Welcome to 19554 Jaydine Street — a special Castro Valley home on a double ended cul-de-sac, with a story worth telling. This was the longtime residence of local legend Billy Bradford, founder of Bad Business Model Bikes. From his garage right here, Billy repaired, restored, and gave away hundreds of bicycles to people in need, creating a movement built on generosity and community spirit. His “terrible business model,” as he lovingly called it, became one of Castro Valley’s most heartwarming success stories. Now, as Billy begins a new adventure in Mexico, his beloved home is ready for its next chapter. Situated on a peaceful corner lot in a quiet neighborhood, this home offers a freshly painted interior, drought-tolerant landscaping, and a welcoming atmosphere that perfectly reflects Billy’s simple, sustainable style. The location is ideal — close to Marshall Elementary and Creekside Middle School, with Canyon Middle and Castro Valley High just minutes away. And perhaps best of all, the neighbors here are every bit as special as the home itself — friendly, caring, and part of the reason Billy loved living here so much. This is a true piece of Castro Valley history, ready for someone new to call it home and continue its legacy of warmth, creativity, and community connection.
