SOUTHWEST HARBOR Since he was 19 years old, bicycle shops have been an integral part of Bob Shields’ life, especially the one he has run on Main Street for the last 40 years.
“I first started in a bike shop in ‘74,” he said from inside Southwest Cycle on Tuesday afternoon. “I was working in a shop when I heard Nixon resign. I was working in a shop when they took hostages in Tehran. I was working in a shop when Reagan was shot.”
