in 1983, Steve Roberts packed up a Tandy 100 laptop and a 5-watt solar panel, fleeing suburbia on his recumbent bicycle on what would become a 17000 mile journey that forever cemented his place in the geek pantheon...not just as a technology hacker, but as one of the preeminent "life hackers," pursuing his own dreams on his own terms and inspiring others to do the same. In this recently-unearthed video from 1989, Roberts reflects on the first 16000 miles of his voyage, detailing some of the technology that went into his then-current ride, the Winnebiko II.
