I was there man!

I remember reading articles about that guy. It was when the internet just started appearing for us in the sticks and there was this super nerd with shorthand keyboards on his 'bents handlebars. Fascinating stuff. What's the guy doing now? What happened to his bike, etc?

I'll definitely give this a read. Dude was way ahead of his time... too far ahead... /cliche

Yes I vaguely recall this story too - back then I remember thinking we'd all be riding Windcheetah SLs by now.... (pre-internet my only window into non-competitive cycling and associated technology was reading Richard Ballentine books at the local library)
