May Employee of the Month

Britton K. // Volker Bicycles

----------------------------------------------------

Like Ryan last month, Britton won Employee of the Month by a landslide!

Thank you to everyone who participated and voted this month.

Britton wins a pair of vintage hiball glasses. We found these at

River Market Antique Mall in a booth run by a server at Café Europa.

Her booth is down in the lower level and her prices are really great!

Volker Bicycles

Service Industry Detour

----------------------------------------------------

Britton lives down the hill from 39th Street and opened up his own bike shop in his Volker neighborhood three years ago. He likes being part of a community and not part of "strip mall next to a highway." Last May he situated his second shop in another tight-knit community in the Crossroads. Britton says the bike business is a weather-driven economy. "It takes three days of consistently good weather for people to come in and buy stuff." In the winter, when good weather often seems like it's never going to return, Britton builds wheels and preps bikes for high-end clientele who like to have their wheels ready to go when the weather turns. Volker Bicycles is a sponsor of the Colavita Parisi racing team. Britton has twice-weekly group rides. Click here to join Britton for a spin around town.
