		<description><![CDATA[Headsets on tall bikes generally wear much longer than headsets on small bikes, even though the users of the tall bikes are heavier. This is because any small angular discrepancy of the orientation of one bearing relative to the other is magnified with a short head tube, while a long head tube reduces the effect. <a href='http://www.freewheelersbikes.com/headset-technology'>[...]</a>]]></description>

He wanted to use the tubes as huge rubber bands to hold together his fence posts, machine parts, appliances for recycling. etc. CITY newspaper <a href='http://www.freewheelersbikes.com/interesting-visitor-summer-2009'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple brought their two recumbents to my store yesterday. They had smacked their derailleur on the curb of the bridge over the river at the Western end of the Lehigh Valley path and it was partly sprung out: loose c-clip.

The screen had an alphabet and several commonly used words as well as navigation commands. He looks at the word go and the wheelchair goes!

		<description><![CDATA[In 2001 some of my customers encountered an unusual cyclist way out in the country. He was heavily loaded, and flew the flag of Nepal from his front fork. They sent him to me upon learning his story and told me to give him whatever he needed, at their expense.

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Cox was an undergrad at RIT in the early years of this decade. Some students come in every year and ask to shoot pictures of my store or of me. I think that the composition possibilities of a cluttered store and a disheveled merchant make for a good photo.

		<description><![CDATA[It used to be that bike shops hired and trained skilled and semi-skilled craftsmen who built the bicycles mostly from scratch. But retail is no longer seen as a lifetime career by most owners and employees.
