I guess my writing is not as humorous as I thought.<br /><br />I, like many other kids, at around the same time, and without hearing about the others, experimented with trail riding on bikes that were cruisers with bmx parts. I did not pursue the concept to the extreme like those folks in California did.<br /><br />This also illustrates the phenomenon of simultaneous inspiration, a common problem in invention.<br /><br />Thank you, but I am not the inventor of the mountain bike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-38059481655995857452009-10-12T11:51:15.685-04:002009-10-12T11:51:15.685-04:00oh no... looks like i'll have to retire my ...oh no... looks like i'll have to retire <a href="http://cars-r-coffins.blogspot.com/2006/05/felina.html" rel="nofollow">my '89 bottecchia</a> to the closet for a few years while this blows over.c-recordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550980926382489310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-43654384069881780112009-10-11T21:02:24.049-04:002009-10-11T21:02:24.049-04:00brianmillerdouchebagging.combrianmillerdouchebagging.comagent detroithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556201646913790759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-54270079675780434112009-10-10T14:48:52.806-04:002009-10-10T14:48:52.806-04:00I was born and still reside in Kalamazoo, the town...I was born and still reside in Kalamazoo, the town that Brian Miller "went on to university and to work in a bike shop".
