Bikes for the cycling citizen from Flying Pigeon
Flintridge Preparatory School students find out why you should buy a 65-pound bike.
Pashley Princess Sovereign, a $1,295 bicycle. "The quintessential English town and country bicycle." Note the full chain guard, which will pay for itself in the lack of dry cleaning bills.

Flintridge Preparatory School students find out why you should buy a 65-pound bike.

Flintridge Preparatory School teachers Tyke O'Brien and Patrick Ferry armed their students with microphones and recorders and told them to emulate Off-Ramp. We were honored. The students produced podcasts about the world around them, including this one from Crysti Wang, Jonathan Hagar, and Matthew Shintaku. The three visited the quirky Cypress Park bike shop called Flying Pigeon. It's Matthew's voice you hear on tape, with shop co-owner Josef Bray-Ali.
