Thinking about launching a mobile bike repair van for this Sunday’s Chattanooga Ironman. Once those elite cyclists meet our legendary potholes and deplorable roads, business will be booming. Better pack extra inner tubes and ankle wraps - our pavement claims SUVs for breakfast.

Chattanooga could be groundbreaking here. Let’s offer a bonus round: if an athlete is somehow still mobile after the main event, let them navigate Dupont Parkway for a cross-country survival round. 

Honestly, this could get embarrassing for the "Scenic City” as it stands.
