  1. I have been following the adventures of Dale E Grind over at the BV forums with much amusement and pleasure. I don't want to spoil the story because it makes lovely reading and should remind those of us who got back on the bike later in life how we felt initially but Dale lost his licence and as a result has joined the seemingly ever growing band of commuting cyclists. Hopefully his tale will melt even the coldest heart. 🙂

  2. It also includes proof that one of us eats ALOT! 😄

    or is it that he eats his gear???

    That's a nice thing to read. I still occasionally get a strange sense of wonder that the world is going past at the rate it is simply because of my own muscle power. And I realy like cool crisp mornings...am I the only one actually looking forward to winter?

    Me too, I hate riding in the heat (anything above 20 degrees). By the
    time I get home at night I'm totally stuffed. But in the Winter that
    Melb cold really makes you feel alive. Besides need to try out my new
    Uno vest 🙂

    Is it because do me reconcile my life that I say perhaps your plans
    could have caused this that you are going through all this that you
    came to me? --emacs doctor to TimC

  7. Think I could become a Dale Fan. Anyone want to suggest he should get a blog?
