In competitive bicycle racing nicknames are given to
riders who make an impression. I think I was first called
"Big C" in 1988, the name has stuck with me
since. After retiring from professional cycling, I
started a bicycle retail chain and website with the name Big C
Bicycles. I also
created a Nationally ranked cycling team sponsored by Big C
Bicycles. In fact,
on some rare occasions, in a few local races in the late
'90s, there were even "Big C" sightings in race
results. If you look close when driving, and you're
lucky, you might just spot a rider sporting the trademark
blue and neon yellow...who knows, it might be "Big
C" |
