the revolution will come on three wheels

Id hope you have a flag on a stick of some sort to attempt to catch the attention of other vehicle operators. A friend of mine builds recombent bikes, and has had some really close calls because of the lower profile and lower visiblity. He now puts a flag on a bit of graphite tent pole when interacting with motor vehicles. *The is the reason many of the electric powered chair riders do this as well. If you blend in...you wont be seen. Gunner No, this is not a recumbent, just semi-recumbent. High enough to see and be seen. Perhaps you might wish to have somone ride your trike, while you follow in a high profile vehicle such as an SUV, to determine just how visible your ride really is? Try not to run over him/her. It's nicer than I was lead to believe by articles about uprights. Maybe the small difference in the pedals makes the difference. Shrug Gunner "[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group, they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the competing factions of Islamic fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core, and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr |

everybody is armed and dangerous

I am alerting the California authorities to look into the matter. ****ing Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

Tch tch tch Son..I have a CCW permit, which in California is tough to get. Ive had one for 27 yrs so far, renewing it with the State, Local and FBIs approval each two years. So if there were any question about a criminal background, history of mental health, moral terpitude and so forth, that license would be yanked faster than you yank your life partners dick. So Id suggest you not continue your vapid and utterly pathetic buffoonery in such a public forum. It simply shows what an utter retard you are to all and sundry. I can use my CCW as a Statement of Good Citizenship and Good Mental Health, as it were. Id hazard to guess that you can provide no similar document attesting to your sanity, or your ability to stay out of jail. The crux of this matter, and why you got your ****y going on, was because I and others have suggested that you and the rest of your bike riders OBEY THE LAW and understand that the laws of physics dont work in your favor in an encouter between a bicycle and a motor vehicle. Now I realize that you are suffering from Bike RIders Arrogance, a common mental health issue, but your continued rabid babbling, like that of a sun maddened weasel, doesnt prompt the readers to give you any sympathy Edtard...if you persist in not obeying the Motor Vehicle codes and paying attention to the laws of Physics..it will kill you. At this point, I feel absolutly no compassion for your untimely upcoming death , nor to I feel compassion for your next of kin, as they have had plenty of time to either have you committed, or knock the **** out of you and kick some sense into your head. Bad cess to both you and them. Gunner "[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so would result in even less votes than they currently receive.

kind of impractical for cyclists to carry a gun under a lycrashort

ComandanteBanana wrote: I simply quoted that article, but I share his concern. Settling something with a finger or a gun are two different things. The result of the equation above is that people are exposed to a real threat, particularly if they assert their right with a finger. And while few people actually get shot, the rest of the population live in fear. Particularly the cyclists. And we would have to start with changing the laws of the republic... Florida gives you an option to deal with this:http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/weapons/index.html That's the only option left... In the jungle, if everybody got paws and teeth, you better get ready yourself. Only that it's kind of impractical for cyclists to carry a gun under a lycra short. But then you can wear a T-shirt like this... http://www.zazzle.com/donquijote1954...83217745636359 |
