After many years of cleaning up vintage bicycles and motorcycles,
we've found these tools are the least expensive, fastest and easiest
way to clean up an old bicycle or motorcycle.
Full restorations are rarely worth the cost. Use your labor and this
kit to improve the grading of your vintage motorcycle, bicycle or
scooter.

Ya'll could honor Sheldon even more by spelling "its" correctly in
your tribute.

Oh, good grief.
"The cycling community has lost it's greatest resource."
<i>It's</i> is the contraction for <i>it is.</i> To check, say it as
"...lost <i>it is</i> greatest resource." Because this usage refers to
the resource of the community, it is possessive. Lose the apostrophe.
Please.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
An apostrophe is a signal to the reader that an "s" is coming.

Looks like it can also be a signal that two "ll" s are coming.

Then landotter soulda written, "by spe'lling 'its.'" But, actually, two
"ll"s would be "llll."

I don't think you're wrong about that, it'd seem.
