Great article. My brother in Monte Rio, CA forwarded it to me, I forwarded it to a small group of cyclists I ride with here in the Sacramento area. My first bike was a jet black three speed J. C. Higgins purchased from Sears by my parents in 1961. Expressly for my first job-paper route delivering the San Bernardino Sun Telegram. Strangely enough, my Rivendell Appaloosa in some ways takes me back to those days on that beloved steel steed.

I wish she had interviewed Hiroshi.  My first new bike that I bought with my own money was a Road Standard from Jitensha --- I think Hiroshi had bought a couple of frames when Grant was starting Riv.  I also saw my first Rivendell catalogs and Riv Readers at Jitensha in the late 90s.

I'm sure this article will sell a few more frames for Riv, which is great!

I thought it was super well written, and the range of people interviewed was stunning. Leah, a random friend, Will, Calling in Sick guy, Yvon Chouinard (no big deal), Grant... But did she interview Hiroshi? :)  

I read this basically in realtime in a group chat, which made it even better, and then I passed it on to a friend who loved it and passed it to his wife who loved it... I hope it goes viral beyond our small (but mighty) world.
