My bicycle adventures took place in 3 distinct phases:

  1. 10,000 solo miles aboard the sleek Winnebiko (leading to the Computing Across America book)
  2. 6,000 romantic miles with Maggie on the very geeky Winnebiko II (shown below)
  3. 1,000 languid miles with the lumbering $1.2 million BEHEMOTH (now in the Computer History Museum)

There is a quick comparison of specifications, as well as a spirited retrospective of the whole era with photos.
