Bicycle Garage Indy

The BGI asks for stories and pictures from time to time. This is the second time this year they have posted one of mine.



Do you have a great picture of you and Your Bicycle from 2011? Wow it’s had to pick. 2011 has been a GREAT cycling year for me! Here is a picture of me putting the finishing touches to my 1972 Follis 472. I did a complete tear down, then powder coated and a rebuild with all the alloy parts polished. The next day’s shake down ride was flawless. The year has ended with 134 volunteer hours at The Chain Reaction Bike Shop in Goshen, IN. This has been a great experience. Helping others to ride that otherwise might not be able to. And being on the Warsaw / Winona Lake Bicycle Friendly Community task force to find safe bike routes in our community has been very rewarding also. Here’s looking to 2012 being an even better year for all riders!
