Hi! I am moving to LA in August.. I'm currently residing in the OC. I TOTALLY WANT TO GET INTO BIKING!!! But I KNOW NOTHING about it. It seems like SO much fun and with me moving to LA all by myself, I thought it would be a great way to meet new people. An old boyfriend is really into it, but I want to learn this without his help.. Can someone help me? I heard about Cubcamp? it sounds like sooo much FUN!

Hey why don't you come by the shop during open hours (see the front page www.bikerowave.org) and one of our volunteers can help you out.  We've got a lot of bikes.  Sure some of them may need some work but that just makes it more fun.  So come hang out at the shop.  I guarantee you'll meet at least a few cool people -- like yours truly -- who can point you in the right direction.

Not that we don't want you, but wouldn't it make sense to go to a place closer to you, so you don't have to bike (or drive) all the way across town? Bike Oven and Bike Kitchen are both way closer.

you could but you would have to get it at a grocery store b/c it looks like Gern and david (ab)used your party favors, not to mention that bikerowave is not open on Fridays.
