  • DALMAC and Tri-County Bicycle Association (1/June/12)

    Yesterday I had an interesting mix of unpleasant and very pleasant experiences.

    I was listening to the radio a week ago and Billy Dee Williams was talking about how he feels about Detroit. If you don’t know, Billy Dee Williams is Lando Calrissian from Star Wars. If you aren’t a nerd, then Billy Dee Williams is cool enough that you have to give his middle initial every Read more

  • Check in with JT (22/May/12)

    You might remember that we are sponsoring this guy JT who is going on a bike tour around the country to reduce bullying and violence in our schools.  To get JT ready we had him come to some of our Mechanic Classes before he took off because JT didn’t really know too much about bikes. Read more
