Finally made it by the newly opened Pedaler's Fork restaurant/bar/coffee shop/bike shop in Calabasas yesterday. WOW!
the owners are avid cyclists and really wanted a great spot for starting and ending rides. Its been in the works for years and the result is a jaw-dropper.
They have partnered with Moots as sort of a concept / showroom for their brand only. There is also an on-duty mechanic in a killer little space with accessories & nutrition available for sale as well.
dedicated bike parking is out back with 24 hanging racks, all with their own chain locks. Just lock up your bike and take the key with you.
Beer, coffee, food, bikes and shade. Perfection. I highly recommend adding this to your must-ride-to list
Wouldn't it be better to follow the Orange Line accross the Valley than ride on the Blvd.? Not that I've tried it, but the Orange line seems to have a bike path all along the route. If you tuck in behind a bus you'd get priority light changes!
the Orange Line path isnt bad in certain stretches, but there can be lots of waiting for lights which gets annoying. And it runs well north of the blvd. I'd much rather brave Ventura blvd and have the lights timed more in my favor. Early Sun. am would be a breeze. And you could return home via Old Topanga.
Anyone know how far west (of Mandeville) you can ride Mullholland? It's an unimproved road, but I suspect a person could throw some 25s or 27s on and take it all the way.
UPDATE: you might want to give these guys some time to figure out Restaurant Management 101. The service has been... underwhelming, and their Yelp page is getting killed. Come on guys!!
Made it over there to check it out on Sunday but it was crazy hot and mothers day, so basically had to turn around once we got there. Looked very nice though, will have to go back another time.
One of the guys broke a spoke on the way up, and PF charged $35 to fix it, which I thought was a bit outrageous even if they did do it while we waited. I paid $15 at my LBS the other day.
