A LITTLE HISTORY; This company is of particular interest to Howie because the close personal feeling for the Persons family that developed over many years. Robert `Bob` Persons and his wife Dorthy socialized with Howie`s parents (Leo and RosaBelle Cohen) at the annual BIA Conventions (Bicycle Institute of America) held each year in Boca Raton, FL. West Coast Cycle was one of the distributors for Persons seats, which were quite popular in the 1950`s - 1960`s. *Charlie Persons,* their son, took over management of the company in the later years; Charlie and Howie have had an ongoing relationship since that time.
