Paul
Paul started working with bikes at the neighborhood bike shop (that neighborhood being Richfield, Minnesota) In 1985 at the tender age of 14. His enthusiasm for these wonderful machines has not waned in the intervening years.
There were stints working for Mavic and then Shimano neutral race support as well as a few years with the U.S. Cycling Team, but constant travel got old.
Neighborhood bike shops are the best places to be, so upon moving to Bainbridge Island in 2000 Paul went to work for Elliot Bay bicycles and helped bring Classic Cycle back to Bainbridge from Kingston in 2001. Fate and an inevitable path led to the purchase of Classic Cycle in July of 2010 when Jaime and Paul finally bought the store.
