Spouse was very pleased to see the website but wondered about the brakes too. It looked as though they were running on the tyre. We know almost nothing about modern bikes - still using ours from the sixties :-( Mary |

"David Martin" wrote in message ups.com... Look more carefully. It has no brakes. It probably has a fixed gear as well. And if you read the article you will see that it was used on the local cycle track. One would presume it was used as a pacer for certain types of racing (motorcycles being unknown in 18xx) Yes, that was The Boulevard, until recently home of Hull RLFC and Hull Viking speedway. Presumably, the track went around the rugby pitch. In my youth it was a cinder track for the speedway races. -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net |

Firstly, I would be hugely obliged to you if you would exercise the common courtesy of leaving the message destinations alone! Quite *why* you feel the need to dictate who reads what, is beyond me! - I can only assume that you are also one of the censorious tree hugging fascists who want to take away my car!! As for the posit itself - perhaps you could explain to me *why* poor starving persecuted Matumbo is now better off in his independent homeland, rather than living under the protection of our former empire? I always try not to personalise Usenet encounters - but I have to say that you are precisely the sort of odious hypocrite that makes me feel like vomiting! The sort of nasty inverted bigot who champions every 'librul' cause - and then steps away with a self-satisfied air, leaving others to endure the misery you have helped create. It is *you* who are the 'racist! - you appear happy to see Africans buried alive by blood stained tribal butchers like Mugabe, torn to shreds by evil demon possessed savages like Amin, hacked limb from limb, as in Rwanda, starved, mutilated, slaughtered in their hundreds of thousands by every bone-pierced despot who rises from the slime of the African cesspool - as long as (horror of unspeakable horrors) they don't have to endure the indignity of being a colonial subject! **** on you - and all those like you, The blood of millions remains on your well scrubbed hands. |

I wonder what that quint was like with two wheeled 1950's braking on steel rims downhill? Prolly a good job Hull is flat! They'd never shift them in Hull these days - not without a periscope |
