I was in a shop, in fact one that sold bikes like the one in the
suit, and was quite let down by his testimony at the time. I just
don't think one of the most important American cyclist's of late
70s-early 80s should be written off the way he has been. I can think
of only a few Americans who helped bring cycling to the masses
before Greg, but John is one of them. I remember all the complaining
about his testimony and was pissed off myself, but I just don't see
the lasting damage to the bicycle industry that the industry claimed
would happen.
