In 1979 Bob Osborne from a BMX publication called Bicycle Motocross Action paid a visit to Marin County to check out the new “clunker” movement. The real draw was Mert Lawwill, retired motorcycle champion who now had his own line of balloon tire bikes called the ProCruiser.
The result was one of the first articles to appear in a bicycling publication about the new direction in bicycling.
