Sunday Talks at Faber's Cyclery
with Alexander La Riviere

Alexander La Riviere, proprietor of Faber’s Cyclery and bicycle accident investigator, will be sharing the story of the bicycle and its associations with freedom.  Since childhood, La Riviere’s life has been intimately entwined with the two wheeled machine.  His show-and-tell will also include the unique local and personal history that surrounds the bicycle shop.

Faber’s Cyclery has not only been La Riviere’s home and business for 30 years, but the building itself has over a century of history.  The cyclery has been in continuous operation since 1921, making it one of the oldest bicycle shops in California and the United States.  Other incarnations include a saloon and blacksmith’s shop.  Come by for the Sunday lectures to learn more about this special historic San Jose site.
