About working in San Jose area, mountain bike club and purchase

Working in San Jose area, mountain bike club and purchase??
So here is an interesting one. I am from the UK and will be in San Jose working until May, and (visa permitting will be moving here next year) I have a little interest in maybe mountain biking, but have never tried and have very little idea about the area, what bike (including type, suspension, just rear, just front) would be good to purchase or where a club maybe to join in with. I also have an interest in kayaking maybe but again, as above!!! Any pointers, web addresses, contacts would be greatfully received! Thanks in advance, Stuart San Jose - 1 Answers

Hi There! There is a place in Palo Alto that can help you from start to finish with choosing a bike. I believe the entire staff there is very knowledgeable. Here is the website link..... http://www.paloaltobicycles.com/home.html It's about 25 miles from San Jose. Good luck! :)

I'd say look on the sf bay craigslist at www.craigslist.com and find SF Bay Area... Most places are good to live like in Milpitas, Cupertino, Santa Clara... a lot of Indians who come here and work live in Milpitas and Santa Clara. Most places are safe to live and have ok schools just stay away from Alviso or East San Jose and in most cases it will be a good neighborhood. Also, dont let your kids wear any solid color of all Blue or Red or they might get stabbed or shot by someone.

I lived in San Jose for 20 years. The East side is VERY busy, with allot of different nationalities. And if there are gangs around, they tend to be on that side (East) of town. We really enjoyed living in Campbell, on the West side, near Saratoga and Los Gatos. From my years of living there, I would say that's by far, the nicest. Good luck!!

First, be aware that $84K is NOT as huge a salary as it sounds. Especially in Silicon Valley. However, it is not down near any poverty level as many people experience in the area. Careful planning and budgeting can help you live comfortably and even begin saving money. Next issue is whether or not you wish to live near other Indians living in the area. If so, there are several concentrations of South Asians, including a fairly dense community in and around the East Foothills and the Evergreen neigborhood, as well as another in nearby Fremont, California. But be aware that San Jose is extremely cosmopolitan and you'll find Indians, other South Asians and most other ethnic groups well represented all over the city and surrounding valley. Not only are there many Supermarkets around that specialize in Asian Foods, most grocery stores have Asian food sections, as well is produce. A tour of virtually any elementary school in the city will show most races and groups well represented, so there should be no problem with your young children being accepted. And, if you know kids, even if their English Language skills are not as sharp as one might want, it won't take long for them to adapt and get along with their peers. If you have any savings to bring over, it might be a good time to invest in buying a home, rather than renting, if possible. It's a buyer's market and, as long as you pick wiselly and don't get into a more of a mortgage than you can handle, you should be all right. Apartment living can get pretty uncomfortable, unless you can pay a high rent. But with rents that high, you might as well buy a house if you can swing the loan. Good luck and Welcome.

Talk on the phone often. Make sure you guys get webcams. That will help. It will be tough, but it can work.

try to meet as much as possible, by flying back whenever you have holidays, also talking on msn can help. but the most important is to meet whenever possible by flying back when u have time. Hope u can survive!

You'll never know which stores will hire you until you ask. Just pick an afternoon and go from place to place and ask if they're accepting applications. They'll let you know ... and you can take the application along with you. Hint: In pencil, jot the name of the store at the top of the application. Good luck!
