A gathering place "for all things bicycle." It sounds like what this blog has become, doesn't it?
But, in real life, such a thing is in the works. This week, the San Diego City Council approved plans for a $2.6 million regional center in Liberty Station.

The new center is slated to have areas for lectures, exhibits, safety seminars, group gatherings, bike repair and "limited" commercial activity.
That last item may be one reason why the plans were approved: Some of the project's funds could come from fees paid by businesses that operate in the facility. The sale of naming rights is also under consideration. Whatever else is done, the San Diego County Bicycle will hold a fundraising campaign for the center.
Part of the center will be in an abandoned US Navy building. The site is near San Diego Bay where, I am told, the sunsets are spectacular.
