To make a long story short: I helped a classmate of mine from HS get his computer up and running. He referred his friend to me when he wanted to start cycling. I helped him find a great bike shop (whom I was supposed to buy a bike from, but didn't), buy the bike he wanted from there (a really nice Trek 1.2) and related accessories, and get riding.
I haven't ridden with him yet because my schedule has been packed to the brim with stuff (and three centuries in the next there weeks don't help either), but I'm glad that he's rolling now.
