No Doubt the Rhoades Car is still being made. In fact they have been the
main sponsor of our home page
http://www.bikeroute.com for almost ten
years now, See them at

Also, I was at the last Mass on 11/26. And I didn't see either of you
guys. And I had a great view of pretty much the whole assemblage on my
HiWheel. Hopefully I'll see you and Zach at the next Critical Mass:
New Year's Eve!
For those unfamiliar, meet at 6 at the Justin Herman Plaza across from
the Ferry Building on Embarcadero at the Bay's edge.....
btw: We need to get more four wheeled bikes out there. The mass is a
perfect stage on which we can demonstrate the need for and the fun of
4-wheel bikes! How about trailers? How many people have seen this
awesome trailer bike that NBG TransAm vet, Max Chen built:

Or maybe we can get Max to bring out his shopping art recumbent:

Theres also a good chance that we will see SF resident and unicycle
Champion, Patrick Thomas, there. He was over last nite where we got a
chance to see Part One of the epic movie Don Loomis is creating about
his Mayors' Ride
http://www.BikeRoute.com/NationalMayorsRide2004 TransAm
last summer. Not only do both of these guys have some amazing stories to
tell, but I can't think of any TransAmeerica crossing that can match the
physical output of Patrick's ride! And he did so unsupported by vehicles
filled with massage practitioners, cold liquids and night time warmth.
On a 20 inch wheel!! And he wants to do it again!!
