BEST BEACON OF BIKE JUSTICE<\/b>
In 2008, Palo Alto engineer Jim Gardner realized his new calling while dropping off charitable donations at a shelter, where he saw a homeless man riding around on a dangerously dilapidated bicycle. Knowing that a simple fix would go a long way, he earned his mechanic’s certificate and began tooling bikes for homeless people\u2014free of charge. A year later, he channeled his efforts into a nonprofit: Good Karma Bikes<\/b>. Today, the service shop still offers free bike repairs and teaches people how to fix their own in free repair clinics each Saturday. But it has since expanded to include programs for young adults aging out of the foster care system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEST WAY TO LEARN THE LAY OF THE LAND<\/b>
The late Jane Jacobs, whose book The Death and Life of Great American Cities made her one of the most influential urban thinkers of all time, once argued that to truly understand the appeal of cities, “You’ve got to get out and walk.” Thus, upon her death in 2007, her friends memorialized her in a living, breathing homage called Jane’s Walk<\/b>, a festival of free walking tours that has since spread to cities around the world, including the self-described Capital of Silicon Valley: San Jose. Last year, participants led eight walks and one bicycle ride with 88 participants, who strolled through downtown as their guides showed them new murals, emerging development and historic alleys in the city center. The next Jane’s Walk takes place May 4 through 6 at several locations in San Jose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEST URBAN OASIS<\/b>
A trash-covered, weed-choked plot that sat empty for decades has transformed into a verdant garden thanks to a partnership struck between a powerful landowner and an aspiring urban farmer. Developer Barry Swenson donated a lease for the one-acre parcel by Citibank and a freeway off-ramp to Zach Lewis in 2013, which laid the foundation for a nonprofit called Garden to Table<\/b> and gave the Taylor Street Farm<\/b> the space to harvest locally grown, sustainable food for the community. The nonprofit’s advocacy also contributed to Santa Clara County’s decision last year to offer a tax break to landowners who take a cue from Swenson by letting people plant urban gardens on vacant land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEST WOMAN WARRIOR<\/b>
When an assailant yanked San Jose State student Esra Altun’s hijab in the wake of the divisive 2016 presidential election, it was a reminder of the discrimination faced by women who wear visible signs of their Muslim faith. It’s the kind of hate crime that has been on the rise since 9\/11 and saw another surge in the past two years. It’s also the reason why Palo Alto resident Rana Adbelhamid<\/b> wants to teach self-defense through her nonprofit Muslim Women’s Initiative for Self-Empowerment. The organization, which has trained more than 2,500 people since 2010, has expanded throughout the globe and offers classes in social activism and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEST SILICON VALLEY CITY TO BURN ONE<\/b>
The Bay Area has no shortage of cannabis collectives that sell legal recreational pot. But when it comes to Silicon Valley, San Jose is the only city doling out that sticky icky on the up-and-up\u2014and we’re getting very good at it. Caliva<\/b>, a vertically integrated dispensary that grows, tests and sells pot, was identified as the “best marijuana shop in America” by Business Insider. But that’s not all San Jose has to offer when it comes to quality herbs. There’s also Airfield Supply<\/b>, Haze<\/b>, Theraleaf<\/b>, Herbs Collective<\/b>, Elemental Wellness<\/b>, Lux<\/b>, Connected<\/b>, Buddy’s<\/b> and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEST WAY TO CLIMB YOUR WAY INTO YOUR FAVORITE JEANS<\/b>
Nine out of 10 fixed-gear-riding, jorts-wearing, 30-something hipsters agree: rock climbing is a rad way to stay in shape. Regrettably, a gym stripped the insides out of a former deco movie house in downtown’s SoFA District, but it redeemed itself for that offense against history by contributing a worthwhile recreational amenity. The Studio<\/b>\u2014a Touchstone affiliate\u2014really has it all. Weights, stationary bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, a bouldering wall, top-roping, lead climbing and all kinds of yoga. Plus it is a great workout, whether you’re on your own or with a group of friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEST BEACON OF BIKE JUSTICEIn 2008, Palo Alto engineer Jim Gardner realized his new calling while dropping off charitable donations at a shelter, where he saw a homeless man riding around on a dangerously dilapidated bicycle.
