I have rewritten that article a while back to update a LOT of information. I'll find it and try to go ahead and update the original thread. I'm glad I can be an inspiration.
Jimmy at The Bike Line regularly tells me he's amazed at what I've done on that little bike. He says he tells people about me all the time too. Just the other day after I told him my mileage for the year and now lifetime miles on the Little Navigator that Could that when people asked him about doing long rides etc on comfort/hybrid bikes that he sold, that they might be able to do things like that. Now he says when he's asked what someone can do on bikes like mine... You can do ANYTHING you want to on that bike, and proceeds to tell them about me
