It seems as if my family and I’ve been cyclists from before we were born.  Knowing that’s impossible I guess I’m trying to convey that it’s difficult for me to remember a time when I didn’t have a bike, or two or three (N+1, right?).  With the number of bikes we have in our collection it made sense for me to start wrenching on them.  Having done so for 30+ years without formal training it was decided that attending a professional mechanics course was next.  Professional Bicycle Mechanic certification was obtained from United Bicycle Institute (Portland) in the fall of 2015 and Guy Town Bikes became official in January of 2016.
