Profile of Ken Bukowski, Bike Repairman (Audio)
An accident at age 24 left Ken Bukowski blind, but his spirit and strong work ethic remained. He was determined to make the most of life, and that included finding a job.
The former owner of Shickluna Bike Shop on Hertel Avenue, as Ken puts it, took a chance and hired him to fix bikes. That was 27 years ago.
He may not be able to see, but Ken will tell you that doesn’t slow him down a bit.
