This question was posed at the end of an extremely busy week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Sure, sounds fun."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This past weekend was huge (and extremely busy) for cycling! The Tour de Frederick kicked off the weekend with a 3 day charity bike ride benefiting the <a href="http://www.bgcfc.org/">Frederick Boys & Girls Club</a> and <a href="http://1in6.org/">1 in 6</a>. About 200 riders participated this year including cycling legend Greg LeMond. In the morning I grabbed my road bike, made some fit adjustments, and sent Mr. LeMond him on his way. What a surreal experience. I found the 3 time Tour de France winner to be surprisingly good humored and friendly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That evening huge crowds cheered on as High Wheel bicycles raced through downtown Frederick in the Clustered Spires High Wheel Race. After the race I got the chance to speak with one of the most experienced contestants. While he has competed in high wheel races across the world, he told me that Frederick drew a bigger crowed than any race he had participated in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The otherwise perfect day was tainted however with an accident that sent racer Alison Torpey to the hospital. Sadly accidents occasionally happen in any sport and we wish Alison a speedy recovery. </div>

The 2013 Specialized bicycle info has just been released. Some of the little surprises are the Tricross STEEL. The 2013 Tricoss Elite Disc Steel is a do it all kind of bike. You will be right at home on asphalt, gravel, and dirt. Other bikes I wish to note are the Carve single speed and the FULLY RIGID Stumpjumper Expert Carbon EVO R 29er. I can't wait to see these bikes in person but alas we will have to wait a bit for these new goodies to hit the shop. </div>

<span style="color: white;">Tom Rinker, 32, Roger's son, said he was tinkering with bikes before he could drive a <span style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-style: none none solid; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;">car</span>.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">"The attraction for me is just a passion for bikes," Tom said. "I romanticize the machines. I love the simplicity of them, the efficiency of them, the smile they bring to one's face."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">His grandfather's 50 years as a machinist also came in handy over the years, Tom said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">"He made many custom tools for us, and anytime a complex problem came up, he was there with his expertise to help," Tom said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">Victor Rinker, 90, visits the <span style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-style: none none solid; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;">business</span> once a week.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">Business was good at their former shop on Monocacy Boulevard, but their new location at Clemson Corner shopping center offers more visibility and foot traffic, Roger said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">The business has benefited from customers who treat them like family, Roger said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">"People bring us <span style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-style: none none solid; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;">food</span><span style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-style: none none solid; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-style: none none solid; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;">and</span><span style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-style: none none solid; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-style: none none solid; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;">drinks</span>. That's very nice," Roger said. "It's a good way to make a living."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">That type of response from the public is the result of treating people right, Roger said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">"Some people come in, they don't know what they want," he said. "We talk, and after some time they return to buy a bike for their kid or send their friends here."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">Individual attention is key, according to Tom. "Being a family business, we're trying to be polar opposite of a chain store, paying attention to customers' needs and offering advice based on personal <span style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-style: none none solid; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;">knowledge</span> and general care."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">When they were preparing the original store for the business, people would come by and say, "We can't wait until you're open," Tom said. "It's pretty cool to be integrated into a community and help fuel the passion for bike riding."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">Tom and Roger also helped establish the Frederick Bicycle Coalition, which advocates for bike paths, bike lanes and recreational cycling facilities.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">"We're excited to say that all the bike store businesses are members, and you see a lot of good happening for bike riders in Frederick County because of that," Tom said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">No matter your age, it's fun to ride a bike, Tom said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">"You feel like a kid again. Exercise offers health benefits but not all of them are fun," Tom said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">Roger started a Bicycle 101 class and got an incredible response.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">"It seemed to touch a need," he said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">In addition to being the founding chairman of the Bicycle Coalition, Roger is a member of the mayor's ad hoc committee on bicycling. Tom is the coalition's president. Victor Rinker said the country needs more youngsters who are interested in becoming engineers, or working with their hands.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">"You got to be able to make stuff with your hand, build things people can use," he said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="color: white;">The Bicycle Escape carries all kinds of bikes, Tom said -- from a model for 2-year-old riders to Tour de France quality.</span></div>

We recently had the joy building this for-stock mountain bike. It is an Independent Fabrication Steel Deluxe 29er. The frame is dressed in Sram formal ware ranging from XX to XO with Chris King accessories pulling the outfit together. Stop by The Bicycle Escape and check it out!<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14601979397290150498noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31731399.post-75203234912059280822011-12-10T11:42:00.001-05:002011-12-10T11:46:19.433-05:00Food & Brew For a Cause<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was one of my favorite restorations. The bike is owned by my pediatrician. He purchased it from his family's bike shop a few decades ago. Well after the ole' spit shine, repaint (Keith Anderson), and a recreated shop sticker (thanks Danielle) the bike is tip top.</div>

The <a href="http://oregonmanifest.com/">Oregon Manifest</a> presents bicycle frame builders with the challenge of designing the best utility bicycle. These designs range from large cargo bikes that carry heavy loads to lighter bikes suited for the challenges of urban commuting.<br />
<br />
Our frame-building friend, Renold Yip, of YiPsan Bicycles, has submitted this offering (above). Some of you may recognize it as a sister bike to Danielle's award-winning <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebicycleescape/4396216420/in/set-72157600261669437">Sunflower bike</a>. As always Renold's bike is an impressive machine. Some highlights on this one include the integrated cable lock and the custom chain guard.<br />
<br />
Good luck Renold!<br />

2 1/2 months before we bid this fine shopping center adieu some little punk decides to smash in our window. Thanks to some kind street sweepers the guy was scared off very quickly and left the scene before he/she stole anything (that I can tell anyway). The police were fast to respond and great to deal with. At the end of the day we were left with a mess and sleepless night. It could be worse.</div>
