Certainly, Andy's is the definitive history, but new chapters are still being added. For instance, Friar Gugie has been known to mount the tightest fitting tires on the most troublesome rims (looking at you Weinmann concave) in mere seconds with only his thumbs. On a recent excursion up the dark road to the mountain called Larch, this saintly skill was demonstrated as a rider from the Bend which is called North flatted by the side of the ox path. Gugie's miracle (under review by clergy) was accomplished as a circle of experienced Friars looked on--Friars who had previously failed to mount the said tire, even using an excellent tool from the Brothers Crank. Take my account of this miracle as that of a humble and sometimes monastic randonneur, bicycle tourist, and frequenter of the ale house.
