Atala Pista track bicycle (c.1960-Italy-#7602448)
Steve, aka "Pops." In his everlasting search for purity in cycle sport,
whilst racing in Puma's Messenger Challenge, at Kissena Velodrome,
There was a Critical Mass: Five cyclists came together in a crash.
Steve is OK. Even after a hospital visit, he arrived home only an hour late.
Both sides, top and bottom, had track rash. A crank rode over his ribs.
He showed-up at NYC MTA Central next morning, and took a week off hard riding.
