Hello Tuesday. It's James.

What a gorgeous day yesterday. So gorgeous that thoughts naturally turn towards spending more time outside.If those thoughts lead you to considering biking some of the great bike paths Columbus has to offer, you will want to read Zoey Miller's look at the best used bike shops in Columbus. They aren't just for picking up a new (used) bike either - some of these spots include maker space and lessons on taking care of your bike.

The Tuesday Conversation:

A Columbus police officer was filmed on Saturday kicking a man in the head. The officer's name has not been released and he has been temporarily reassigned. [Dispatch/Needs-Woods]The Dispatch has a compelling profile of an undocumented immigrant working towards better things at Columbus State. It's also distressing to read of her desire to visit sick grandparents, knowing she may be denied re-entry. [Dispatch/Pyle]BrewDog has sold a portion of their company to a private investment group. The sale puts a valuation on the company of about $1.2 billion, and will put around $260 million in their coffers to fund expansion and buyback of shares from existing shareholders. Early backers of BrewDog have made out very well, with gains of 2800% in 7 years. Even late backers have done well, with backers from last year's equity offering having seen their shares increase in value by 177%. [BrewDog Blog]
