The Bike Temple fully supports all faiths in their spiritual support of bicyclists. They said that bicyclists are invited to visit and rest/meditate/warm up whenever they like. Bikes welcome through the ADA-accessible side entrance. Pasture Ted Very nice service, very nice shrine. The Bike Temple fully supports all faiths in their spiritual support of bicyclists.

One significant aspect of the shrine is to commemorate those, of any faith or none at all, who have died on their bicycles. Part of the liturgy that night was specifically recognizing the dead. It was timed for All Souls day for that reason. It is not established to create some sort of spiritual shield against harm. Unfortunately, we have one more life to mourn for which this shrine is dedicated.

A bona fide man w/ the title of VERY REVEREND actually used HOLY WATER on the bikes (well at least on the chains). At least noq they'll repel the undead better than without having been doused in holy water. Good for the coming zombie-pocolips at least. And... it can't hurt. Huey #5 - come on dude.
