Issue: July 28, 2011

Hi everybody.
Do you like riding your bike around Reno? In this week's cover story,
I profile the guy who made bicycling in Reno cool, Tim Healion, and
the annual bike race he's been organizing since 1992, Tour de Nez.
Also in this week's issue, news editor Dennis Myers looks into the
crystal ball of Reno's future and what he sees is as bleak as a house
in a Dickens novel. And movie critic Bob Grimm reviews Captain
America, the latest superhero movie to come down the Marvel Comics
assembly line this summer. Don't forget to pick up a newsprint copy
of our paper for exclusive columns and cartoons.
As always, thanks for reading! If it weren't for you, all our tires
would be flat.
Brad Bynum,
RN&R Arts Editor.
