Mike Ervin

Mike Ervin says he has written for New Mobility since before water was invented. His writing has been published in everything from the New York Times to The Progressive to Jobber and Warehouse Executive magazine. Mike has also been active in ADAPT for decades and boasts of being arrested about 20 times, which no doubt has something to do with his pen name: Smart Ass Cripple (read his blog at smartasscripple.blogspot.com.) Smart Ass Cripple’s Little Red Book, which has a blue cover, and Smart Ass Cripple’s Little Yellow Book, which has a red cover, are available at lulu.com.
