Baxtercycle in IA - Off I 80

For those of you going west or east on I-80 in Iowa, this place is worth a butt brake. Many, many vintage British bikes to look over.

I might be in the minority here, but British bikes do absolutely nothing for me. There, I said it.

I think they're kinda cool but I wouldn't spend my hard earned money on one. If I won the lottery, I could see a couple in my garage.

Is this before or after Des Moines? Or am I on the wrong highway?

Stayed at ski area in Maine one summer on bike trip and unknown to us they had this huge European bike rally there that weekend. Didn't blend in with our HD's, Kawasaki's or yamahas but it was fun checking them out.
