According to one of our Chinese friends, this dish is one of the gotta-have's when you eat Szechuan cuisine.
On Friday, December 4, 2009 the Santee High Global Debate Team stopped by the Flying Pigeon LA bike shop to say hello.
The debate team was on its way back from a press conference with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa advertising his "green" agenda at Occidental College. The team rode a mix of cargo bicycles and normal bicycles from South Central Los Angeles to North East Los Angeles.
With a DJ bumping music in the background, the humble PA-02 stands alone: enclosed chain, fenders, dynamo light, sturdy basket, Clarjis panniers, locally grown and built bamboo trailer. In the background, on the wall, are concept sketches of the bicycles of the future.
Putting these bikes together, the amenities start to stand out compared to your standard American bicycle. The Flying Pigeon comes with fenders, a fully enclosed chain, an incredibly comfy leather seat, ergonomic handlebars, and a rough and ready kick stand.

I hauled these plants from Home Depot in Lincoln Heights up to Flying Pigeon LA's Park[ing] Day park in front of our shop at 5711 N. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90042 on September 19, 2008.
Flying Pigeon LA's Pigeon Park drew a mixed crowd of bus passengers, evening shoppers, and a few kiddos cruising by with their moms. A bunch of people thought we were selling buckets of plants!
This is some of the inventory I've been storing in my garage while I waited to get a lease at my new storefront in Highland Park. Once I got a set of keys, I loaded up the bakfiets and got to work.
Riding on the Marengo bike lane in South Pasadena to King Hua in Alhambra for the Get Sum Dim Sum Ride in December of 2001
This is what confronted everyone entering the SiteLA opening night party for "From Here to There": a bike design perfected in the 1940's, outfitted with gear and accessories to suit whatever circumstance throws at you. That would include cargo hauling all the way down to severe allergies (hence the bubble over the PB-13). I can't get enough of those Clarjis panniers.
These bikes are tagged for the $50 off sale on select Flying Pigeon bicycles.
These bikes have some cosmetic blemishes and road wear that make them not-as-new. We're selling them at $50 less than retail to make room for new bikes in our shop.

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
North Broad Street, Philadelphia
1871–1876, Furness and Hewitt (Frank Furness, 1839-1912). The building is a National Historic Landmark.
"The Pennsylvania Academy's brilliantly polychromed exterior at first glance reflects the rise of Ruskinian Gothic as emblematic of high style in Philadelphia in the decade of the nation's centennial, but the architect's larger achievement was in the realm of ideas. The massing of the Broad Street front now suggests the Second Empire of City Hall, although when the side wings were originally crowned by metalroofed industrial ventilators, the building had the appearance of three adjacent but largely disconnected volumes instead of the present center-dominant composition. Furness made a billboard of the main facade by overlaying it with sculptural panels carved by Alexander Kemp from Alexander Milne Calder's shop and derived from Paul Delaroche's Hemicycle of the Beaux Arts at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. These images describe the internal purpose as an art school—with Michelangelo in the foreground of the right panel. The strident hues of red brick; yellow-tan Ohio stone; purple-blue Hummelstone, with accents of red Scottish granite; polychromed tiles; and blue slate of the mansard should not distract from Furness's brilliant adaptation of industrial construction and planning systems to serve the dual needs of museum and academy.
The main public entrance is flanked by Furness-designed lamps whose details betray the industrial iconography of ball-bearing assemblies, pistonlike forms, and other devices that continue to the interior, notably the stair where universal joints form the transition between the posts and rails of the balustrade. The functionally expressive side elevation denotes in its glass roof the first-floor studios, while the blank wall above indicates the gallery that is carried on a massive exposed steel truss, spanning the studio partitions and in turn infilled with brick. A glazed steel-framed roof with a raised foundrylike central ventilator provides lighting for the upper-level galleries. The larger teaching studio and rear student entrance create a separate zone that isolates the bohemian artists from paying customers. Around the corner, on a small rear alley, an immense freight elevator door made possible the elevation of large sculpture and paintings to the main gallery level. Thus the academy was organized like the great factories of the region that were based on production methods and served as the “master machine,” to use historian Lindy Biggs's phrase.
The great stair hall, rising above gray stone stairs and drill-carved lower walls to diaper-worked plaster–ornamented walls of scarlet and gold and crowned by a deep blue sky with gold stars, is one of the brilliant spaces of American architecture. Here Furness sets a too big stair on a carpet of Minton tile that presses the visitor upward to the skylighted galleries that illuminate the academy's splendid collection of American painting. To the rear of the great stair hall, the building is little more than an industrial loft whose skylights are lighted from above by a glass roof carried on light steel trusses. Within the galleries and in the main corridor, cast-iron columns carry unadorned steel beams that bear the mark of their maker, the Phoenix Iron Company. The building continues to function in its original use with one of the premier collections of American painting on the upper level and the school in the lower levels. "

Another perspective on the plants I hauled from Home Depot to the Park[ing] Day park we set up in front of our bike shop in Highland Park. These things weighed a lot, but the bakfiets handled the weight like a champ. I ended up getting a mouthful of grass seeds blown in my face while riding around with these.
Gathering, pre-dawn, to ride in the Acura LA BikeTour for Think Cure, Team Flying Pigeon (Varsity and JV squad) are ready to to roll.
