Kung Fu Pigeon

Flying Pigeon LA Bike Shop Opens

watch out, lance!

Legend tells of a legendary bicycle whose awesomeness is the stuff of legend. Its name: Flying Pigeon LA.

So that the worthy riders of Los Angeles could battle rising gas prices and expanding waistlines, brothers Josef and Adam Bray-Ali honor and sell the iconic Chinese two-wheelers at their new Highland Park bike shop.

The single-gear, steel-frame city transpo-style bikes come with book racks in back, wire baskets in front, leather seats, handlebar bells, and dynamo front-wheel lights. Snag a ladies’ version in yellow, pink, red, green, or orange. Gentlemen prefer black.

You’ll find a pot of tea brewing, karate flicks playing, and expert repair advice at the shop. Sunday mornings, bring your appetite for dim sum rides through Chinatown.

And keep fighting the good fight.


Flying Pigeon LA, 3714 North Figueroa Street, between West Avenue 37 and Marimon Way, Eagle Rock (213-909-8986 or flyingpigeon-la.com).
