Comment on Filling the Bike Shop Desert in GR by Cyclin' Missy

When I first read your post title, I thought, “What? Bike shop desert in GR? But there’s a TON of bike shops in GR!” Then I read you’re post, and I have to agree. There really are areas with no shops within a reasonable riding distance. And also most of the shops are on major, bike-unfriendly roads. For me, there’s the south location of Village Bike Shop about two miles away from my house, but it’s on busy and often construction clogged Kalamazoo. Near work is Kentwood Cycle, whose parking lot is terrible to get out of if you have to go left onto East Paris just yards from the 28th Street intersection.

So, I’m excited that a new Ada Bike Shop branch is opening near you and filling in one of the gaps in town. If all these bike shops can thrive…how awesome is that for GR!

More than just the grave yard is haunted at the GR Veterans home people!! I work there, I’ve been there for 14 yrs. and actually saw and felt an appretian walk past me! Several ppl. have repotrted saeeing this shadowy figure crossing the hall in the new building, things move on their own, rocking chairs and carts will wonder down the hall on their own.Think about the ppl. that die here, I mean it is long term nursing care, there is bound to be these things going on but why bother them or seek them? Let them alone it’s dangerous business messing in that area, non of us are a mtach for demonic activity & that is what it is plain & simple!Remember that old adage let sleeping dogs lay,or in your case ghost’s!

Happened on pedalGR via a news story about bike-friendly cities in the U.S. Looks like great fun. I’ve signed up and am looking forward to the night rides.
