Herb Belrose The products of bicycle building and design are as diverse as the framebuilders at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. In the course of researching an article about the materials that builders use to create frames, I learned many fascinating, esoteric details about carbon fiber filaments, tube manufacturing, epoxies, welding and metallurgy. I then attempted to use my false expertise to interview a select group of framebuilders about their preferred methods and materials for building. 17 a f matter o substance Ira Ryan, photo by T.

Lance has unmatched credibility among cyclists that is enhanced every July. His prominent support of the League and IMBA helps both of our organizations grow and do more for bicycling. Of course Lance isn't the only asset we have. To boost mountain biking and improve trail access, we need to connect effectively with the variety of societal trends and statistics that affirm the value of our sport. By now, most Americans have probably heard about U.S. President Bush's new effort to promote physical fitness and active lifestyles. The president has increased his training reg- imen and is encouraging all Americans to join him. The role of mountain biking in promoting fitness and countering obesity, particularly in children, can't be overestimated. It is one of the powerful societal benefits of our sport. When we describe our programs and our organizations, we need to emphasize this. (And let's not overlook the physical benefits of trailwork, either.) The power of mountain biking in enhancing tourism is important, too.
