Swung by the C and O bike shop late on a Saturday and Denny was nice enough to help me fix my chain squeak even after closing on a Saturday. Would highly recommend that shop. Also enjoy'd Weaver's for dinner!

@n3vqh Hi Mike, that does not surprise me. Dennis is a great guy and in the 8000 miles I've traveled, this is the only video where I was so impressed with a bicycle shop that I made an entire video about it. Thanks for the comment, and see ya on the trail!

@Juan2know Hi John... I believe the instructions are in my "things to do in Key West" video, part 1 I think. It's a cheap foam visor I bought at a souvenir shop and attached with 2 zip ties. Works like a charm. thanks for the comment about the C&O bike shop. I stop at almost every bike shop I pass, but this one deserved a more thorough investigation

C and O Bicycle Shop has the dirtiest stinkiest portojohns ever. I stayed there 4 times. Garbage is always full and stinking. Did you meet the resident wino employee Ron? But I was always glad to be dry and safe from mosquitos and the showers are hot. Great town to stop eat and resupply.

Cool...I'll check it out and always love your interviews with other bikers. One question you can always ask, "What's the most important
