Pop Gallery in Culver City is hosting a closing reception Friday, June 10th for SUNSET CIRCLES — a show feat. a group of San Francisco artists, including the talented Jay Nelson (see above). This reminded us of our enlightened wanderings around The Sunset district of San Francisco last winter, where we encountered one of Jay’s custom built bicycle mobiles at Mollusk Surf Shop (also home to some ambitious indoor treehouses and an art ‘store’ by Thomas Campbell). Within a couple blocks, you’ll run into the General Store and Trouble Coffee (for coffee, coconuts & toast of course). So worth a visit.

Bike to Work week continues with a nod to those traveling across international borders for work. If you’re in San Diego and looking for a good way to spend your afternoon, join the cycling community of Tijuana for a symbolic international ride.
Details posted here by Tijuego.
What a lovely way to start the day! Jaime from Spanish textile brand peSeta sent us this documentary about a very special series of bicycle caps they’ve designed+manufactured for the New Museum of New York City. We think you’ll like it…
What’s not to like? Bicycle caps made by a bicycle powered sewing machine: available at the New Museum shop (235 Bowery, NYC).
Check out their site for sweet little pieces – from bowties to the Ukelele Bag for Marc Jacobs.

One of the greatest things about our two-city region known as Tijuego, is that it’s easy and fun to ride your bike from one city to the other (it’s only ~15 miles apart!). In the spirit of that accessible adventure, we’ve taken several rides Southward to discover some really interesting stuff on both sides of the border, from the salt flats, to Suzie’s Farm, to moonscaped underpasses, to sleepy little barbacoa joints in East TJ.
Luckily for San Diegans, some peeps at Tijuego will be leading a ride this Friday down South! The objective: to join Paseo de Todos – a monthly ride through Tijuana that’s a great way to see the city accompanied by local safety-conscious cycling enthusiasts, beach cruiser dads with their BMX kids, TJ hipsters, and several San Diegans embracing more of their home here in Tijuego.
A word of advice: don’t forget your passport or you’ll be sorry.

If we could have taken you with us in our pockets to Venice, we might have taken you to this exhibit: Japanese Graphic Design, 100 Posters 2001-2010. We happened upon this excellent little exhibit tucked away in St. Mark’s Gallery, amongst the Architecture Biennale going on throughout the city.
Hosted by the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation, the exhibit included 100 Japanese advertising posters, selected from amongst the thousands of works submitted each year for the most prestigious awards. These 100 were selected by a committee made up of two contemporary masters of graphic art, Kazumasa Nagai and Shin Matsunaga, in collaboration with the International Hokusai Research Centre.
Here’s a few shots of the 100:
