I don't think so - but hey, I know SFA about bicycles (as Thylacine will happily confirm) so ignore me.

Joking aside, I'll tell you all a story. The single mother thing (which was over 10 years ago BTW) was a result of the dept of housing conning dumb young single mums on waiting lists for housing to move to Moe and a lesser extent Morwell because they had vacant housing stock down here after the power industry privatisation, with the promise of bumping them up the queue in Melbourne. Of course they knew these young chicks with a couple of rugrats wouldn't be able to afford to move back to town and were too young and silly to work that out. The dept behaved appallingly. They abused the trust of these silly young kids and moved a shitload of social problems into the area. Arseholes.

Sounds a bit like the NSW Central Coast especially around Wyong and Gosford town centres - lots of people moved there by the dept of housing, limited facilities and infrastructure to cope with the massive population increase add the obligatory drug and alcohol and mental health problems and you have a social disaster. We got to cope with the aftermath in the ED - no wonder I gave up clinical medicine.

LOL. Smartarse. I've been out in the yard most of the afternoon pottering around listening to the footy. I just finished and came on line to post that it was about time I changed my sig. Not happy. On current form they won't make the eight.

Hmmmm... it's a beater bike with back-pedal brakes that they're marketting as something to go fast on? I see dead people. Mostly young dead people.

First things first, it's going to be horribly unstable through corners with bullhorns compared to say some nice Cinelli 66's (which is what they should have put on it)

Next up it's going to be impossible to stop in an emergency, but because of the back-pedal brakes you're not going to be able to throw it around to save yourself in the same way that you could if you had a freewheel with only rear calipers. They should have just whacked on some nice calipers front and rear and be done with it.

And where's the pretty basket on the front?

Cheeky bugger! Given that I'm battling a virus, I could very well be a DNS.

Anyway, how would the sweep work? Who would verify when I nod off? Or are you relying on me to be honest?
