Schwinn Bike Tires

While spring breezes sound a siren call to riders, it’s time to put your bike through the paces. “We’ve had an increase in bike tuneups because the sun’s out, after our hibernation from the winter,” Jeff Nielsen, owner of Island Bicycle Co. on Seawall Boulevard in Galveston, said.

He joined other area experts in recommending riders dust off their two-wheeler and perform some basic maintenance

If I were to list the important people in my current life, the three gentlemen in the photograph wouldn’t be far from the top.  The reason?  They keep Laura and me on our bikes.  That is huge.

That’s Jerry Armstrong on the left.  He owns Capp’s Bike Shop on South Topeka Blvd.  His son, Chris, in the middle, manages the shop and Jeremy Hutsell is the chief mechanic.  Thanks to these three and Capp’s great staff, Laura and I ride thousands of miles a year on what I have always believed to be one greatest inventions ever, a bicycle.

A bicycle has always been a freedom machine for me.  I can’t remember how old I was when I first rode a bike.  I know it wasn’t mine.  No training wheels.  I just got on and went.  Buzzing straight from the nearby schoolyard baseball game, I rolled right up to my father and mother as they sat relaxing in the back yard.   The next day my father brought home my very first bike.  My life has always been better since.
