Yes, but only if you buy the bike stretcher (sold separately). My
bike stretcher is made by GMC and is powered by an 8 cylinder
internal combustion engine...just tie the head tube to the bike
stretcher, tie the rear triangle to a tree, and stretch!

So much for the vaunted angled brackets! I was grossly
deceived about their power to contain even the longest url.

Standard practice uses more than just angle brackets. It also includes
"url:" prefixed to the actual URI, and harks back to a time when there
may have actually been a need to explain that something like
http://www.yahoo.com was a URL and not, well, something else. So:

url:http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=20c7afc9.0310070217.14e5a004%40posting .google.com&output=gplain

may be what you meant to do.

My medical advice regarding my own ganglion cysts was simply to leave
them alone unless they were in a particularly bothersome location, in
which case they could easily be corrected through a surgical office
procedure. I had the one at my right distal thumb joint treated because
it made writing difficult, and I'm about to have the one on my forearm
treated for the 21st century version of the same reason, but the one
near my elbow and the one in my lower back just aren't much of a problem
and will remain as they are.

This year I moved away from anatomical bars for aesthetic

IME "anatomical" bars were far less anatomically appropriate for me,
and were uncomfortable and fugly to boot.

Anyone else had this problem, and did it lead to a change of
*cycling habits*? (It used to be thought that these things could be
cured by hitting them with a bible. Maybe I need to consult a nun
who rides.)

Any large book will do, it just ruptures the cyst and disperses the
fluid therein. A Bible was usually the largest, heaviest book around
the house.

No real treatment for it and unfortunately the cyst interferes with the
motion of my thumb and impinges on nerves, and so I think riding will just
makes it worse.

they can be treated with a good wack. or the doc can tear it with a needle and
drain it. I had a big one on the side of my foot. it got worse for weeks after
the treatment then went away.

From experience choose a book with a flexible cover and it is challenging
doing it yourself!
The one on my wrist came back and it was time for volume two. Luckily, there
was no third time.

I tried this, boy did that hurt (and it didn't work).

I developed one of these a while back after a particularly exuberant day of
jumping waves on a jetski among other things. Mine is on the top of my right
wrist (palm facing down) just to the left of center. Basically several people
told me to see a doctor - but - they'd had the same problem and whacked it with
a book. Internet research said that it is the result of fluid buildup in a
sheath and it can be drained or removed surgically.
Oddly enough, mine started to subside one day after massaging the forearm
muscle near my elbow. It gets a little bigger occasionally so I tap it against
the edge of my desktop. It's a little more controllable than trusting someone's
book aiming prowess.
Now I understand why everyone told me to see a doctor after not doing so
themselves.
