I built my first wheel riding in a VW van during the long
drive to the airport for our first overseas bike tour. I
used the inverted bike frame as the truing stand.

I built my first wheel in a Brooklyn park[1] over many hours

It fell apart riding to work Monday morning. I walked the
last mile or so.

I built my first wheel while living in a rolled-up newspaper, eating gravel in a snow storm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue7w...ullMontyPython
