In episode 9 of Proof: Murder at the Bike Shop, we explored a critical question: why would someone confess to a crime they didn't commit? You heard it in the story of the Polderman defendants, where multiple confessions raised serious doubts about what really happened. On this week's SIDEBAR, we go deeper with Dr. Tina Zottoli—a NYS licensed clinical psychologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Montclair State University—who explains the psychology behind false confessions and how they can lead to wrongful convictions.

Scott Baldwin told us to keep digging. So we went back to the murders of Marinus and Sary Polderman and their daughter, Anna Lewis, who were brutally killed in their Michigan home in August 2000. The case went cold until eight years later, when five people were convicted. But what if the Kalamazoo Cold Case Team got it wrong? What we uncovered raises serious questions about a web of false confessions.   Visit our website at proofcrimepod.com. Follow us on social media.

In this week's SIDEBAR, Susan Simpson, Jacinda Davis, and Kevin Fitzpatrick break down Murder at the Bike Shop: Episode 8 — including why they couldn't let a big snake stop them from collecting a bag of clothes that may contain critical DNA evidence. They talk about what it was like re interviewing Scott Baldwin's ex-girlfriend, a key witness in his case, and explain how even well-intentioned conversations with witnesses can reshape memories. They also discuss what the death of alternate suspect James Long could mean for the investigation — and what that bag of clothes has to do with it.   Visit our website at proofcrimepod.com. Follow us on social media.

With more information in hand, Jacinda and Kevin return to Alabama to re -interview Scott Baldwin's ex-girlfriend and search for James Long, a former bike shop employee who should have been investigated. Finding out who received Silent Observer reward money—and who saw the bloody stick could bring the team closer to solving the case. And could a garbage bag of clothes hold the answer to who killed Earl O'Byrne? Meanwhile, a startling claim could have broader implications for other cold cases too.

In this episode, Susan, Jacinda, and Kevin talk about their first investigative trip back to Kalamazoo since the Jeff Titus case — what they found, what still doesn't add up, and how frustrating (and heartbreaking) it can be to dig into wrongful conviction cases where “key” leads may have been left behind.

Over the years, Scott Baldwin's appeals focused on one alternate suspect. But what if investigators overlooked someone else — a person who, by all accounts, should have been investigated? The PROOF team travels to Kalamazoo to uncover information about a potentially missed suspect in the murder of Earl O'Bryne. While there, they begin looking more closely at the Polderman murders and the five people convicted of the crime.   Visit our website at proofcrimepod.com. Follow us on social media.

The PROOF team returns for Sidebar to break down Episode 6 of Murder at the Bike Shop — “The Boogeyman.” Suppressed evidence. An alternate suspect. And one person who seems to know too much. Evidence that may have changed Scott Baldwin's fate. Wrongful conviction investigations are often defined by the leads that were missed — or never shared. Susan Simpson, Jacinda Davis, and Kevin Fitzpatrick examine suppressed tips pointing to an alternate suspect and explore how those tips may have shaped the case against Scott Baldwin.   Visit our website at proofcrimepod.com. Follow us on social media.

For decades, an alternate suspect has been the center of scrutiny in the murder of Earl O'Byrne. The PROOF team uncovers a connection between this suspect and a key piece of evidence that was never fully investigated. Meanwhile, Scott Baldwin is approached by a fellow inmate who begins asking too many questions not only about his case, but other cold cases as well — including one of Kalamazoo's most horrific crimes: the Polderman murders.   Visit our website at proofcrimepod.com. Follow us on social media.

At trial, the prosecutor claimed Scott Baldwin must be guilty because he “stole” the bank bags — and because he liked the song “Butterfly” by Tapping the Vein. But the bank bags were never stolen, and songwriter Heather Thompson explains the song's real meaning to Susan. In this week's SIDEBAR, Susan, Jacinda, and Kevin revisit the State's case against Scott. They also take a closer look at the case against Hyland Sterling — and the questions that remain.

As we approach spring 2026, thinking about the product mix in-store and online can make a huge difference in a local bike shop's success as prime riding weather returns to many parts of North America.What are your potential customers searching for online? What would they buy with that new bike if only you had it in stock and in front of them before all of the excitement of new bike day fades? When is it wise to hold a full size run, and when should you experiment with one or two of something?Pro tip: Helmets on test rides. First of all, should be mandatory for all of the liability reasons. Second, all helmets used for test rides should be nice, new, and clean. They should be helmets that you want to sell more of. Why?

Song lyrics. Alleged confessions. Stolen bank bags and a box of coins. This was the evidence that led a jury to convict Scott Baldwin. But what if one overlooked detail could have unraveled the State's case? And in 1995, when Hyland Sterling was convicted of killing his best friend and business partner, Rob O'Keefe, were critical details ignored there, too?   Visit our website at proofcrimepod.com.  Follow us on social media.

They also discuss the perplexing case of Roberto D'Avanzo: How was he convicted of hiring someone to kill 21-year-old Patty Lang when the alleged hitman was never identified?   Visit our website at proofcrimepod.com.  Follow us on social media.

Stacey told police that her ex-boyfriend, Scott Baldwin, killed Earl O-Byrne, but they didn't believe her. So why, 12-years later, did the Kalamazoo Cold Case Team decide she was telling the truth?

The brutal 1988 murder of 83-year-old Kalamazoo bike shop owner Earl O'Byrne is shocking. Earl is a fixture in the community who has sold just about every kid in town their first bicycle. Despite numerous tips, the case goes cold. But over a decade later Scott Baldwin is arrested by the newly formed Cold Case Team and is convicted of killing Earl. Scott is adamant he didn't do it and now, 25 years later, he's afraid he will die from the cancer spreading through his body before the truth is uncovered. Susan Simpson, Jacinda Davis, and Kevin Fitzpatrick race against the clock to find out what really happened before it's too late for Scott – what they didn't expect to uncover is a web of troubling convictions that expands far beyond the case of this one defendant.   Visit our website at ⁠proofcrimepod.com⁠.  Follow us on social media.

We saw a wide variety of results for the stores we talked to and met with during 2025. The usual factors were in play - weather, geography, brands, staffing, etc - so we're not sure how helpful the industry-wide, in-store sales data are as a reference point, so we'll just say we heard it all. It felt like our stores had solid results in-store overall based on our conversations. There were certainly exceptions, but I heard a lot of folks saying they were up relative to 2024.2025 vs 2024 on the Workstand platform - the number of stores with significant online sales was strong in 2025.Dollars: +7.4% over 2024Orders: +3.7% over 2024Units: +3.7% over 2024Perhaps the most surprising trend is that sales of electronics across the Workstand platform, once considered almost guaranteed to be fraudulent, are not only legit, but up 28% over 2024. Wild!What worked, what helped strong online and in-store sales?Focus on aged inventory - that's where margin goes to die, keep it lean and keep it movingTesting shipping options - for many shoppers, shipping costs matter more than the price of the item they are buyingAd spend - Returns were high for stores willing to investBuying for online - there were deals to be had with many brands and suppliers, so buying the dips worked wellIntentional content and marketing - good content matters, and intentional investment in the message paid offWe have upcoming events:David will be leading an NBDA Superwebinar on January 26th, entitled, Making Your Data Work for Your Business, Episode 1 of the 2026 Workstand NBDA Webinar Series.

For episode 207, Phil Waidner is our guest – Now if you read the title, it says West Virginia Mountain Biking and the Arrowhead Bike Farm – This is where Phil Lives and what Phil does, but how he got here is a whole lot of different stories. Phil took us from Indiana to Ashville, to China to Bolivia, to Vail Colorado and finally to Fayetteville, WV. He's had a lot of different roles in the mountain bike community that span from Tour Guide / Instructor to Leading Teen Trail Corps for NICA and a ton more.

For a bulk of the country, winter brings a sharp drop in temperatures, and predictably, a dip in bike sales. It's easy to slip into "Winter Mode": reduced staff, decreased hours, and a collective deep breath until spring.But here's the reality check: You don't have to endure the off-season; you get to conquer it.This slower period is not a negative to survive—it's a powerful, dedicated block of time to invest in your business's future. It's time to stop waiting for spring and start turning your off-season into your post-season.Here are seven ways to win your post-season! Dig into all the details on David's blog post.1. Master Your InventoryThe Power Move: Schedule a full, one-day store inventory. Yes, you may need to close, but you will uncover far more than you would with piecemeal efforts—from misplaced tools to completely lost product.2. Plan Your Product Assortment (and Displays)Action Step: Use your historical data (see #4 below!) to create a detailed plan for your product mix. Get your staff involved. Plan out floor space and fixture needs.3. Cash In, Clear Out: Strategic MarkdownsThe Focus: Identify products that are six months old or older. Mark them down aggressively.4. Unlock Data Power: POS ManagementThe Fix: I can almost guarantee that a quick peek into your POS will reveal dozens, if not hundreds, of items that are uncategorized or mislabeled. Dedicate staff time to correcting this.5. Elevate Your Team: Unified Sales TrainingImplementation: Select a training guide or framework that is easy for your entire team to learn, regardless of their position. Every single staff member should be on the same page.6. Get Ahead: Build Your Marketing CalendarThe Blueprint: Create a simple calendar (digital or print) mapping out all major holidays, local bike races, shop events, and school breaks.7. Deep Clean and Reset: Refresh Your EnvironmentThe Task: Throw away that three-year-old expired POP. Get rid of broken fixtures. Pull workbenches away from the walls and scrub down the service area. Invest in new service mats.Here at Workstand, we can literally help you with every single one of these areas—from running that critical inventory audit and cleaning up your POS data, to structuring your team's sales training.Don't just survive the winter; prepare to dominate next Be sure to email your questions to podcast@workstand.com.
