Mountain Biking

I have written several blogs in the past on mountain biking. One reason I've done this: mountain biking is truly a hippie creation in the spirit of a genuine Briarpatch business.  It is a perfect example of the way the hippy efflorescence shaped our contemporary world.

I want to call your attention to a DVD that Billy Savage made of the history of the founding of mountain biking. Its called Klunkerz.  You can buy it for $22.

The reason I commend this DVD to you, is that it conveys the values and exuberance of the hippy world.  Everything is there, the community, the sharing, the optimism, the openness and most of all, the DVD conveys the flat-out dedication to fun.

I sure miss that. I'm not sentimental, but it was wonderful to be around other people who acted with confidence and joy.
