back on two wheels
For the past 26 years, the bike and the car have worked in tandem, one
taking me on trips where the other wasn't required. Not any more. The car got well and truly crunched in a classic nose-to-tail yesterday arvo, and I don't like its chances after that. So it's back to the bike for the time being, though my wife would obviously like me to acquire another four wheeled vehicle, but that may take a while. Cheers, Ray |

Insurance claim? Hope you're uninjured. Yes, I do imagine your wife will need a car eventually. All the best. -- Cheers Peter ~~~ ~ _@ ~~ ~ _- \, ~~ (*)/ (*) |

Take the Rhoades Car, http://www.rhoadescar.com/store/nav4w4p.htm it's too wide for a cyclepath but imagine riding it in traffic! |
