Ride a bike, share your experience and love. When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else's heart. ~Diane Ackerman

Cooking Up Bike Co-Ops

When driving to work, a 40 to 45 minute drive, my mind drifts to what other things I could to to occupy my days. One such dream of mine is to open a Bicycle Kitchen in Pomona. My passion is bicycles. There is something very therapeutic about riding and wrenching on my bikes. I think it would be great for this community on many levels.

The idea of a Bicycle Kitchen in Pomona plays out in my head often. Where would I put it, when would be open, who would co-run it and who would benefit from it. Planing, managing, community advocacy, workshops, wrenching, coffee, teaching, learning all the scenarios play over and over in my head and the questions get answered and re-answered everyday. I guess whats left it to just do it... Re-Cycled in Pomona!
