"Klunkerz" is a dusty tour of the knobby tire lore and Savage did his homework. The history of mountain biking has never been well understood outside the circle of people who were there when it happened...."
Rick Polito

Marin Independent Journal

 "... What promises to make Klunkerz a very special film is the fact that Billy was able to assemble a cast that's chock full of legendary Marin pioneers: Joe Breeze, Gary Fisher, Alan Bonds, Charlie Kelly, Tom Ritchey, Russ Mahon, Bob Burrows, Wende Cragg... It will be very interesting to hear what these folks have to say..."
