Well shit, goddamn. It's about time that something was *devoted* to this CRC Coffee Bar/Cykel Garage thing (and the 'cykel' is homage to them damn Scandihoovians who spell it like that). I want it to be known that I appreciate all of the support and kind words that have been volleyed in my direction. The St. Paul Pioneer Press dropped some nice ink on Sunday. Also, remember that we're not only selling coffee, soup, and Pop-Tarts, we're also selling used bicycles (think single speeds, urban fixies, commuter hacks, etc.), tubes, locks, blinky lights, and more. And we've got one hell of a 'zine library for you to check out while on the spot. Spring is just round yonder corner and once it warms up we will indeed open the garage door and offer you some sweet sidewalk seating. Until then, drop the mouse and get on your bike. You'd be amazed at how quiet and serene the city streets are at 6:30 am. Now that the sun is rising earlier, it's even better.
