First I would like to thank everyone who posted, emailed, or just thought well wishes for Gary and his family. Their son and daughter are here visiting and everyone is doing well. They are impressed by what a unique community this cycling world really is. It is rare for people to truly care about somone they have merely done business with. We thank you.

And for anyone who is interesed, I will be continuing Gary's good work. We are currently looking at our funding options and the legal status of the company, but GVH Bikes will go on serving the cycling community with the same standards Gary always followed. I've been working with him for the last 3+ years and would hate for it to end.

Thanks,
Tom

There's no better way to honor the man than to continue his business in the spirit he intended. You will find many supporters, myself included.

GREAT NEWS!

Good to hear that you'll be carrying on the torch. In this day and age of corporate giant mail order houses and huge bike store chains, we need small knowledgeable and personable shops like GVH.

Tom,

Please pass on my (and my family's) condolences. Gary was a great guy to work with and really made me feel like I was talking to him face-to-face in his shop even if I was only on the phone or the 'net, and never seemed exasperated with all my hemming, hawing, and decision changing.

I am very happy that you'll be keeping the light on in the shop, am drooling over the inbound bike, and will continue to be a loyal customer.

Thanks,

Pat

I just bought a Land Shark from Gary last November. He was a great guy to do business with--concerned about customer satisafaction and the quality of the products he sold.

I offer my condolences to his family and friends. Gary will also be missed in the bicycling community. He was a real asset.

I am glad to hear that GVH Bikes will continue in business.
