The New Yorker article on Grant Petersen and Rivendell

[MikeD]

There's an old podcast where Sheldon Brown interviewed Grant at an Interbike show. The discussion they had about carbon bikes being "plastic" bikes was funny. I think it's still available on the Sheldonbrown.com website.

I think Grant is a bit too much a retrogrouch, but don't like the direction bikes are going these days, taking away simplicity and repairability from the user, and upping the cost.
