new & noteworthy  

Thanks to everyone for your patience and understanding during my recent absence as I 'rehabbed' my broken ankle!  It's better than ever now and I truly appreciate the uplifting emails, calls, cards, and text messages.  You each eased my recovery and had me looking forward to returning to the shop.  As many of you already know, it's not just what I do for a living - it's a passion and I'm so glad to be back!

Speaking of bikes*:  You probably remember your first bike or the first time you rode without training wheels.  The excitement and the freedom is something every child should experience.  If you wish to share that as an individual or as a family, visit 88bikes.org and make a donation or purchase a gift card.
