Added DiffLines:

''[[http://www.yehudamoon.com/ Yehuda Moon & the Kickstand Cyclery]]'' was a SliceOfLife Webcomic created by ShuckComics' Rick Smith with editing by Tania Menesse and occasional writing by former bike shop employee and mutant bike builder Brian Griggs. It centers around the Kickstand Cyclery, a bicycle shop owned by Yehuda Moon and Joe King which specializes in bikes that use frames built by a local Shaker community.

The comic moved back and forth between gag-a-day strips making fun of cycling stereotypes and more serious story arcs. The strip starts shortly after owner Fred dies in a cycling accident, forcing shop mechanics Yehuda and Joe to take over.

Rick Smith drew and inked the comics by hand and then scans them into Photoshop for coloring. The strip almost exclusively uses a four panel format. Smith officially ended the strip at the end of September 2011 after a multi-week hiatus because other commitments were keeping him from working on it.
