Shadow forwarded this LA Times article profile of the two brothers who own Flying Pigeon LA:
In an age when serious cyclists spend thousands on ultra-light carbon-fiber bikes that sport caliper brakes and as many as 27 derailleur-run gears, the Flying Pigeon has one gear and old-fashioned rod-operated brakes.
It's the imported Chinese utility bicycle, runs about 50 lbs. The Flying Pigeon LA shop is branching out into other cruisers now, but I find the emphasis on bicycle as bomb-proof slower speed transportation, especially in the city of the automobile, interesting.
