Thank you from Torie to the Colorado Springs Cycling Community over the summer months.

Before the interview, Torie gives a heartfelt thank you to the Colorado Springs Cycling Community & her guest hosts who filled in this summer.

Find out more about Graham, the former Barnette Bicycle Institute instructor with more than 20 years in the industry and now owner of Westside Bicycle Service, and his path to shop ownership and finding work-life balance for his family – and to pursue his own cycling passion.
