For a long time bike nut like me, their museum is epically drool-worthy. How many people have heard of a Victor Vincente Topanga? How many people can name the movie that Victor Vincente appeared in?

I still have not been there which is just stupid because I only live across the river from there.

According to IMDB, he wasn't in any.

Because his real name is Micheal Hiltner. He changed it to Victor Vincente of America after his double-transcontinental ride.

The answer is at: The Time Machine Project- Victor Vincente of America

Fer cryin' out loud, I rode from my house in East Vancouver to Sunday Parkways (uhh.. last Sunday) and back. It was a great way to spend a few hours before I had to buckle down and mow my lawn.
