Some hot new wheels hit Two Bit Street

Was pedaling to Union Station this morning when I looked to the right and saw a guy taking snaps of one of the cooler pedal-driven machines I've seen in a long time.

It was Mike McDonald, an owner of Lucky Slice Pizza, at the corner of Lincoln and 25th.  The new wheels are his, to be used to deliver in the central part of town, he said, or just to sit outside and look cool.

The trike was made by the guys at Sid's Speed Shop. Sid was Deyne Stoker, who was killed riding his motorcycle in May, and he was so well known in the community the paper did a big story at the time (click.)

Mike said he talked to the guys at the shop about his dream delivery bike a while back, including tractor seat and other cool stuff like the cow bell and wooden cargo carrier, and the folks in the shop kept working on it. He credits Chad Shepherd and Dallas Casey for seeing the project through.

He took delivery Thursday evening, which is why he was out in front of the shop Friday morning taking snaps. He's just a proud owner of a brand new trike, and as a fellow bicycle owner I know that heady fun feeling and share it with him.

The pizza there is darn good, too.
