Karl Schaette, chairman of the board of KHS Bicycle Parts in Olney, Illinois, celebrated his 80th birthday yesterday. He has been working in the bike biz all his life and the picture shows how young you can stay with daily hard work in this great industry. Unfortunately the doctors told him not to ride his bike to work anymore, but he still pedals many miles on his home trainer and uses the car to get to work instead. If asked about retirement he will tell you that he wouldn’t miss a day in the office and likes that better than going fishing or sitting on the porch.
