Dear Customer,

Thank you for decor suggestions. Although we have put a lot of time and effort into our store layout, you only needed 15 seconds to look around and decide what we need to change: masterfully done. We did have experts and many advisors when we designed the store, but you've watched a Martha Stewart special or two. Our shop has a carefully chosen theme and color design, but we will try to make your suggestion of gaudy cowboy art work with it. It also helps that you give your kindly advice to our baristas as they're in the middle of making 32 drinks. Yes, they'll get right on that...what was it you wanted? Oh, yeah, we'll put up some track lighting for you.

Well meaning, but stupid nonetheless...

Hey Anonymous (I know who you are--but I won't call you out)

Good for you! A single-speed? I didn't know you were that cool.

By the way, bike content, although totally unrelated to the blog, is always, always welcome.

Mid-westerners are also, grudgingly, welcome...
