It's funny. There's a shop in town where most of the wrenches are inked and pierced. I've stopped in there on the way home from work, tie loosened and dress pants cuffed with dork bands. Totally different worlds right? Nope. It's all about bikes and how can I help you and get you on your way?

If they think it's weird that here's a middle-aged guy wearing a tie and riding an old road bike converted to fixed gear, they don't let on, they don't make jokes about my total Freddishness. Hey, that's a great commuting bike! What is that 42x16? Nice mellow gear for riding around town, isn't it?

Great shop.
