After a picture-perfect
March, sunny blue skies gave way to the typically turbulent
weather patterns of spring. Nevertheless, local bike
mechanics are up to their eyeballs in cables, cassettes
and chains with throngs of cyclists in need of everything
from a minor tune to a complete overhaul. Local shops
are bustling with people eager to get their gear in
better shape than they're in, hoping to get any strategic
advantage possible for the lung-busting ascents of spring.
Walk, don't run, better yet ride, to your nearest shop
to get your bike in line for its yearly deep muscle
massage and spa treatment.
