Val's Dreadnought RULES! It's a meat-powered battleship for the ages.
ReplyDeleteThe dreadnought was one of the inspirations when I built my bike SuperVato. Val kicks ass: he's one of the unsung heroes of the utility bicycling movement in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteIt rocks :) :)
ReplyDeleteAmen, Nollij -- Val was (and continues to be) an inspiration in utility bicycling, and he's a regular fount of knowledge.
ReplyDeleteWhat GhostRider says -- inspirational!
