It's great to see the people that have been off bikes have gotten into the fixed gear riding.

A1A for commuting to work and the Executive Airport with my kid and nephew.

Its a bike shop everyone is welcome including weirdos. That's Kenny AKA Crazy Kenny. He's cool biker dude and Bicycle Spot tire tester. (he rides 8,000 miles a year) his present tires have 2800 miles and he figures 800 more in the rear before replacing it. Not bad for a $14.00 tire.

More fixed gear bikes and parts and related products.

Rode bikes gave me the most satisfaction, but now making a huffy work is just as good.
