I entered the new nexus of motorcycle hipsterism yesterday. On the way home from the museum, I stopped at the newly opened Bike Shed in the aforementioned Arts District. I had been following its development for quite a while, and a few months back even got a sneak peak from the owners. Since it's close to my route to work at the museum, I wanted to see what the scene is like. There were plenty of hipster bikes and neatly trimmed beards and plaid.
The merchandise store definitely caters to that $1 million-and-up loft crowd - high dollar watches, Hedon helmets, Belstaff jackets, and their own branded stuff was pretty high up there too. I reckon Mrs. Gone will enjoy perusing their store once they get a clearance rack up and running. (by the way, can you still get a loft for $1m? Yes, but you'd probably have a view of a homeless camp).
All in all, a pretty neat place to grab on overpriced iced coffee to perk me up for the lane-split down the 5 through Southeast L.A. to get home.
