Bicycle Alley Shout Out (Again)

Okay, so even though Doug gave a shout out to Bicycle Alley, I feel the need to praise them yet again.

So we've all heard the story of how a coat hanger felt the need to move out of Kansas and tried to (illegally) hitch a ride on my back wheel. Well, my back wheel is 100% kosher and is NOT okay with coat hangers using it as a taxi to jump state lines, so it locked up, naturally. Anyhoo, I needed repair work done in OKC, and upon calling Bicycle Alley I was instantly led to pursue them as my mechanics.

Ryan (ryan@bicyclealleyokc.com) worked on my bike in a hour, ended up knowing the mechanics who usually work on my bike in Philly (Bicycle Therapy).

Mike and Josh who also work at the store were super helpful and chatted about our trip, the tour and some other odds and ends.

Last but not least I want to thank Terry and his wife for being such wonderful hosts for my bike and some of us who bought some things--he also gave us a handful of free samples that is MUCH appreciated.

So if you're ever in OKC and need a bicycle to buy, to build, for repair or just to browse, Bicycle Alley is your spot...I know it's mine!

Sounds like the Oklahoma City was nice place to take a rest day. The hospitality extended to the team sounds amazing! Hope the Church visits went well.
Josh, we're glad you're able to ride with the team again.
You're all in our thoughts and prayers!
Ride safe.
