HED 3 wheels? Hipster!

Oh, but seriously, is this even out in the U.S. yet? I have a friend
who works at the local Landmark theater, and I've told him to be on
the lookout for me, but no word yet.

I read the book too, it was very inspirational. The guy went through a lot for sure, probably still is. I've been waiting for this movie to come out.

The front wheel on that has at least 12 spokes. Not aero. Nice to see him on 20" front and 60" rear. FUNNY TRAIN

I'm just reading Obree's autobiography now. The part where Moser rolls up his right trouser leg and borrows Obree's bike made me smile.
