Visibility Enhancement
Please view www.gloglov.com. I have no confirmed data to prove these
visibility enhncements do what is purported. They are cheap considering the advantage one may gain and easily incorporated in cycling attire. I believe that when I signal a turn in traffic, my hand will more realiably be seen. It seems obvious that a bear hand or one covered with a glove will not be as visible as when wearing this product. Other than being a customer, I have no connection with this product or company. Jim |

They are just reflective tape sewn onto gloves - and lots of photography
tricks and hype: "Visible up to 4 miles away with night vision goggles" I can se you take a puff off a cigarette 4 miles away with NVGs. "Jim" wrote in message om... Please view www.gloglov.com.

: I considered modifying one of my own pairs of gloves, and then realized : that if they don't see the 18 blinking red LEDs on my taillight, they won't : see my glowing hand.

Soccer moms always drive SUVs. And they're always a big SUV's. And you forgot the cell phone part. Soccer moms always talk on cell phones while they drive. This is true. Just ask anybody. Cycling would be safe again if we could get a law passed to make kid's soccer illegal. Start a petition in your neighborhood. Do your part. Let's get the soccer mom off the road and back in the kitchen where she belongs. skip |

Sorry, Skip, but you make the premise that if there were no more soccer,
Moms would stop talking... take it from me, that just isn't true... they would talk even more decrying the demise of soccer and how their kids are now mentally malnourished.. And, who on the school board or who at the town hall they should call to get soccer back. I am of the opinion that most of those conversations while driving are of the "yup, I'm almost at your house now, just getting ready to pull into your driveway type".... and "when I get there, we can have a nice chat"... Women just seem to have a 'need-to-talk' gene.... guys seem to have a 'need-to-watch-football' gene. .. Arne, USA .. .. "skip" wrote in message ...

Oh I know there's great truth to what you say Arne, but from reading ARBR it is clear that it's the soccer moms who are the real troublemakers. Oh sure, every now and again there is a little old blue haired lady down in Florida who can barely see over the steering wheel of her 80's Cadillac or one of them mullet haired trailer trash beer drinkin wife beatin 'necks in a Texas pickup who will run a cyclist or two off the road here and there. But all of us here at ARBR know soccer moms are the real menace and we simply must join together to ban kid's soccer and get these women off the road. Don't you agree? skip |

Here is the scene:
I'm driving down a state route 2 lane road. speed limit 45 mph. Guy in a miata pulls out in front of me and does not accelerate, but goes about 10 miles per hour. I get on his rear bumper by virtue of my speed and thinking he is going to accelerate (bad assumption on my part). I blow horn and yell at him. He leans over to look in his side view mirror... I can see he is talking on cell phone.... Police car goes by in other direction....... Miata pulls off to side and into convenient driveway. Fast forward 2 minutes: Police car did a 180, and pulls me over a couple of miles down the road. As he is explaining to me talking on a cell phone is legal and the fellow was probably just calling for directions and pulled into driveway of a friend...... the Miata goes by.. I get a verbal warning. The a$$hole in the Miata dupes the cop and goes merrily on his way.... So, the only thing I have against soccer in our growing community is all the community fields are marked off with lime, the parents are saying we need more fields "WE HAVE TO DO IT FOR THE KIDS!!" How sick of that one I am... So, it's the phones, not the soccer........ my feeling is, if someone is caught talking on a cell phone while driving, they are stopped and it is destroyed on the spot, with a federally approved cell phone destruction device (i.e., a hammer).... that would cut down on a lot of problems....... Today, no kidding, a guy was weaving down the interstate.... why? He was reading.......... .. Arne, USA .. .. "skip" wrote in message ...

Here's my favorite. My commute home from work used to have me turning right onto a busy two lane+ left turn lane road where it intersects with the main drag. At end-of-day rush the heavy traffic is going the opposite direction i am. I then turn left about 100 yards down, onto a side street that passes right by my block. This street terminates here, doesn't continue on the other side. Traffic frequently backs up illegally across this intersection under the perception that nobody needs to go down that road, or something. So, I'm driving home one day, hang a right, pull into the left turn lane, and, meet a soccer mom in her Escalade nose to nose in the left turn lane. She's crossing the intersection /in the left turn lane/. I sat there and stared at her for a good 10 minutes or so before she figured out that i wasn't going to get out of my lane so that she could illegally proceed through it. It was a while before anybody let her back into her lane. Sure, I was inconvenienced, but I'm way more patient than the average soccer mom, and was more amused than annoyed. She was visibly enraged and perplexed. How dare i block the path of royalty with my meager VW? A month later the city finally installed a large island on this intersection, protecting the west-south left turn lane. There were many skid marks from truck tires across the top of it shortly. Today, no kidding, a guy was weaving down the interstate.... why? He was reading.......... Cops say that happens all the time. People try to deny it when they get pulled over but the corners of the newspaper curled over the steering wheel is a dead giveaway. Don't even ask what some bored truckers do to pass the time. |
