The late Heinz Linke

Anybody here know the late Heinz Linke, cyclist and proprietor of Madison Cycle Center?

If so please reach out.

Michael,

You may recall that we had a thread about biking awhile back.

It includes a reference to your excellent article about your own bike experiences.

Perhaps this link will help:

Thanks, Gary. I'm looking not for parts or general bike stories, but particular stories about that specific person, who was a cycling mentor to me when I was in middle and high school. Did you know him enough to know any of his life story? For example, could you confirm whether he competed in the 6 day races?

Good Morning Michael,

Like you apparently, I was very impressed by Mr. Linke and his kindness towards me, and indeed towards others who dropped by his shop. His enthusiasm regarding cycling was contagious. I did not, however, know very much about him personally.

Back to the bikes!
