Last night, some of us around DFW that have loosely associated with the Google Group &#8220;Cyclebabble&#8221; got to meet a &#8220;fellow traveler.&#8221; Specifically, we got to meet Bill &#8220;Big Oak.&#8221; Bill is based in Indiana. Yes, that&#8217;s the very same Indiana where Breaking Away was set, though Bill is fortunate enough to have chosen a Specialized Tricross for commuting rather than a Masi.
