THANK YOU PATAGONIA!

The totals are in. The Santa Monica Patagonia employees rode 367 miles during Bike to Work Week. Sean rode everyday from Highland Park!  A big thanks to Patagonia for making us part of their Bike to Work Week Challenge. --great people and a great clothing brand!

Patagonia will pay us $1 per mile + $250, which comes out to $617 for us, and that much more clean air for the rest of LA

BK / BiciCocina SQUARE dance!

Hi Folks,

Come on down to the Square Dance tonight!  Bear witness to how bicycles truly bring people together.
There is going to be some serious talent in the house playing old-time music, calling dances and sharing baked and brewed goods.  (Suggested donation $10.  Donate what you can ; we won't turn you away for lack of funds)

We even got our hands on a DVD of Tilda Swinton riding her bicycle along the Berlin Wall for an hour in 1988 (before it fell) and again in 2009.  We are going to project it at the square dance.  AWESOME!

Scroll down for Square Dance details.

Peace.

Only Three Days Remain....


A view from inside the new space.

Behind that window lies a space twice as large as where we are now. Outside there's a small parking lot enclosed by a wrought iron fence and an electric sign on a post. Pretty simple. For now.

It's where we're planning to move later this spring and it's headed for a transformation. Hopefully.

We'll receive it empty, stainless, and quiet. We want to fill it with people, bikes, parts, tools, noise, creativity, and community. We want to create the bicycle co-op of our dreams - and we will. Hopefully.

We're so close to reaching our goal of raising enough money for the down payment. We're full of gratitude and excitement. We know we can do this. 

Hopefully you you'll join us.
