Great little café with some bike-touring pedigree!
In 2015, five friends from Australia -- Charlie Turnbull, Cameron Ford, Leon Morton, Ollie Chiswell, Redouane Chaouki -- inspired by the themes of migration, humanity, and wealth distribution in John Steinbeck's Pultizer Prize-winning novel 'The Grapes of Wrath,' set out to cycle the 2600 kms from Oklahoma to California, following the same route as the novel's titular family, the Joads.
With only $420 between them, the five friends relied on the kindness of strangers and road magic to complete their journey, documenting their adventure for the film 'The Bikes of Wrath.'
Ollie Chiswell is the co-owner of this café and you will find photos of the journey adorning the walls within.
