Bike culture has always inspired Larry, a lifelong bike commuter who has lived abroad and has experienced cycling to work in several cities around the world, giving him a unique perspective and a drive to improve our local pedestrian/bike city access. Seeing this as a pathway to enrich the quality of life and strengthen our community’s economy, public health, and reduction of climatic impact.
Professionally, Larry has had a lengthy career with Volvo Cars. Having expertise in strategic product development and design innovation has given him a unique understanding of the next generation of urban mobility. Larry graduated from and was on Transportation Design faculty at Art Center College of Design, Pasadena CA.
I’m a life long resident of Oxnard, growing up in the downtown area. After my dad first taught me how to ride a bike, my friends and I started riding everywhere and never stopped. I even took a few trips to Sycamore Canyon as a kid (my mom didn’t know).
I’m a daily bike commuter to work Monday-Friday and enjoy going on weekend cruises. I guess you could say I use it as my meditation.
I believe we need better infrastructure for riding and parking bikes safely within the county because bicycles are the only way to get around fast under your own power and can help with the struggles of climate change, physical health, and mental wellness.
Nina sees cycling as an immediate practical environmental solution. She spreads a ‘more bikes less emissions’ ethic while volunteering in the shops, and at public event booths, as well as by advocating politically for better bike paths in our area. Not willing to see a good bike go to waste, she has brought 100s of fixer upper bikes to BikeVC that were destined for the scrap metal bin. Nina spends plenty of time working on and giving away bikes to needy local kids, knowing this is a certain way to grow bike support and their own long term healthy and happy lifestyle. Nina will ride the Great American Rail Trail when it is completed.
We are asking that people respect this and use our services respectfully to protect us and the community
Como organización, BikeVentura y el Ventura Bike HUB
Nos comprometimos a pagar y proteger a nuestros empleados
Sabemos que las bicicletas son un servicio necesario para proporcionar transporte y salud mental
Siendo un socio comunitario esencial que permite proporcionar transporte seguro, saludable y equitativo, requiere su apoyo para seguir rodando, pero el apoyo puede verse diferente: Donaciones, Compras de bicicletas, Reparaciones, y/o Membresías!
Solo podemos hacer esto mientras las personas respeten nuestro espacio y entre nosotros:
Estamos “abiertos” en horario normal, pero a nadie se le permite entrar a la tienda sin una cita y todas las interacciones requieren un amortiguador de 6 pies
Las reparaciones se realizan 1 a 1 con cita previa. Por favor llame a la tienda (805)641-2665 para crear una cita.
La priorización es para aquellos que dependen de las bicicletas para el transporte y los ingresos limitados.
Tendremos venta de bicicletas con cita previa vista por Instagram @theHUBchopshop o Craigslist
También puedes pasar y llevaremos bicicletas a la puerta 1 por 1
Las partes están disponibles. Podemos llevar los contenedores a la puerta con un búfer de 6 pies
Tenemos una estación de saneamiento y desinfectamos las cosas antes y después de ser manejadas. Tenemos guantes desechables para el público. Nuestro personal usará guantes y máscaras.
Pedimos que las personas que hayan tenido síntomas durante la última semana o que esten tosiendo o estornudando, favor de no visitar!
Pedimos a las personas que respeten esto y usen nuestros servicios respetuosamente para proteger a nosotros y a la comunidad.
¡Extrañaremos a todos y esperamos poder trabajar juntos en nuestro espacio comunitario pronto! (es nuestra parte favorita!!)
¡Esté atento a talleres y lecciones virtuales!
