Best Of 2012: Bike Shop
For Old Town owner John Crandall, offering quality products and service is only the foundation on top of which he's built his business since opening in 1976. "The ability to work the business into a lot of areas of community involvement, particularly environmentally, is a perfect match with bicycles," he says, adding that the shop recycles "almost everything," from paper to metal. It also has a solar array. But while the sun giveth, it also taketh away: Crandall mentions an early snowmelt, along with the Waldo Canyon Fire, as challenges for the bike-shop community in the past year. At least Crandall need not worry about staffing challenges: His bike technicians average 20 years' experience. — Wyatt Miller
