The Inverted Bike Shop - Cyclists Rejoice!

This submission, while not posted for aural reasons (although it's well matched to a sweet tune) showcases how passion can drive success and becomes contagious.  A neighborhood pal, Joe Nocella, runs probaby the best bike shop on this side of the country (if not all of it).  Here is his story.  If you ride or have ever ridden, you must watch this.

Brooklyn's Own, Mountains - "Blue Lanterns..."

In life, most times things come to you just when you need them most.  For me, this was one of those things.  Just beautiful.
