My visit to Phoenix is worthy of three separate posts. The people I met and stores visited were each so unique.
Slippery Pig bike shop, in the heart of Phoenix, is located along the route of the sleek new bike friendly Phoenix Light Rail system. In fact, the train doors seem to invite cyclists to hop on board.
The Slippery Pigs are knowledgeable folks with whom Bryan Cowan our AZ rep is very good friends. Bryan former BMX specialist and has raced both Road and MTB and now does Downhill for fun! He is especially appreciated for his mechanical ability - even though he is a rep, he is often found in the shop fixing bikes.
Somehow Bryan and I got on the topic of the Military? Turns out his Dad was a Navy Seal in the Pacific arena in WWII. My Dad is a Military History Encyclopedia currently writing a book on WWII. Made for some heavy lunchtime conversation to accompany our Burritos. But, Lest we forget......
