COMMUTER BIKE OF THE WEEK...

... Belongs to Chad from shipping. A relative newcomer to the Hawley commuter scene, Chad's boyish good looks, devil may care-anything goes attitude and flagrant use of platform pedals has quickly catapulted him into the upper echelons of the commuter hierarchy. Simply put, if Greg LeMond and that chick who played drums for Heart had a child, then he would be something like Chad on a bicycle: Strong, aggressive, relentless, uncompromising and with a steady kick drum beat and a penchant for hard-livin'. The office nitwits are trying to convince Chad to drop the platforms and buy some clipless pedals but he stubbornly refuses to forsake his platform roots. And although I also want Chad to ditch the platforms, you have to respect a man with principals. Horrible, horrible, backward principals.

Chad's Orbea:
Oooh, carbon stays:
Please talk some sense into this whipper snapper! (buy Wellgos, it makes Dave smile)
Chad drinks rocket fuel every morning. Do you?
