Patch: How long have you lived in the area?

Randy Myhre: Lived in area since 2004.

Patch: What do you love about living and working in our town?

Randy Myhre: We love living within a couple of miles of work, our kids’ schools and much of our shopping needs.  New Tampa is one of the few areas of Tampa where you can legitimately get around by bike and feel safe.  Of course the BBDowns construction has made things challenging for the time being but when it and the new bridge into West Meadows are finished things will be way better.  For recreational cycling it’s tough to beat Flatwoods – that’s why we moved the shop within a stone’s throw of the park.

Patch: What do you wish everyone who came into your shop knew about you?

Randy Myhre: We want everyone to know that we are committed to making your riding more enjoyable.  Whether that means faster, more comfortable, quieter or smoother; we can help because we ride too.

Randy Myhre: I’ll have to let our customers answer the last one!
