Junking out new bike shop discoveries is a grand part of the urban cycling addiction.

When you’re powering the internal combustion you often can’t crack-out the hidden treasures and it’s just too much damn work to stop and find a parking space in the urban confine to see how anyone else is thriving; when you’re on a jack’d bent trajectory through the city who has time to stop.

Along Beverly Blvd, between Normandie and Vermont, on my way to LACMA* for Earth-Day Festivities, I noticed a little bike shop tucked away between a spread of other booming retail stores.   The proprietor’s name is Jorge and he loves to build wheels and crank the wrench.  Jorge isn’t a bike racer or a city rider; he’s injecting value to the neighborhood.
