Time to eat my words!
Previously, I've expressed a certain skepticism about another RBT
poster's occasional observations about big black SUV's. Here's an utterly devastating reply to my mistaken disbelief: http://i1.tinypic.com/505ukc2.jpg Yikes! Such SUV's may be useful somewhere, but a Colorado rancher once told me that trucks with tires like that end up floating downstream instead of getting across the creek. I'm unfamiliar with the ride-single-file bicycle sign. It claims to be an official California Vehicle Code sign, but it may not even be real: "The real signs always list the CVC number of the cited code." The tall yellow bicycle frame and matching pump, plus the down-tube shifters, should make it clear who sent me the picture, which was "taken last week on Cliff drive a bit north of Capitola CA (Santa Cruz)." But in case the photographer's identity is stil unclear, the subject line of the email with the picture was "Drive truck!" No more squabbling from me about big black SUV's--you can roll a bicycle with a normal-size frame under that thing! Cheers, Carl Fogel |

Heck, if you rode this recumbent: http://www.kingcycle.co.uk/hpvs/Hachi.html you could *ride* under it at 30 mph and never muss your hair. P.S. That 4x4 is a pretty poor example. The wheelwells need to be trimmed so they don't slice the tires at full jounce. Jeff |

Yep, you can spot those 300,000 mi. spokes in any picture! Also, that looks like a 'hot air' pump. ;-) |

An aluminum or carbon fiber top tube and bottom bracket would be totally inadequate for the indicated use as steps up into the truck. |
