There’s an important meeting coming up this Thursday, June 2nd, that could be a turning point for development in Los Angeles, bringing us to the verge of a world not dominated by cars. A fellow named David Alba will be presenting his GRID concept to the Sierra Club in Koreatown that evening. GRID is a […]
Have you signed up for the LACBC’s 11th Annual LA River Ride? No?! Whatsamatta you! They have rides for hardened roadies, sandbox playing kids, and everyone inbetween – all going down on Sunday, June 5, 2011. The River Ride is a great way to rediscover the joys of cycling in Los Angeles, the awesome weather […]

Los Angeles’ Critical Mass takes place on the last Friday of the month. What started as a small gathering of dreamers, activists, and lovers of everything bike has turned into a huge Friday night spectacle with its own police escort and hundreds, if not thousands, of riders of all skill levels and on all sorts […]
On my way back from the Santa Monica Museum of Art’s excellent Tour da Arts on Saturday, I stopped in the 90210 for a meeting with Better Bike Beverly Hills. Now, some of you might ask why we should care about what I myself have called the “sequined moth hole in the fabric of Los […]
In this episode of our epic adventure through bicycling, I walk around the shop talking about: BIKE BUCKETS! Only $15, super tough, and kinda ugly (but they work great!). I also wander around pointing the camera at our newly replenished Great Wall O’Brooks Saddles, our Brompton bikes, and our hot Linus and Public Bikes. On […]
Summer is just around the corner, and the Pashley Poppy is a perfect summer-time bike. The bike pictured above has Wald Delivery Basket attached and a Velo Orange front fork stabilizer to smooth out the ride. This bike was a special order for a customer, as we don’t normally keep Poppys on the floor. We’ve […]
We’re new to this Brompton thing, but already we like it. The bikes, oh my, the bikes are awesome! The schwag is cool too: this poster arrived in the mail a few days ago. Just in time for your vacation plans! The 2011 Brompton World Championship is taking place on Sunday, August 21, 2011 in […]

You can see Will from boxcycles showing off a Christiania’s maneuverability in the YouTube video above. Flying Pigeon LA sells these awesome […]
