Dana John Laseter
1958 - 2001
Dana was a fixture at the Bicycles, Inc Bedford shop. He was always
there with a smile and a kind word upon our return to the shop after a hard
ride. As a mechanic, he would interrupt almost anything to fix last minute
problems so that we could make our ride on time. As a Salesman, he gave of
his knowledge freely and helped us make decisions about even the most trivial of
components.
While not a roadie ... he loved bicycles. More than most, he would
share our enthusiasm over new bikes, new gadgetry and our exploits on the road.
Visits to the shop will be a bit quieter and less cheerful with him
gone.
