Coates Cyclery owner Corey McCroskey and his mother Shirley pose for photographs on Sunday in the parking lot of the longtime bicycle shop. Mr. McCroskey made a surprise announcement last week that the over 80-year-old business was closing down due to the difficult retail environment in the cycling industry. Over one hundred local cyclists came out for a group ride on Sunday to honor Mr. McCroskey’s contribution to the local bicycling community. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
