Graham Bolkema started GoodSpeed Cycles in 2010 when he was just 23 years old, after his dad was tragically killed while riding his bike. Shop manager Josh Klein walked away from a desk-bound career as an architect and inside sales for the riches and glory of bicycle retail. In this episode, Graham and Josh share what it’s like to grow up in love with bikes (and how to make your kids love bikes too), the origins of the name GoodSpeed Cycles, the challenges and rewards of running a community-oriented bike shop, and their HoFlo Worst/Best cycling nominations.

Tell us YOUR nominations for Worst/Best things about riding bikes in and around the Homewood-Flossmoor area by calling the Worst/Best hotline, 708/794-6588. We might play your message in a future episode!
