One of the first things to know about me is that I am a bicycle nerd. I don't ride as much or as often as many cyclists. But I love bicycles and what they can do for people and their surroundings. As such I work as a bicycle mechanic in a local family owned shop. Jim (the owner) and Jim's bicycle shop have been around for nearly 40 years. Twice as long as I've been alive. Because of this our shop has gained a reputation among some as doing anything related to the road. From the top of the line, brand new carbon fiber road bikes, to the restoration of a Vietnam war era pedicab. It is a super fun place to be just because of the sheer volume and variety of things that come through. Soon I'll have photos of some of the things I just mentioned. But until then words will have to suffice!

Done with one adventure and on to more.

For those that have read this blog before, thanks for looking again. To those who haven't, Hello! My name is Dan McMahon. I had created this blog to document my sister and I's bicycle ride across the country. It was an amazing trip but alas it could only last so long. Since then I have traveled to other corners of the country in an effort to see what all is out there. Finally I have ended back at home where I'll stay, awaiting college in August. Until than it's whatever is interesting! I'll be posting stories of what I have done and what I will be doing! So if you think this is a cool enough adventure than tag along!
