Now things were really starting to come together. At the Goodwill store I found a perfect little blue bag for two dollars and I knew what to do with it, I made it into a handlebar bag. I did have the proper freewheel puller in my tool kit to remove the freewheel, but I didnt have a bench vise for leverage. I did, however, have a big wrench and the seatmast from my Bike Friday Pakit that worked great as a cheater bar.
The same doctor who’d told me I’d be fine still said I was fine. I’d told the doc about the fever and running off into the woods, but I left out the part about the blood and the deer. You are probably wondering how I tracked you down, where all this blood came from, and why there’s a severed deer head here instead of the bike you stole.
Once I got the bloodlust out of my system, I turned my attention to the problem of recovering my bike. So it really hasn’t changed my life that much. Once a month, just as it’s getting dark, I hop on my bike and head for the hills.

About a Kickstarter project for a biomotion taillight. Basically, studies have shown that if you highlight the motion of a cyclist’s leg motion, drivers identify the object ahead of them and register it as human faster than if they are just seeing a conventional bike taillight. This makes sense to me, and for years companies have made pedal reflectors and reflective ankle bands with this idea in mind. The new element is active illumination of the cyclist’s legs.
It took me all damn day to find my clothes and find my way back home. I woke up naked, covered kent bicycles in blood and next to a dead deer. Physically, I felt fine, better than I’ve felt in years.

The company built both road and mountain bike frames in steel and titanium and were the early builders of Greg LeMond road and mountain titanium frames, before LeMond production went to Litespeed and later Trek Bicycle Corporation. The company employed master-welders Ivo Vinklarek and Don Herr, however welding on later frames was outsourced with some quality problems which contributed to the demise of the brand.

You know, most of our workers were already employed, but in really rough jobs. A lot of people came from a chicken processing plant twenty miles away—48 degrees inside, brutal smells, plucking and processing chickens.” “We do business with most of the majors, but Walmart sells half the bikes sold in this country, Kamler explains.

Kent tried reducing costs by 1% per year, but costs in China were dropping by 5% per year. “The prices there were just so low it made no economic sense to continue, so in 1991 we stopped production, sold off the equipment, shut the doors,” Kamler recalls. “We were never, ever going to manufacture again in the U.S. That was 23 years ago, our very final decision.”
And then along came… Walmart. But a major difference between Kent’s and Honda’s U.S. starting points is volume.
