Anybody else have to stop and go back and re-read the Park Tool ad in the October Bicycling mag to make sure they were not imagining it?

For those who didn't see it, there is a guy in the US Air Force who maintains bikes when in Iraq. His name: Sheldon Brown. Rank: Captain (of course)

If you've read Sheldon's personal page I'd say the odds are about as good as Osoma Bin Laden wrenching at your LBS.

What do they use the bikes for in Iraq... and how do they get them to burn oil?

Ever seen Black Hawk Down? One of the Delta Force guys has a mountain bike toward the beginning of the film.
