Exactly, he is publicly well known. And he is known and respected in certain circles.

Exactly, but sadly as we've said before way too many people are stuck in the "But that's the way we've always done it." Mentality, and they are not willing to change even when it's been shown to be to their advantage.

Looking at the monster trucks that were out there, I can't imagine the 4 or 5 gallons is going to get them too far, and Friday is a long way away.
As for me, I drove to work today, and rode a quick group ride this evening. I'll cycle to work tomorrow...
