But your point is taken. I just had both wheels of my road bike trued at the Bike Doctor (after a nasty crash under the 47th Street LSD bridge -- there is, or was, an inch-wide crack in the pavement that caught my wheel and totally threw me) and was in and out that same afternoon, for a reasonable price. It's a reliable shop in a great location providing a needed service. It's going on the sidebar.<br /><br />:)chicago pophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055796523227869734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4186587935097536129.post-9284662532194820182009-10-12T17:18:06.912-05:002009-10-12T17:18:06.912-05:00I honestly think that the article should have ment...I honestly think that the article should have mentioned Blackstone Bicycles instead.

There's no way that the skyline is that large from Hyde Park. Even the angle of the buildings downtown seems slightly off from how they look in reality when viewed from the Point, but it's mostly their size that's been exaggerated here.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147458887550740652noreply@blogger.com
