On To The Next Day!

Well I don't know who said you can't have romance when you have children....but they were pretty much on the money!  Not to say Angi and I didn't try!  But, with so many other things and plans, when you have children you must be flexible!  Reducing your expectations to relative nill.  Angi was a little disappointed as the things she had ordered for me had not yet come in, except for some "Firefly" related window dressings for the shop (check out the front door next time you come by) and only two of the things I ordered came in.  But that's OK, as our Anniversary is on the twentieth (that's the wedding anniversary.  The anniversary of when we first met is on the sixteenth)  and the remainder of the items are intended for that day.  Of course, the Cosmos with its unnerving sense of humor, decided that Valentines day would be best celebrated by putting the full moon on display!  Yea.  The point in the lunar cycle when the kiddo's go batty.  Hence the term "lunatic"!  And they were in RARE form!  As the little ones are getting older their defiant streak is coming out.  Thoroughly testing our resolve against spanking children.  No, don't get me wrong, I'm not a granola crunching, Zamfir "Master of the Pan Flute" listening hippie that thinks children need their "space" and must "express themselves" (although, I did actually say that last bit one time, more as a joke then anything else) It's just that spanking's, while at times necessary, should be reserved as a last resort.  Let's face it, the thought of having to smack my children is abhorrent.  But then, sometimes the old adage "spoil the rod.." and all that, is applicable.  Their degree of in fighting, the level of disrespect and just over all bad attitudes has lead to a few "bottom pops" recently.  I just hope they get the point, and soon!  Needless to say, with all this going on, and our adherence to the fact that it was family movie night, any alone time for Mom and Dad came after midnight, in effect what gifts we did have for each other were given post Valentine.  No problem, at least it was in the spirit of the holiday!
Yesterday was very busy, thank you all very much! Once again selling out of all our adult sized bikes.  I did manage to get one more new goody out, in lieu of finishing repairs!  So check that out below.  I have three cruisers I will be putting together today, so keep your eyes peeled for them!  And don't forget to check out our new parts department!  The link is in the upper right hand corner of our home page! 
All right folks, it's back to the grind for me!  See ya all real soon! 


RE-Cycle is a family owned and operated "neighborhood bike shop" that specifically caters to those made to feel uncomfortable in those other "boutique" bike shops! We offer low price, quality service by using a combination of new, and/or refurbished parts best suited to NOT break your bank! How many times have you gone into another shop for what you anticipated to be a "simple" repair only to find you were going to have to pay more then you did to buy the bike?! Or left it there to be fixed for one price only to return to discover that what you owed had quadrupled! Or been made to feel less then intelligent or less then "cool" for riding your "old" bike? then felt pressured to just abandon it in favor of buying one of their "good" bikes?
Hey, if that's been your expireience rest assured that is NOT how we work around here! We have two things in common! 1: we rely on our own bikes for our sole source of transportation and 2: we are part of the working class!
We assess your needs through a creatively original process! We listen TO you! We let YOU tell us what you need and then find the best and cheapest way to attain it! We tell you UP FRONT what it will cost! Yes, every now and then we may discover another potential problem but here's the neat part...we CALL you and let you know what it is, and how much it will cost and get your permission FIRST! ALL of our work comes COMPLETELY backed with a FULL, 1 YEAR WARRANTY!!! Worst case scenario...If your ride is to far gone we offer FULLY refurbished bikes for sale, ALL backed with the same warranty and most for under a 100 bucks! We'll even through you in a trade for your old ride! ALL assessments are FREE and MOST work is done same day! So give us a call with any questions at (727) 831-9742. Walk in's welcome!

And a special shout out and a Re-cycle HOWDY to a young man who over the past few months has become a regular around here (and that's not necessarily a good thing for him, as we have to keep fixing various part of his bike!) for bringing us in a real NEAT gift!  More Window Art!  He did some work at one of the local movie theaters and got this real sweet promo poster that just look FAH-BU-LOUS in our window!  Thanks a whole bunch for thinking of us, man!
