Thought I would say "hi". I am new to this forum and finding it extremely enlightening (replacing my marinoni this year - thread in touring forum). Most of my riding has been commutor style, distances of 40 to 70 km a day. I have also enjoyed some single track and off road cycling, though my mtn bike sits idle of late. My partner and I are getting very serious about long tours ( She cycled across Canada in 2003 - my turn is coming before I turn 50 - 4 yrs, 2 mo, and tick, tick, ticking down on me) and we are planning a 2 mo. trip to see New Zealand in Feb/Mar. 06 (see thread in Aussi forum)
PS: One thing I have noticed here in Victoria, (British Columbia, Canada) is that drivers seem to be more aggressive this year towards cyclists. It has me thinking that a seperate forum where we could post license plate, vehicle and incident descriptions (just the facts, not the *#@$&*#&$*& responses) may help us as cyclists locate and pursue through the authorities the repeat offenders (a quick search of the plate # on the forum) that otherwise are being "brushed off" as close calls. What are the legal implications? It may be a long shot, but we have a couple of court cases going on here that would have better to have been prevented.
