There is an eccentric black gentleman who rides around the city of Lubbock on his modified bicycle. The bike has no seat; but rather has the pedals there where the seat should be. This sounds awkward you say? Yes it kind of is.

Another thing I have seen is that periodically he will wear a black cape, I have been told that he is the unofficial mascot of Texas Tech, who knows.

Because his pedals are where the seat goes it requires him to perch up high, it can't be comfortable but you always see him in this fashion. In fact many people have seen him, just about every one has some story about meeting him or a friend meeting him. But I never could find out his name.

Well yesterday night I met him for the first time. He was riding in front of Varsity bookstore and he asked for some change, I was sad to inform him that I had none but I promised him I would give him twice as much next time. Well he turned and started to ride away but I called after him to ask his name.

He told me his name was Cornelius
