Who? Me, me, me! Behold my wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command! I have a bicycle! I'm the author of the mad satiric novel "Flying Saucers over Hennepin" (out of print, but some copies float around) and the super smart, vernacular, and historically accurate "Moonifest Destiny" (available online, do the google-loo), as well as the maximalist poetic not funny punk rock novel now available through ancient recorded cassette tapes converted to MP3 and distributed for you my dear as a podcast (google "Skull of the Robot"). This podcast is about anything I think of connected to bikes. Usually it tries to touch lightly on the ridiculous and the funny and the profound. It varies. A few of them are wild essays, the rest stories, fiction.... sometimes commentary on our times. I hope you enjoy them.
