The BEHEMOTH project spanned 3.5 years, about two of which were in prime facilities donated by Sun Microsystems. During that time I lived in Building 4, immersed full-time in the project… aided by an astounding volunteer crew of engineers and fellow geeks from all over Silicon Valley. The relationship with my host company was interesting;…

This is the echo of an interesting visit with friends during the crazy-intense BEHEMOTH media tour of 1992… York Computes into Nomad’s Bike Tour by Peter Krouse York Daily Record May 28, 1992 Steve Roberts didn’t care for classroom studies while growing up in Louisville, Ky. But he loved science fair projects — like the acoustic…

This was a delightful interview, and I wish I had taken a photo of Noah sitting on BEHEMOTH, holding a tape recorder and chatting with me. I had come to Washington DC to exhibit at Interop Spring (photo with Vint Cerf), and somehow ended up visiting NPR. Noah was so relaxed that my own nervousness…

There was quite a flurry of media coverage about BEHEMOTH in 1992. This short piece sounds like the name of a sandwich and is very lightweight, but I was delighted to have my one appearance in People be in the special issue about Johnny Carson: People Magazine May 25, 1992 Reno, Nevada Photo by John…

This rather flip, quirky, tabloid-like piece from the UK scored a prime spot in my collection of newspaper articles for two reasons: the title (epic win!) and the head shot… which actually caught me with a playful expression rather than the usual focused countenance of intense technomadic concentration that often seemed to emerge when I…

BEHEMOTH weighs about 580 pounds fully loaded and needs 105 gears and sidewheels to climb a hill. This delightful article in my old hometown newspaper came out during the peak of the BEHEMOTH epoch… I was no longer pedaling around the US, but the speaking/media tour via mothership was in full swing. The author, Ric…

My favorite part of this is the cover photo, which was done during a shoot at Icom. The article itself is reprinted from the Wall Street Journal piece about a month earlier, with an added insert about the bike tech. by Paul B. Carroll reprinted from The Wall Street Journal April 21, 1992 American Bicyclist and Motorcyclist…

It was bizarre to revisit Columbus, the city that inspired my long-distance travel, after over 8 years of adventure. The four years that I had spent as a homeowner in the suburb of Dublin were but a distant featureless blur in my memory… dotted by moments of love and technopassion, to be sure, but somehow…

This was a pivotal piece in the epoch of BEHEMOTH, being on the front-page of The Wall Street Journal. The pace of media coverage accelerated by an order of magnitude almost immediately, including a full hour on the Phil Donahue Show (apparently he read this article, tossed it on his producer’s desk, and said, “get this…

This was a time of nearly overwhelming publicity, with BEHEMOTH getting splashed all over mainstream media ranging from the Phil Donahue Show to the Wall Street Journal. I had a friend in Reno who arranged for a presentation at UNR, and the next day I did a photo shoot for People Magazine. It was all…
