size.

This is one of the strangest headlines I’ve ever written, but it is true. The image above was shot by LA-based photographer Mikey Wally a few weeks ago and entered into a contest on the site Prolly Is Not Probably. Mikey won the contest with this image, and so he gets a pair of shoes. […]
