FREE Fixed Gear/Single Speed Seminar at Rapid Transit Cycle Shop
March 21, 2010 from 5pm to 7pm
There are more ways to set up your bike than you can shake a spoke at. Come in for a free seminar that will cover the basics of setting up a single speed or fixed gear bike the proper way. Avoid the headaches and pitfalls of quick setups. We will di…

The late, lamented Walter and his wife Lily:
And some of their offspring:
I have also talked to the manager at the same Dominick's, who just smiled kindly and said "yes, other people have mentioned that, too." I rarely shop there because I hate Dominick's (even though it is across the street from me), but when I do, I mak…
