Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bravo to my Local Bike Shop

Why do I use a Local Bike Shop?

So far I have gotten great deals along with paying a little more for some things.

However, today I get an e-mail from the store to come look at some road shoes and cleats. I show up and the owner fits me with shoes, pedals, and cleats. Payment? Just a thank you from me cause the pedals were his old Campy's and the shoe's were slow movers from last year!

I just wanted to share a praise report for a Local Bike Shop.

Now I am a true roadie with clipless pedals, yay!

Nice! I only get freebies from friends. I've been extremely blessed as I think I've only ever paid for wear items.
