old school claim to fame



here I am on my first mtb. It was a red Cannondale. I used it for a tour from Washington D.C. to New Orleans after graduating high school. Soon after that it became my work bike when I couriered in Baltimore. This magazine cover is from The League of American Wheelmen(they changed the last word to Bicyclists a little later). My boss at the time wasn't happy with the one-way sign in the backround showing I'm breaking traffic laws....

love that helmet. somebody should do a retrospective of helmet styles over the years. looks like one of those foam lids I used to have. did yours have that thin nylon cover that you were supposed to keep on it ?
