Lisa, the helmets were taken care of today, I'll be more than happy to volunteer, post up and let us know what you need from us. I've got May 19th marked down on the calendar, 9-11am at New Braunfels Christian Academy. Would you like us in our cycling kits and on our bikes?

After I wrote the above update, I went to HEB's website and filled in the "contact us" form, basically with the same info asking about the possibility of a bike rack being installed at the new store. Hit "send" and then didn't expect to get anything in return.
Yesterday I got a call from the store manager following up on my online request.
Get this ...
The new HEB has a rack. It's on the pharmacy side. Never seen or noticed it before? Well, that's likely because there's always stuff in front of it. So the manager has committed to making sure that rack stays clear - it's supposed to be clear right now but I haven't had a chance to ride by and see. I'm heading by there tonight.
Next time you're in the store, at least take a minute and fill out one of the comment cards and thank them for making the rack accessible.
"When man invented the bicycle, he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle."
