A Message from our President

I learned to ride a bike on Cantitoe Road. It was there that I fell in love with cycling and a bicycle's magical ability to amplify one's physical efforts. As a child, I'd been told the fairy tale "Seven League Boots" (the protagonist puts on the boots and can then travel seven leagues with each stride). Surely a bicycle was the realization of this fantasy! I was delighted by the freedom a bicycle conferred. The size and scope of my childhood world expanded dramatically. At 10 years old, I'd organize "bike hike" adventures for myself riding to what I presumed were the far reaches of the county on my balloon-tired Columbia bicycle with steer-horn bars. I've never lost that childhood infatuation with bicycles. Every time I throw my leg over one, that magical feeling of wearing those wonderful Seven League Boots returns.

I hope you enjoy your experience on this site. If you have any suggestions, comments, or feedback, please write.

Sincerely,
Tom Petrie, Owner
