Yes, but even so, an idiot like Henry can wear anyone down. I have been
confronted with a plethora of idiots and scoundrels ever since I began
posting to these cycling newsgroups. A very wise man once told me that 1 out
of every 10 persons walking around on the streets is crazy. I think it is
more like 1 out of every 2 posting to Usenet. It is enough to drive one

I have a sense of humor....the poor chap has got to the stage of
reposting and reposting to get someone to chat with him, so I humor him
occasionally.

Brian of New Zealand, you are talking to a complete idiot (Henry). I ask

Monty Python: Bicycle Repairman!

Monty Python has decided to surrender to the inevitable and start posting
'official' YouTube videos. This is possibly my favorite one yet:

It certainly feeds my own bicycle-repair heroics fantasies. I mean, there
was this one time that I was able to help out a couple of kids fix their

I really do recommend trying cheap knee-high hiking gaiters
like mine. You could possibly find a pair at a surplus store.
They do the trick quite nicely. Mine are black nylon or

What does the word "banana" tell you?
"BANANA? Yes, it appeals to the monkey within us, yearning for the
simple life in the jungle. Well, perhaps it's a symbol of a better
world to come in frugality and peace."
As I was watching '2001: A Space Odyssey,' it perfectly made sense
that the monkeys were first vegetarian (banana eaters) before

Here's a question for YOU!!!! Have you ever stood a watch in the
cold, wet rain? And wondered what the hell you were doing? Then
realizing that it's YOUR freedom that you are standing there for.
Conspiracy theories have been around since the dawn of time. For
every web site, reason, or video that you can supply there are plenty

See, things are not as simple as "roads are good, bike paths/lanes are
bad"...
"Where I live now in Tigard, OR scored a 69, so it is an effort to
walk as most stores are about 1.5 miles away, but it is a pleasure to
bike as there are good paths and bike lanes. For example there's an

The same effect may be achievable by requiring a special license for
SUVs, which after all are "trucks."
Funny, they are trucks to go through the safety loopholes, but not to
require a license.

I'd have to agree, and I'll trot out my personal bete noire. I think
one of the best ways to improve safety (in the U.S.) is to make getting
and keeping a license a *little* harder and a *little* more expensive.
As it is with $25 and a pulse, you can pretty much get a license.
That and retesting *everyone* every five years. If you can't be
