San Diego was recently host to the National Bicycle Tourism Conference (NBTC), a four-day tour of downtown San Diego and Coronado Island that celebrated the near-completion of the Bayshore Bikeway. This is the first time in the history of the NBTC that San Diego has ever been chosen, showing that the city has become friendlier to the idea of cycling as a main mode of transportation and recreation.

Cycling has become an increasingly popular hobby in Southern California, and a new Long Beach shop that specializes in refurbishing vintage bicycles has capitalized on this. The Bicycle Stand is Long Beach’s only restoration shop dedicated to refurbishing classical vintage road bikes and city bikes. Bicycle parts from England, Italy, and other parts of Europe line the store walls. Business has been so good for the owners, that they now receive calls from around the country for parts. Although the bike shop specializes in vintage European bicycles, it also services mountain, cargo and sports bikes.
