If I had not been wearing a h*lm*t, I undoubtedly would have suffered TEMPORARY MINOR DISCOMFORT!!! A law should be passed requiring h*lm*t use when loading bicycles into minivans. -- Tom Sherman - Fox River Valley "Twisting may help if yawl can chew gum and walk." - G. Daniels |

I once tolchocked my gulliver upon a low pipe while walking across a basement car park. Fortunately, I was wearing a MartleHat and was thus unhurt. I have on more than one occasion done similar things in the lower doorways of Dr Larrington's Country Residence, and sustained a lrge bump to the bonce. I am therefore going to lobby my MP to make MartleHats compulsory in car parks and eighteenth century cottages in the Cotswolds. -- Dave Larrington - http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk/ This Unit is a productive Unit. |

I don't know about that but I do know you should always grease the bottom bracket tapers when fitting the cranks ;-) -- Tony "The best way I know of to win an argument is to start by being in the right." - Lord Hailsham |

.com: Be sure to get a Snell approved helmet (B90 is the most commonly available bicycle helmet). The most commonly available helmet in the US is CPSC certified, not Snell, and B95 is the current standard. In most of Europe, Snell certified helmets are all but unobtainable. Here is a list of Snell certified helmets: http://www.smf.org/certlist/std_B-90...90C_B-95C.html Note the lack of any products from the market leader, Bell Sports.
