Category: My Own Articles
This area is for my published articles, most of them from the ’70s and ’80s..
While writing and publishing the Fat Tire Flyer, I also contributed articles for other cycling magazines such as Dirt Rag, Bicycling, Bicycle Guide, Cyclist, and bicycle magazines in other countries. After the Fat Tire Flyer went out of print, I accepted an editorial position from Rodale Press.
Here is a random sample of my other work..
The Bob Weir Mountain Bike Interview (with Gary Fisher)
I wrote this in 1992. Every copy of this issue of Dirt Rag sold out.
1979 Pearl Pass Clunker Tour
This is my article from Bicycling Magazine about the 1979 Crested Butte to Aspen tour.
Fat Tire Flyer: Repack and the Birth of Mountain Biking
I published the first mountain bike magazine, the Fat Tire Flyer. My book of the same name is the definitive history of the early days of mountain biking, with a foreword written by Joe Breeze. As of August, 2021 VeloPress has taken Fat Tire Flyer out of print.
I am working with a new publisher to get back into print.
Meanwhile, enjoy these items from my files.
