You should see the Whole Foods parking lot. Typically car and bike parking are very limited. And there are spots for about 60 bikes! You've got the gamut of fixies, city bikes, beater bikes and fancy racing bikes with the Priuses, BMWs, Volvos, beater cars and the typical compact and mid-sized cars. Everyone is a Whole Foods. Literally.
Dutch Bike Bits has all kinds of stuff you might like, that's for sure.
I'm jealous of Oakland. Here I am, just getting settled into this area, which will never be as progressive. Then again, no way I'd be able to afford to live in Oakland.
