A large fellow, say....350# or so, came into the shop yesterday looking for a bike. I'm assuming he's wanting something on the comfort, shed some lbs. side of things, so I head over to those bikes(oh, and cheap....he "ain't gonna pay no $500 for a damn bike").
I'm showing him all the benefits of the bikes, when he spouts off with: "I've been on a bike all my life, practically born on one. I mean, I used to ride with no hands and all that stuff......I WANNA GO FAST!" I started to give a slight smile, since I thought he was trying to be funny.....he wasn't smiling. "Awesome", I say, so I take him over to the road bikes and hybrids. Then he saw the price tags...."Don't you guys carry any of those good bikes.....like Schwinn? I can get a good one over at Wal-Mart for less than $200!"
I was speechless, but managed to encourage him towards that direction so that he could.....GO FAST!
