Best Way to Fix Your Bike and Help Folks, Too Community Cycles of California 35 Wilson Ave, San Jose Like Good Karma Bikes, the full-service bike shop that reinvests revenue to train young adults aging out of the foster care system, Community Cycles of California has a higher calling. The brainchild of Good Karma alumna Cindy Ahola and Collin Bruce, Community Cycles is both a bike shop and public-benefit enterprise. After a year offering fix-it services at the Rose Garden Farmers Market, the pair opened their retail spot last month behind Babe’s Muffler’s on The Alameda. The goal is to build up enough support to offer small-business training for the chronically underemployed by 2020, and to launch service centers at low-income housing complexes where bicycles are often residents’ only mode of transportation.

Beer Yoga
Best Way to Kill a Hangover the (Semi) Healthy Way Beer Yoga Downward Drinking Dog The hair of the dog is certainly effective, but boy is it dangerous. And not just for your liver. Brunch mimosas and bloody Mary’s have a way of snowballing into the kind of epic day-drinking marathon that can swallow an entire Saturday, ruin any chance of productivity on Sunday and send you into the work week on your back foot. How about a compromise? Drag yourself out of bed at a reasonable hour, grab your yoga mat and head to a (slightly) boozy yoga class. This May, Downward Drinking Dog hosts an entire month of Saturday classes at Hotel Nia in Menlo Park. Tickets include a 60-minute yogic flow led by one of DDD’s expert instructors and a glass of champagne. Downward Drinking Dog isn’t the only game in town when it comes to sudsy sun salutations. Camino Brewing, Hapa’s, Santa Clara Valley Brewing and other local taprooms have been known to host their own yoga events.

Mantiques
Best Place to Shop for Classy Man Cave Decór Mantiques 37671 Niles Blvd, Fremont Those who have had the pleasure of visiting Niles might very well describe it as quaint. Before it was incorporated into the sprawling suburbia that is Fremont, Niles was known as a train town and home to a film production house by the name of Essanay Studios. Charlie Chaplin shot a number of films in and around the town in the early days of the 20th century, before Hollywood became the film capital of the world. These days, the main drag in Niles is perhaps best known as an antiquer’s paradise. It’s a great place to pick up stained glass lampshades, porcelain dolls and solid oak furniture. But for those whose aesthetic skews toward neon beer signs, bobble heads and vintage comic books, there is Mantiques. Classic action figures, lava lamps and a bust of Darth Vader are just a few of the items one might here.
