Wore out three sets of tires already!
It should be illegal for some to own that many bikes. Some of you have more square footage in your basement than I have in my whole house for Pete's sake!

Dennisons bike shop East Side LA
I found these pictures in a google search. Opened in 1941!! Oh wow if the walls can talk..... anyone in the Southern California area know if this place is still open?? I tried calling the shop but no one answered. There is tonage in there according to the last pic....and notice the vintage old school sign in the display cabinet...its glowing in there and the old light up light isnt even on....lol

I live for the CABE
I believe that shop was on Laurel Canyon or around there. I tried to get the Schwinn sign but no luck. Closed down
many many years ago if it's the same shop. It was right near the railroad tracks at Chandler.
Hope this helps >

Yes, you're right!! It would look much nicer if I could just find the time to restore the
room the way it should be. Like tear down the wood panel and do the lighting would
be a huge improvement. This is my guest house and is twice the size as the pic. I'm
restoring my house first which has been a ten year project up till now. Almost done
then I'll jump to this space and try to come up with something. One day!!!!

Bicycling Cooperatives Enhance Community
As bicycling gains popularity in these days of exorbitant gas prices, more and more communities are springing up around this ultra-efficient mode of transportation. Bicycle repair cooperatives, for example, are growing in urban centers, serving to create bicycling communities and educating people about fixing and modifying their bicycles. Cooperatives in Santa Cruz and San Francisco, California offer access to classes, tools and parts for low membership fees.
Bicycling culture is community-based, cooperative and altruistic; people often get very “into” bicycling once they start because they enjoy the community and identity that is available to bicyclers. This was especially true when oil was cheap and bicycling was a lifestyle choice that reflected environmental, sustainable values. The bicycling community is being nurtured by an array of different types of creative organizations that promote cooperating to get more people bicycling and saving money.
Many cities, like Santa Cruz’s Bike Church and San Francisco’s Bike Kitchen, are growing tool cooperatives. In this model, an organization trades membership fees or nominal up-front payment for access to accumulated used and new parts and the expertise of mechanics or equally expert fellow bikers. In Santa Cruz’s Bike Church, there are a few professional bike mechanics lending a hand, but most of the people who go there are avid bike enthusiasts who can answer questions just as ably. A homeless man taught me how to replace the innertube on my bicycle.
These organizations take advantage of the teach-a-man-to-fish idea to turn people into bike experts who can then help the co-ops grow by assisting more newbies. Bike-friendly cities and cities that house a university often have tool- cooperative organizations like The Bike Church, though they do tend to fly under the proverbial radar. It is best to inquire about them with a local bicycle shop.
On the east coast, Worcester Earn-a-Bike, from whom I purchased a beautiful vintage Cannondale, employs local urban youth, trains them to fix bikes (equipping them with a marketable skill), then pays them in bicycles they build themselves. This strategy helps kids gain expertise, while providing them with a wholesome after-school activity as well as a way to earn a means of transportation.
"Bicycling is human scale -- a living, breathing alternative to the city's domination by motor vehicles, said bicycling advocate Charles Komanoff. "There is magic in blending with traffic, feeling the wind in one's face, the sheer fact of traversing the city under one's own power."
