I need to get to get there quick…I can’t believe this is happening.
What is that a tractor?  I hope they don’t hold me up – there are only two places to pass on this road, it’s so twisty -
Finally, he’s turning into that farm…tractors…okay, back up to speed…ten minutes…I’m gonna be late.
The views along these roads are nice but these mountains are not a convenience for driving…(sigh)….three minutes…I’m not gonna make it.
What’s this?  are you kidding me…get the hell outta the way fella…spandex clad whacko…sheesh, this is a ROAD…meant for CARS…get outta the way.
…no as in move over out of my way…and of course its on a blind corner…MOVE OVER out of my way! I’m late you #$^%$%!
So arrogant, think you own the entire road…in your stretchy clothes…these roads are NOT for bikes!
Yeah buddy, you like the feel of my passenger side mirror as it grazes your elbow…you’re lucky I don’t have the truck, I’d send you into the
ditch bloody…NOW OUT OF MY WAY…”JERK – GET A JOB BUDDY!”…flip me off – I hate cyclists.

The Cyclist:

What a beautiful day here in the mountains…I can’t wait to get outta the house for my early morning ride.  The sun looks great against the mountains.
Can’t believe I worked this into my schedule…a little brisk out today, I’ll have to go with the arm warmers.
All right, on the road…clicked-in, feel stiff and sore from riding intervals yesterday – nice and easy today, I think I’ll head up towards that mellow twisty climb, such nice views.
Wow the shoulder is a bit rough…gotta love country roads…not too much traffic…no big hurry…..i need to get outta the city and move here permanantly, such a better pace of life…and I have roads like THESE to ride, woo hoo look at that view.   Oh, I hear a car comming, sounds like he’s moving fast…hmm, I can’t see around that corner behind me…i’ll just hug the white line….careful not to flat or catch a rut and fly off the road….sketchy…easy does it.
Holy cow…he’s right on me, I have no where to go, are you kidding man?  Holy S@$% that was close…he almost clipped my elbow…”yeah right here you JERK!”
What are people thinking – you trying kill me?

To kick off our winter bike tuning classes we had a preliminary run of it with local BMX racer Macklind Lorenz. Mack graduated with the class with flying colors and received his diploma in the most awkward manner we could conceive.

Would you like to be next to take our Park Tool Bicycle Tuning Class? Just give us a call at 518 677 2858 to schedule your class today!

We feel that one of the ways we can begin to do this for customers of all ages, budgets, and athletic abilities is to ask a simple question.

What can we do for you?

Should we carry more road bikes? More BMX bikes and comfort cruisers? Would a custom fit from a certified fit specialist be what your looking for? How about a professional bike tune up? Or perhaps we could order some parts for your old bike that you’re looking to fix up yourself. What ever it is, just ask! We’re here to help. We’d love for you to be our next customer. So lets get this ball rolling, leave a comment here and let us know what you want!
