6The Daily Tar Heel Monday, September 14 , 1987 "Pedal Power joins the bike shop crowd By CHERYL POND Staff Writer Biking is a big business in Chapel Hill, and with the opening of Pedal Power in April of this year, the town now has four shops that service biking needs. The bike business is certainly good in Chapel Hill," Pedal Power owner . Gordon Sumerel said. "Competition is intense, but there are a lot of people riding bikes out there." Pedal Power is located at 300 S. Elliott Rd. Sumerel said he chose that location because there aren't any other shops nearby, and it is still close to residential and campus areas. The area's three other bike shops haven't noticed an immediate impact on their business, but Jim Rumfelt, owner of The Clean Machine in Carrboro, said Pedal Power is just taking another share of the pie. "There have been as many as seven bike shops in this area, but three is about the optimum number," he said. "When you start getting more than that, something has to give." Chapel Hill Cycle Shop owner Dave Witten said he hasn't really noticed a difference in sales with the opening of another shop. Wp serv s different market area," UNC board passes residence proposal By SHEILA SIMMONS .Staff Writer The UNC system Board of Governors Friday unanimously passed a proposal saying the system's president and the chan cellors of its 16 institutions are required to live in residences provided by the state. According to BOG member Joan Scholsburg Fox, the presi dent and chancellors have already been living in the state-provided houses, and the proposal was passed for tax purposes. "We just needed it in writing," she said. The resolution states that the officials are expected to live and conduct university business in state residences, and that excep tions would be made by the BOG only when the requirement would cause "serious hardship."

Sumerel, a UNC graduate, decided to locate in Chapel Hill despite the competition because he has worked in local bike shops for about 15 years and has established some faithful customers. He said all of the local bike shops need to attract student business to survive. But he is also trying to attract the women's market by selling the "Terry" bike, which is specially designed for a woman's anatomy and size. The "Terry" bike ranges in price between $300 and $1,000 at Pedal Power. The store sells mostly 10-speed bikes, specializing in the Miyata brand. Pedal Power also has biking accessories and plans to have a Nike clothing line soon. The shop offers a $15 tune-up, which Sumerel said is the cheapest in town. He also gives a 100 percent unlimited guarantee on all repairs. Sumerel graduated with a degree in philosophy. Since there wasn't much call for philosophy majors at the time, he ended up working with bicycles. "I always liked bikes," he said. "And I always wanted to own my own shop." During the 30-minute meeting at the Administration Building Friday, the 28-member board also passed a resolution hono:::ng Robert B. House, former UNC CH chancellor, who died Aug. 17. "He was a great man, and we wanted to do something to honor him," Fox said. House was credited with helping to start or rebuild 14 UNC depart ments and schools. Also, Spangler told the board how proud he was to have nine of the nation's presidential candi- . dates at the University to talk about education. The presidential candidates forum at the Smith Center began at 9:30 a.m. Friday morning. "We're proud to have the oppor tunity to hear these men speak on something of such great impor tance to us," Spangler said after the meeting. . . , . . . . ..Also at the! meeting, the Com mittee on University Governance announced the opening of nom inations for the Educational Advi sory Council for the N.C.

Besides helping students learn more about specific organizations at Carolina, Andronaco said, the aware ness day also gives the organizations a chance to recruit new members. "The awareness day is designed not only to inform students about oppor tunities available to them," he said, "but also to help the organizations in their recruitment process. Both sides can benefit from something like this." Analysis from page 1 lacked the knowledge and the tough ness to really do the job.
