Feel the Passion!
 Greetings!
This edition of the eNewsletter comes with another reminder about our Breaking Away with Masi and Century Cycles Party. This FREE event is tomorrow, Friday March 13! See below for more details; we hope to see you there!
This party celebrates a great movie and some great new bicycles, but really it's a celebration about passion. The passion of you, me, and all of the Century Cycles staff for bicycling. We feel this passion year-round, but we can especially feel it this time of year, as the spring riding season is almost upon us. You can feel it in the air; you can practically taste it!
So, if you can't join us to enjoy a taste of Italian culture at the party, we hope you are still getting a taste of the passion to get out and ride, and we hope you let us give you a taste of our passion by helping you with your cycling needs all season long!
Ciao,
Scott Cowan, Owner
Century Cycles

TechTalk: The Zen of Singlespeeds
With modern bicycles coming standard with 21, 24, 27, and now even 30 gears, why
would anyone want to go back to riding with no ability to change gears?
Find out the why, as well as the how, in this month's TechTalk post on our blog, The Zen of Singlespeeds.

5 Questions: Keith Heffernan
Keith Heffernan is one of our ace mechanics in the Medina store, and started at Century Cycles in 1998. As was reported in our blog, Keith recently had his life turned upside down when he lost his bikes and most of his other possessions in a house fire. He is a past expert BMX racer, with several national titles under his belt.
Here he is with his new Diamondback Scapegoat bike that was donated to him by Raleigh/Diamondback.
Q. What do you like about working at Century Cycles?
A. I don't dread going to work, ever. It doesn't feel like work, it's just like hanging out with friends all day, which is where I always want to be.
Q. What is your biggest accomplishment on a bike?
A. That would be my BMX race wins.
Q. What was your first bike?
A. I will always remember my Powerlite P-38, which was my first "good" race BMX bike, but my very first bike was a fixed-gear Kent with 16-inch mag wheels. A three-year-old on a fixie; how cool was that?!?
Q. What is your favorite ride or trail?
A. Vulture's Knob in Wooster has always been my favorite; it's just such a great race course. I love it for the technical features and the jumps, and it has some sections that really work to my strengths to let me make up time on other riders.
Q. What three words describe how you feel when on a bike?
A. Free, clear, whole
