Awesome retired dude fixes up bikes and gives them away

"I enjoyed my ride across the continent so much that afterwards I wanted to produce a short how-to for other potential riders. I posted notices in travelers's newsletters to locate about 150 other people who had ridden their bikes across and I asked them to fill out a questionnaire about their experience. The questions I asked were the Frequently Asked Questions that most transcontinental riders get along the way. Even though these answers were given 30 years ago, I think they are still valid and useful today."

The goal of VeloBase.com is to provide a comprehensive database of vintage cycling knowledge for reference during everything from restorations to general maintenance to researching the cycling history through the equipment of the time.

"From his offbeat stunts ... to his anything-goes demeanor ... Floyd Landis is the anti-Lance in every way but one: He'll stop at nothing in his quest to finish the Tour de France wearing the yellow jersey."
