Park Tool ad in Bicycling: what are the odds?
Anybody else have to stop and go back and re-read the Park Tool ad in the October Bicycling mag to make sure they were not imagining it?
For those who didn't see it, there is a guy in the US Air Force who maintains bikes when in Iraq. His name: Sheldon Brown. Rank: Captain (of course)

Ever seen Black Hawk Down? One of the Delta Force guys has a mountain bike toward the beginning of the film.
