Get a lighter bike, carry a bigger lock. 4a The sum of lighter bike and bigger lock equals weight of original bike/lock. 4b Lighter bike thus equals lighter wallet not reduced riding weight. ergo: Progress/improvement is never in the direction intended. -- Ben Schapiro velobenFLAT@comcast.net (it's flat here but you don't need it to communicate) A good proverb proves nothing |

Re: basic cycle laws #1
the absolute necessity for reaching the destination is directly
proportional to road debris. i had a legal document to get in the mail under time. a twelve mile ride to the word processor. a nice ride. i caught a ups truck downhill and downwind going 35-38 solid on a new calosahatchee river bridge- a roofing nail mit roof washer straight thru the front out the back and point the inner rim. 14 feet of bikeway and i ... with an imploring skyward glance, i said a few words to the self sealing tube, pulled the expletive deleted out... and made the time. didn't even lose air. there's a moral here. get the pig!!!!! |
