Previously he had talked about North Richland Hills, is this still the target?  Sure hope as the location he last mentioned to me is a 15 minute ride from my house and Right on the cotton belt trail.

 I'm like TOTALLY stoked It's would be easier for me to visit the Austin location than Lancaster   -  And on a main paved trail that I normally ride in GREAT for me cause I do not DRIVE

He mentions being near a trail, but also Ft Worth - so it could be near the Trinity, or the Cotton Belt.  Interesting...

A name resembling Chevelle and you don't drive any longer?!  You name brings back memories of me in my teens.  Across the street was this 1972, dark green Chevelle.  That bad boy was bee-yew-tee-ful, and it sounded nasty.  It was the first car I believed I could buy.  

Yeah, well ... not many actually see/uderstand the 'CHEVE11E'  , back in my younger years I owned way to many of them ( started withe a Copper 69 Malibu that I totally rebuilt & painted RED, I lived in MN so I had 'winter-beaters' as well.  And ended with a 76 Malibu Laguna S3 - not really a Chevelle, but ... the dark green 70 was the nicest one I had.  None were fire Breathing BB, way to heavy a motor for any kind of handling in that car, and always hated an El Camino (Ell Chevelle)but that never happened  Because of a neurological disorder  that affect my balance and coordination I now RIDE a GreenSpeed GT5, much better MPG than any CHEVELLE I ever had. God has BLESSED me with a very slow  progression (actually the LACK of it), I have many k's of miles and I think the bushing in the steering are to blame for the constant changing toe-in/out, so now I'm looking for a newer ride.  Even though I love the looks of the VTX, big drive wheel trikes don't thill me at all - and I kind of grown accustom to the tight turning of the GT.  Somebody told me that the NSR steering of the series ll GT's were better and I'm thinking that a X5 may have even better self centering  - so I've kind of been looking for a lightly used one.  Ive rabbled to much All to say that I can hardly wait for EasyStreet and there tike hope to get ROLLEN, maybe they will get to be a GS dealer, again ????

ITS OFFICIAL
 
Easy Street will open in North Richland Hills in March according to the email Mike sent out today.  Still no address but says it is on the trail, literally on the trail and shop rides will be done from the shop.

I don’t know for a fact but suspect it’s on Carlisle ct which is almost at the southern end of the trail. I know they had looked at space there once before and it’s still vacant and is literally 50’ or less off the trail.  For those who attended the ride they hosted last year, this is the area I am thinking.  
 
I understand Micah will be in NRH tonight for a Christmas light ride at 7pm starting at the Roots Coffee House, he may share the site with you if you can make it.

So, I here it's a "done" deal - EasyStreet is coming -   I can hardly wait, some how (procrastination ) I miss supporting the effort.  However, I will be riding their often and do my part being stuff for my trike - so wish that he was a GreenSpeed dealer I'd even get more parts from him.  Keep me posted on the opening do want to miss that

Any idea where the shop will be?

I suppose it’s official, Easy Street had landed in Keller http://www.wemakecyclingeasy.com  just a few miles from home.  If your familiar with trails and live in the area it’s an easy place to get to, or you can just look up the North Richland Hills and Keller trail maps and see it.

FYI - Bonzai is moving closer to you also.  Davis and mockingbird 1 Sep, not sure when he will announce but it’s coming soon.

This is great!  Especially since I am moving to Colleyville in the next few months!

 

 
 
 
THEY RENT trikes - NICE - I did not know that!
 
 

Well  , Micah had to fight to get the door key -  although stuff is starting to get done , I'm not expecting much until the  15TH (

I stopped by the new EasyStreet shop Sunday. Someone was painting the outside on the back side of the building. Inside no one working, but they are getting close. Only 2.5 miles to my garage door!

Easy Street opens 11 July, just saw it posted elsewhere.   Hours are 11-6 Wednesday - Saturday - I think.
