Take the average commuter that lives 20 miles from work. To make an 8-4 work schedule that commuter will have to get up at 4:00 to begin riding at 5:00 to arrive at work by 8:00. What? The Tour de France averages 25 mph. Why can't we all do that? They also in a huge pack, much easied to ride 25 in the middle of a pack.

I tried first the sportier seats but it was a pain in the ass, then the comfort that wouldn't let me pedal, and finally the Easy Seat, which solved the problem. A bit of sliding forward but I stop it by keeping my hands firmly on the grip or bar ends. |

the sheep follow the herd

Bill said in rec.autos.driving: My sister lives in a planned community on the outskirts of Phoenix and she has never mentioned even one house having any solar panels or water heating thee. Drive outside of town a bit, where the non-terraformed desert is, and you'll see them all over the place. Desert land is cheap, so people buy 5-acre lots out in the boonies so far that there is no electricity, gas, or city water, so they put up a roof full of solar cells, a couple of giant water tanks to collect rainwater that flows off the roof, and drill a nice deep well. Believe it or not, some of these solar power systems can even run an air conditioner if your house has enough insulation. $30,000 worth of equipment will make you pretty much independent of the power grid AND the city water supply. My sister would love to do it but they already have a crime problem in a walled community. Too many illegals breaking and entering, even in a heavily patrolled retirement community. Great idea, but I would put about a 10,000 volt fence around it and then label it every 5 feet or so, "Danger, this 10,000 volt fence will kill you if you touch it.", but only in English. That way the morning cleanup could find the non English speaking thieves who tried to climb it and steal something. I know, I am so inhumane. Sick of illegals, too. Bill Baka |

Killing threads in Thunderbird (was the sheep follow the troll)
[followups set to r.b.r. and r.a.d. (the group I'm reading this from)]

Please remove rec.bicycles.rides from all of these irrelevant threads (started by PITA trolls, I might add). Unfortunately, cross-posting trolls are a part of usenet. The best thing to do is to kill the thread. Since you apparently post using Thunderbird, you can just press the 'K' key when viewing any message in this thread. This will "kill" the thread. After switching to another group you've subscribed to and switching back to r.b.r, this thread will no longer be visible. HTH. |
