Am I?

Yeah.

And we're going to talk about that before jumping into some classic listener questions,

ranging from shops offering tuneups to bike.

Oh, wait.

Shops offering tuneups to bike purchasers to bike modifications for certain conditions and everything in between.

That was a little bit of a tongue twister.

Yeah, you're twisted up.

Yeah, I was a little twisted up.
