Raymond Harner with his Colnago Campagnolo 10-speed

The Icon visited Raymond Harner's CG Pro Bike Shop in Columbus Grove this week. The shop is an Icon advertiser and, according Harner, the shop has attracted a large number of Bluffton area customers because of advertising on The Icon.

Our visit to the shop was to learn first-hand what Harner has to offer. We weren't disappointed. CG Pro Bike, located at 18550 State Route 65, just south of Columbus Grove, is a small-town biker's dream.

Every photographer in the world has one pseudo-Bigfoot video. Or hopes to. You will soon view mine. I'm talking about the classic Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film.

No matter how prepared you are to photograph on film a UFO, Bigfoot, or a big cat roaming freely across a wheat field when it actually belongs in the Rocky Mountains, you'll never photograph it perfectly.

Your film will be blurry, shaky, out of focus and way too short.
