More nostalgia

Quite a few people find their way to RocBike.com while looking for product reviews. Which is odd, because we do very few of those. One of our most popular search items, apparently, is my review for Power Grips published on 28 July 2007, about a month into my bike commuting career. That review is accompanied by several photos, including this one:
Now, in addition to how cool I look, I can’t help but notice a couple things:
- That’s the Packet Boat — before it was Xtracycle-ized. It looks like a clown bike.
- Is it just me, or can you see the apparently lifeless body of a child right at the bottom of the photo?
It sure is hard to believe that when that photo was taken, RocBike.com was barely a month old and had a total of one contributor. As a matter of fact, I completely forgot to even celebrate the site’s anniversary, which passed back on June 25. Here we are, nearly 100,000 visitors later, and much better for all the work put into this site by Team RocBike.
Who woulda thunk that my goofy little clown bike would change my life forever?
