Village Cycle Center, The Blizzard of 2011, a snow throne, and The Onion

So, by now, we all know there was a big ol' snow storm in Feb 2011. And, we also should know, that in Chicago bike shops during the winter, we get a bit slower. Especially the day after a blizzard.

So, I go bored and made the Snow Throne and sent the fine folks at the Onion a picture....

There we laughs and they were super appreciative of the effort. So they sent me some stuff like t-shirts, an exploding hooker that writes bad checks, a kick ass Jim Anchover Air Freshener, and Our Front Pages book, which they signed.....

The Onion rocks.

Thanks very much to everyone there.

p.s. I dug out the mini van later on and ate their hands. They were delicious. Delicious hands.
