    No, it's the use of nonstandard characters in the URL causing the
    problem. Try this: http://tinyurl.com/8mwkg

    Yup, shouldda seen that--usually url's get borked because of overzealous
    line-wrapping.

    Seen the link before--pretty neat stuff!

    I wonder how many countries round the world still use bikes in the armed
    services? I saw a pic of a Swiss military bike from perhaps five years ago
    and it was magnificent! The rear carrier modified to carry two standard
    jerry cans was pretty interesting.

    Seems it would still be a valuable tool for some missions--especially for
    paratroopers. Fairly quiet, no fuel needed, light and cheap.
