Seen in Fargo: More evidence of a bike community!

During a recent trip to Fargo, ND, I had to check out the recently renovated downtown area (Broadway). It has really grown with new shops, restaurants, bars, etc. One of the stores, Zandbroz, has been there for many years and specializes in unique gifts, artwork, and general goodness in the form of a coffee shop and old fashioned soda fountain.

To my delight, I saw the barista's commuter in the entry of the coffee shop. It was a sweet Surly Cross Check with cyclocross tires, Brooks saddle, bar-end shifters, and a Nalgene bottle in the cage. Since I have family in Fargo, ND, it would only make sense that my commuter bike also has family there...

After some wandering around in the store, I found another item of bike-appeal. It was a clock made of recycled bike parts courtesy of Resource Revival in Oregon. I definitely didn't expect a city with a limited bike season to have such unique bike flavor.

Fargo has always had always had its own unique personality, so I guess this just adds fuel to the fire... or wood to the chipper.
