Here's a bump with new information...

I got a telephone call, a couple nights ago from Nelson Vails.  Wow.  What a surprise.

He wanted to do a "meet and greet" at my shop Saturday evening (tonight, the 24th).  I told him I'd be honored, and I'd also buy some pizzas.

So- all of you are invited.  I'm not sure how many people will come by, but it will be pretty informal.  Share a few thoughts with this legendary cyclist-  5-7pm @ 1310 N. Clybourn Ave  312-587-0878
