BY OLIVIA RICHMAN NEWS STAFF WRITER SOUTHBRIDGE — For some, the first sign of spring is seeing grass poking through the melting snow. For others it can be their first robin sighting or see- ing buds sprouting on the trees. And for some residents living in Southbridge it can be seeing 40 or so cyclists flying down Main Street. Those cyclists — usually in matching kits — are called the Road Dawgs. Road Dawgs founder John Steppic purchased Southbridge Bicycles four years ago. A few customers trickled in here and there. His friends hung out at the shop, along with his dog and mascot, Olivia Richman photo Olivia Richman photo Sam, a yellow lab. He saw a few cyclists Yellow lab Sam is the Road Dawgs’ mascot and usually is hanging John Steppic, founder of Road Dawgs cycling team, said it’s almost on the road, but not in organized rides. around at Southbridge Bicycle. the time of year where a lot of cyclists will be back on the road in He formed the Road Dawgs, and Southbridge. soon there were 30 to 40 riders on a Monday night ride. During the warmer months it’s not rare to see huge groups of cyclists on the side of the road in matching kits speeding down the roads. Steppic described the Road Dawgs and the cycling community in town as a big family. “I joined the Road Dawgs in May of 2013,” said Webster resident Rick Melo. “A lot of my buddies at the YMCA were part of the team. I like the camaraderie of the team and we all have a shared interest. There’s some competitive nature but we also stick together.” Having lived in Southbridge for 56 years, Steppic said that he wants to make a positive impact on the town. If there’s ever a cycling event in town he will be there for mechanical support. He also helped provide bicycles to the Photo courtesy John Steppic Photo courtesy John Steppic police department and serviced all of their older bicycles as well. If a school Some members of the Road Dawgs — Marc Moseley, Paul Roy, The Road Dawgs participating in a local race. needs a bike mechanic present, he will Robert Dumas, Rick Melo, John Steppic and Andreas Bopp. do it free of charge. Southbridge Bicycles also built a skate park for the kids in town to give them a place to go and ride their bikes. The Center of Hope built the ramps for them (Steppic said he often gives away bicycles to the Center as well). Most days — weather permitting — you’ll see 60 kids at the skate park. In the back of the store there’s a “hang out” spot for kids and teenagers into mountain biking and BMX biking. Said Steppic, “It keeps younger peo- ple out of trouble and keeps them busy, giving them somewhere to go. I’ll hire some of the kids during the summer, as well. I’m here to make a positive influence.” In the Road Dawgs’ early years, peo- ple were beginning to complain about cyclists on the road. Many felt that cyclists were getting in the way and making the roads dangerous for them- selves and drivers.

2015 Jeep Wrangler Never a Document Fee • Never A Dealer Prep Fee • Never An Interest Rate Mark Up 2015 Jeep Cherokee Aut motive Off-road and On-road Characteristics Both Strong in 2015 Jeep Renegade BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Let’s get this out of the way upfront. The 2015 Jeep Renegade is no pre- tender-to-the-throne. It can honestly wear the name Jeep and not be met with derision save for the most hard- core off-roading fan who might ques- tion any vehicle made in Italy that is designed to conquer Moab. That’s why Jeep has brought jour- nalists to the same off-road course used to introduce the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2010. At the time I called it the American Range Rover. This Renegade is no Rover but it is a comfortable off-roader. Something else to get out of the way. The 2015 Jeep Renegade and the 2015 Fiat 500X share the same platform. As one executive put it, that makes them fraternal twins of sorts but two diver- gent, independent vehicles. They’re twins born of different design mothers so to speak. The Jeep Renegade, executives said, was “100 percent” designed in Auburn Hills, the Michigan headquarters for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in the United States. Now that we have that out of the way lets focus on what the Jeep Renegade is: a true off-road vehicle that can be docile on the road. Let’s call it a refined Jeep Wrangler because that is the vehi- cle is most resembles in the company’s lineup. Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, said the goal was to get as much Wrangler Photo by Keith Griffin character and influence into the small The 2015 Jeep Renegade is capable both on and off road.

Probably 98% of its which is mated to a 9-speed automatic, owners will never test it on anything will get 30 mpg on the highway. That more trying than a gravel road. But it’s makes sense because the bigger Jeep nice you don’t pay a comfort penalty Cherokee is rated at 27 mpg. the rest of the time. Enough talk about highways. How does this do off-road?

There was one section Trax, Kia Soul, Nissan Juke where the little Renegade struggled that I feel the Grand Cherokee could have conquered easily. The 2015 Jeep Renegade comes in four Auto Review trim levels. The Sport starts at $17,995. Consider this the stripper you’ll see on rental car lots. The Latitude is $21,195 and will probably be the volume seller. The Limited comes pretty loaded at $24,795 with the Trailhawk starting at $25,995. It’s only available in four- wheel drive while it’s a $2000 option on all other trim levels. OK, so is everything perfect about the Jeep Renegade? One flaw is the use of an electronic parking brake. It seems to diminish the off-road capabilities not to have a hand brake. Also, the MySky panels are great in 6 Town-to-Town Classifieds • Friday, March 20, 2015 Happy St. Patrick’s Day
