So Rob Penn and I are friends. When the Wall Street Journal looked for someone to review my book, Fat Tire Flyer, who did they pick? Rob Penn!

I got a great review, which hides behind a paywall.
Oh yes, I remember that chapter too. It sounded like a hoot! Even more that you guys survived those early days. I'll have to look out for that TV show, and pick up Fat Tire Flyer.

J.O mentioned Bike Tribes. Read that last year, a funny book that also deals with stereotypes! Some grains of truth there which is probably why it's funny.

I just finished Mud, Sweat, and Gears by Joe Kurmaskie. Great read, great insight into humanity and being in love. I'm just starting an earlier book of his, Momentum Is Your Friend.
