Bike Friendly Café Opens in Oakland
A café catering to bicycle riders has opened in Oakland, creating a new neighborhood center in a low-income area of the city. KNTV, a news station based in the Bay Area, did an extensive interview with patrons and the owner of the café in this video. The café Shindig opened on what was a previously vacant site once home to a fishing bait store. Shindig includes mounting racks for riders to store their bikes, a bicycle powered television, and recycled furniture and light fixtures. The café’s owner, Sal Bednarz, hopes that the café will become a local meeting spot where neighbors interested in bicycle culture can meet together and be an example of how businesses can be both sustainable and profitable. 1/12/2010
