The National Western Complex in Denver held this year’s most exciting bicycle show. We got to see some of the finest custom frame-builders, production bike manufacturers, components & accessory companies.  I couldn’t believe the imagination and pure inventiveness of these bikes’ creators: some big wheelies, recumbents, traditionals, and the hand-crafted.  Absolutely amazing what these guys can do with their hands and a box set of tools.

As far as parfaits were concerned, my guess is that we sampled to 75% of the crowd this past weekend.  And if anything, we gave out a reusable bag to each family.  I also found a little friend this weekend who I have seen at past events.  He had told me he had made a Bear Naked poster out of all the stickers and leftover bags he and his family had consumed.  He said he couldn’t even imagine a day without his Bear Naked breakfast.  He imagined it would be something along the lines of what the Mayans had proposed in the year 2012.  Don’t worry, little man, I feel the same way.
