Bike Garage in Davis, at 1550 Cannery Ave., east of The Barn.
The 10-year-old nonprofit has been running the Bike Garage from Douglass Middle School, 525 Granada Drive in Woodland. Bike Campaign director Maria Contreras Tebbutt said she and other volunteers didn’t want to work out of a closed school during the pandemic, so they started helping people out of the garage of her East Davis home.

Like its name suggests, Wok of Flame knows how to deal with fire. It was back open last Sunday after a small kitchen blaze the night before. Davis firefighters responded at about 11 p.m. on Jan. 16, and had the kitchen and roof flames out within 15 minutes.
The Chinese food restaurant is at 417 Mace Blvd. in the El Macero shopping center.
Café Bernardo and its Tiki Bar were still closed on Friday, and had been since at least Sunday. A note on the door at 234 D St. said it’s temporary.
It’s clear one of the biggest stories of 2020 was the pandemic’s pummeling of small, local businesses. And just as the year wound down, downtown Davis suffered two blows: the closure of B & L Bike Shop and KetMoRee Thai Restaurant & Bar.
B & L Bike Shop, at 608 Third St., closed its door
