Stage 63 - Grandpas Know Best, Northwestern Girls Are Smart, and Cleary Is Closed

Things are slowing down at the bike shop, which means there's more time to sit around and talk about bikes! It's a double dose of Joes as Joe Torres joins our own Joe for another scintillating stage of Bike Shop Society.

Listen in as a customer shows up while the boys are recording. But this is no ordinary customer—find out how his love for cycling led his offspring to lead a team at SRAM Corporation.

An unexpected caller interrupts the show—discover what the call is all about and whether anyone in the show is in hot water.

Earlier in the day, a teenage boy and his grandfather visited the shop. Find out what they needed and why Joe asked them to stop what they were doing at once.

And lastly, we break the news to Joe Torres that Cleary Bikes is out of business. Joe, a big fan of Cleary Bikes, shares some heartfelt stories about his daughter learning to ride her first bike—a Cleary.

So jump on the trainer, put in that earpiece, and let's go!
