i have always thought that our comrade roy had a gift for sensing the gestalt that's out there.  that why when he sent me this message with a time date stamp of midnight on friday:

It's amazing what a motivated person can do starting at about 10:30 p.m (the slowest steps were stripping off the derailleurs and bar-end shifters and messing around with the camera).  I'm off into the night to try it out - cross your fingers that I don't slay myself.

and this photo:

i pretty much anticipated that something like this article would arrive before too long.  roy clearly has a gift like the seers of old.  people ask me to describe it from time to time.  our whole movement is, to a large extent, surfing the currents of popular opinions and beliefs, and be sure to check the featured article on wikipedia this morning for verification of my claim.  roy just seems to be a step ahead of the rest of us.  - - - posted by scott
