He became "famous" for holding the 24 hour inline skating record and winning the 85 mile Athens to Atlanta inline skating race twice in the 80s. He transitioned to recumbents after a few years and now decimates weekend group rides from the seated position. A fascinating and colorful figure!

WD40 is basically kerosene in an aerosol can. It's not lube and it was never intended to be lube. WD40 stands for 'Water Displacement, 40th formula.' It's a great cleaner but it is not a lubricant. <br /><br />I have no beef with preference for Kirkland brand EVO. Although it should be noted that EVO is the world's most widely counterfeited food product, so it may not be safe to assume that it is 100% EVO.
