Movie Review: Klunkerz
Last night we followed up on the SuperBowl with a DVD of "Klunkerz." It's a documentary about the (arguably) first mountain bikers in Marin County. What a kick seeing some of those folks as they are today -- well, in 2007, anyway. I remember meeting and interviewing quite a few of them -- Wende Cragg, Joe Breeze, Charlie Kelly, Jacquie Phelan -- for California Bicyclist.
It was a bit of a shock to watch John Findlay Scott pontificating about it all. That interview must have taken place very close in time to his death.
There was plenty of footage from those clunker days back in the '70s, going back to before the "Repack" races. If you've ever had a mountain bike, ridden single track in the Bay Area, or wondered what the big deal was about it all, see this movie. You won't regret it.
