I am sad to say my wife of 46 years, Eileen passed away on April 13, not caused, but certainly correlated to the eclipse (in my mind.) Our daughter Emma wrote this touching obituary.

Charlie Bird’s Brakes
Charlie Bird (& Jojo) came by the shop the other day for a brake tune-up on their Espin Nesta, new pads in front, and a new caliper/pads in the back. We are contemplating an upgrade to hydraulic brakes in the rear, they really do work better and easier, though they cost considerabley more, and are a bear to install.
Charlie stayed on his perch most of the time, my dogs were chill as could be, they are used to Charlie in their space. Now back on the road, wave when you see them go by!

Domino Effect?
Check out this RadCity Step-Thru at Domino’s in Eastland Plaza!
I agree with whoever makes decisions at Domino’s, this RadPower e-bike is a great value. With a 48V/750W rear hub motor, this bike is maxed out power wise (to be legal on our multi-use paths), and can handle a 275 pound load. The step-thru feature is essential for carrying large loads, and front hydraulic forks takes out the bumps. The high handle bars make for a comfort ride, and the rear rack is welded on the body, quite sturdy. I am thinking it would be great for pulling a trailer as well. It is $1600, and not available till this November (unless you are a giant corporation like Dominos!)

Zephyr & Charlie Bird
Charlie Bird of Bloomington came by the Workshop to help build a few new bikes last week, and of course he and Lalo (dog prince of the manor) got along just fine…
