A growing craze

I'm happy to see Hal Leventhal's Bicycle World shop considering a major expansion. The Belleville News-Democrat reported Wednesday that the construction of bicycle paths in Belleville has been good for business, and he is looking into expanding into other health and fitness areas.

Meanwhile, The Cyclery is moving to new quarters in Edwardsville, and folks there say it will be the biggest bicycle and fitness store in the St. Louis area. The Cyclery has been a loyal supporter of the Tour de Stooges ride since its inception in 1997, and I bought my first Cannondale from that shop nearly 20 years ago.

It's good to know cycling in catching on, and I hope it continues to do so even with the retirement of Lance Armstrong.
