Long before the mountain bike entered our global consciousness, the cycling enthusiasts of Northern California's Marin County rode modified pre-WWII bicycles down the slopes of Mount Tamalpais.

Their early bikes were scavenged from dumpsters and junkyards.

These hefty steeds were affectionately known as Klunkerz.
