...those of us who remember him as Willis. Van Winkle (apparently forced to use his old moniker Vanilla Ice under protest for this bout) was identified as an accomplished athlete in terms of motorcross. Van Winkle went three rounds, but must have eventually wished he had a getaway bike, as Bridges whomped his way to a easy win on points...
...idea sounded workable. But learning to maneuver the 8-lb. clunkers wasn't. I feebly pushed myself along bike paths in Central Park, attracting plenty of gawkers--no small feat among seen-it-all-before Manhattanites. But I could barely move.

But Byrnes and 1998 Harvard Law School (HLS) graduate Jamie W. Marquart were not completely unoccupied during...
While the two authors seem to possess little rationale for becoming lawyers (Byrnes’ dream is to open a bike messenger company), they do know why they wrote this book. “We had to avoid being big, fat, drunk law partners in 20 years,” Byrnes jokes. “We thought about doing a radio show but any jackass can write a book...
