Bite the hand that feeds you and sooner or later you end up in the pound and get euthanized old dog. I've been following your bicycle pub crawl since Sioux Falls and guess what? Not one of the papers that you thought you'd get an interview in did so. They obviously researched your internet archives and found out that your mission is less than honorable. I feel sorry for the Maupins. They should not have someone such as yourself using their sons name as a reason to panhandle his way around the country. I also feel sorry for those fools who give a hand out to you, only to have that hand bitten once you turn on a computer. To call you the Schwinn Hobo is almost a disgrace to the bike itself. Maybe you could be the Huffy Hobo or the Huffy Hustler? Nah, Schwinn Hobo has a better ring to it. Peddle on. Please keep riding away. Sorry Philander and what's that about the guy looking like Wigger Thomas? Delusions of Grandeur!?!
hey Ben,
how did you go from a schwinn to a specialized?
I don't see any mention in your blog you switched horses?
