It all started in the summer of 1993 with a crush on the boy at the bike shop. Now,15 yrs. 2 dogs, and 2 kids later, Melanie & Shawn are living out the dream they wrote on paper while dating. "To one day own our own Bicycle shop where people love to come." Melanie has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 11 yrs. but now spends most of her time with the kids and helping out at the bike shop whenever she can. Trying not to be the token "bosses wife", she is working mainly on our Triathlon Training Camp and Special customer events.
