have not been able to confirm - but was told Danny Chew set off a smoke detector / fire alarm riding a trainer in the basement of his house … apparently the rear tire began to smoke

as far fetched as it seems - would not surprise me

he had a top ten finish in the USPRO cycling championships (12th according to wiki ?), 1st place Mt Evans junior hill climb, and was a two time RAAM (Race Across America) winner - never finished lower than fourth

he once rode from Pittsburgh to Iowa in four days - entered and won a 24 hour race - and then rode back to Pittsburgh
