| It was started by DR1 | AndyE
Nov 2, 2001 1:23 PM | | A few years back Dale-Rider1 was a regular poster on this board, some one took a picture of him with his bike over his head( the one closest to the mtbr logo in the home page. He died after cycling. This started as and still is a tribute to someone that truly loved every aspect of the sport. You can read about it and him in the passion archives.

Nov 2, 2001 2:44 PM | | I got a picture from college of me and my friends doing the same back in 1992. From my vauge memory we did it coz
1) we thought it looked cool
2) Did they also do it in the old cycling movie "breaking away"
3) You could see the people better in the picture(not behind the bike) |
