This place is not listed, but the Real Deal across from the C&O Bicycle Shop in Hancock burned down in late February. Arson is suspected. The Real Deal was a total loss while the C&O Bicycle Shop sustained loss of windows, heat and water damage. It appears that Dennis, proprietor of C&O Bicycle Shop, is repairing the damage and will be open for business in 2013, though it he may be late in doing so. Strongly encourage everyone to stop by, say hello to Dennis and purchase something, any thing, to help him out.

Looks like the bike shop will be reopening on April 8.
