Good idea for my garage wall…

There was a bike shop called Village Wheels on 8th street in NYC many years ago which I would visit often because it was near my school. The sales guys and mechanics in this shop loved to ride and talk bikes, but they were all about making deals as well. Its where I got my first pair of XTR wheels by trading my baseball card collection. Its also where I purchased one of my very first mountain bikes with my own money, a green Ironhorse mt600… Often we would all meet up in front of the shop to go for these large group rides to either Staten Island Greenbelt, Forest Park or just tool around Manhatten and head up-town to Central Park…

Anyway, this was where I was introduced to the one-legged messenger. I told a friend about this guy and he didn’t believe me a guy could succeed as a bike messenger with one leg, but here is a video… here is the proof…

I miss BMX…

You know what… I have a trail mapped through my office building that I would love to ride one of these days… This video gives me a reason to try it….
