La Biciglesia mural on the Bike Church in Santa Cruz. Flowers and smiles on a bike vs anger inside the motor vehicle.

January 5, 20131 Comment on Petition to stop bike sales at Santa Cruz flea market
Steve Schlicht, the man behind this online database of stolen bikes in Santa Cruz, wants the Santa Cruz flea market to stop selling bikes, believing that moving the market from stolen bikes away from the flea market will cut down on the rampant bike theft problem we have around here.
Steve has an online petition here for the local Goodwill Industries, which runs the Skyview Flea Market on Soquel Drive.
Santa Cruz law enforcement periodically sweep the flea market and check bike serial numbers against their database of stolen bikes.
Photo is from the Santa Cruz Bike Church several years ago.

Pogonip Trail Construction
I live not far from this new trail. Some people from Bell Sports showed up on the most recent trail building day before Christmas.

Lauren collects tubes and tires from bike shops and at local races and sews them up into wallets and shoulder bags. She tells me you can still buy her bags and wallets as a gift for Christmas if you stop by her garage over the weekend, and of course you can get them from retail locations around California and elsewhere.
Here’s how her bags are made.
