Larger than Life



Every now and again we meet people that seem to affect the world around them so far beyond their own physical space. I had to stop and say hello to John Crews, owner of Bicycles Plus in Folsom, CA. He struck me as one of those people the first time I met him.

He takes the time for all those who walk through his doors. Not only has he founded the charity Ride for a Reason, supporting those living with Parkinson's and Cancer, his most recent project was to fundraise to supply the Pediatric Oncology ward of the local hospital with Notebooks (computers) for the kids. He gives back to the community on so many levels and maintains one of the top 100 bike shops in the country.

It's been a real privilege to meet John and spend some time talking with him.
