We've found a bicycle repair shop for the Small is Beautiful Project. Obviously a bike shop was a crucial addition to the growing collection of amazing establishments we're having the privilege of working with. This is the man who runs the place - well, this is the man who is the place - and his name is Gordy. Been a bike mechanic for over 50 years. Gordy's gone down as one of the most interesting people I've met, for all manner of reasons, and it seems I'm just in a long line of grateful customers and passers-by that have been charmed. Planning a return visit back soon to try and fully record what it is about him and his bike world that is so special.
