All this week we’ve been encouraging folks to bike the stores and make use of the brand new bike racks that were installed last weekend. The racks are free and were easily requested through the LA Department of Transportation. More and more people are biking in Los Angeles, and not just to be part of a party ride, but to make the most of their time in traffic and explore their neighborhood (and new ones!) in a way that’s much more conducive to seeing what’s actually going on where you live. The Giant Robot stores on Sawtelle have lots of neighborhood regulars, so the bike racks have been getting lots of use!

Be like Mal!
