Rolla Daily News story on bike shop owner Dan Fuhrmann

Submitted by Brent Hugh on Tue, 02/15/2005 - 2:37pm
A Rolla Daily News story tells how Dan Fuhrmann came to own Route 66 Bicycles in Rolla:
For Dan Fuhrmann, owning Route 66 Bicycles and encouraging others to ride is more than just his business, it's his life. . . .

After graduating from UMR in December of 1999 with a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering, he worked as an engineer in the automotive industry until June of 2002.

"During the time I spent working as an engineer my weekend mountain bike racing fueled my passion for the sport," he said. "I just kept getting more and more into it - at times it literally consumed me."

That passion, along with a little help from his brother Brian, eventually led Fuhrmann back to Rolla and Route 66 Bicycles.
