Well, it looks as though the City of Los Angeles is taking–well, not quite a bold, but a worthy–step forward in providing bike parking to go along with all those new bike lanes it keeps promising to build. (This is something I’ve harped on before on this blog.) In fact, though the draft was spearheaded […]
Golly, that’s a lot of leather! Brooks saddles arrived at Flying Pigeon LA. We just got a nice batch of Brooks B17’s and Flyers in the mail. Yay!
The Wolfpack Hustle LA Marathon Crash Race is a free bicycle race that follows the closed 26.1 mile LA Marathon course hours before the runners. It is unlike other amateur city bicycle races because there is almost no traffic. This race does not determine who can best find their way through a city, but rather, […]
We bought these fancy Origin8 Pro Force Ultralight V-Brake levers for a customer that flaked on us. These retail for $100. Work with mechanical disc or v-brakes. Machined aluminium. We’re selling them for $60. We’ve got a nice stack of 700c/27″ and 26″ fenders from SKS. These aren’t on sale, but they are very nice […]
“Oh shnap, that is a nice rack!” This rack is so hot, it is making me sexist. 1″ bar clamp diameter (25.4mm), which you can shim out to 26.0mm or 31.8mm to fit the threadless stem you’re rocking on your bike. It is made out of heat treated 6061 aluminum alloy tubing and can hold […]

Our bikes come complete with front and rear lights powered by a dynamo, 7-speed coaster brake hub, double disc brakes up front, a bench with lap belt and 3-point harness, a carriage cover, and a whole lot of style. We […]

We’re putting his Flying Pigeon Racer together now. 48 tooth cranks, 13 tooth coaster cog, Sturmey-Archer AWC 3-speed hub, Soma […]
Featured in this video: some of our cool baby carrying bikes (perfect for the CicLAvia coming up on April 10, 2011), and a quick look around the shop. Ack! The shop is a mess! All that revolution in Africa and the Middle East and commodity speculation on Wall Street have deposited loads and loads of […]
For a long time, LA’s Chinatown has been a “Lost Province” to cyclists–an attractive and centrally-located destination with absolutely no–none, zero, zip–bike racks, or any other form of bike parking except meters (illegal to use for the purpose) and the odd pipe or iron fence. I am glad to say that that has finally changed! […]
