Thanks.
I've been following (and commenting on) his blog since it was barely a month old, and readerships was still in the dozens, instead of the thousands.
I actually wrote the article on used bikes that he linked to specifically at the request of another reader in the comment section - hence its focus specifically on getting a good value on a used bike meant specifically for commuting.

Back then, when almost no one had heard of him, he actually seemed a bit impressed with my very internet notoriety, from my instructables posts and the video of my house, but now I am shamelessly riding his coattails

So the other day we both returned home at the same time again, only now the weather is warm, sunny, with no wind. And I yell to him: You took the car? In this weather?!?
