In 2023, La Wheela Bicycle Place located in Far East El Paso opened for business. Since then, it has been a location which has encouraged those biking to stop on buy to share their enthusiasm over the activity, while having good food. Bike manager Javier Perez described La Wheela as a social interaction destination.
“The concept of La Wheela is having a place where people can meet, where you can come and buy a bike, have your bike serviced through accessories, upgrades and we also offer a full menu, full bar, yoga studio, meditation studio and a dance studio,” Perez said.
The original concept came from La Wheela owners, Richy Estrada and Monica Lozoya, who had the vision of motivating the community to exercise, eat good food and have a place to hang out.
