[*BCM*] writing a bike story, looking for voices

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

I should note for the record that I'm not listed as a leader on the 
website. I'm a contact person for the mailing list and also have an old 
essay I wrote posted on the website.

(Speaking of the website -- it could use a drastic overhaul. I'll 
reiterate my open invitation for anyone interested to take over its 
maintenance.)
