Yawn, some people just don't have a SOH, do they?

Sorry to hear that - I hope you make a good recovery. And definitely no falling off the bike,
please :-(

I imagine your doc is slightly more careful in your dosage than they are in using it on rats... (or
I certainly hope so anyway).

The one I used is a two-wheel Bluebird trailer. The standard trailer is a base to which you can add
different top sections. We have the side bars, but there are also child or dog trailer options
available.

I generally use a Bob Coz for the shopping, but I thought the Bluebird would be more stable for
transporting the cat.

<g> I doubt any cat would stay voluntarily in the trailer. And as for strapping one in a harness,
you probably would need those accessories.....The dogs I've seen riding in trailers seem to be
enjoying themselves, as far as I can tell.

Both child seats on the same bike? How did that fit? One on the rack and one on the crossbar?

4.5Mg a day! That's 4.5 million grams or 4.5 tonnes. How do you swallow that much? Or did you
mean 4.5mg ;-)

Sorry, John, but now you're just being ridiculous. It's /impossible/ to take children to school on a
bicycle or cycle in normal clothes. And in the rain. And try carrying shopping on one. Next you'll
be telling us that bicycles are a perfectly valid form of transport! Tch!

I think everybody's taken too many Grumpy Pills this week.

Possibly including me, as I've been a little sharper than usual in some of my replies.

Never mind, I shall take my trike out again tomorrow and bore you all rigid with my opinion of the
new "ergonomic" seat it's just been fitted with. So there.

Oops, just read that with my scientist hat on where M == mega and m ==
milli.

4.5 tons of warfarin per day. You do have a rat problem.

The fact that some people have a different sense of humour than you do doesn't mean they have none.

I've seen very little evidence of a SOH of any sort in your postings, but I may simply not be
reading them as you intended. Perhaps you're doing the same to mine.

Or perhaps you're just feeling grumpy today. (If so, you'd better make sure the other six don't get
jealous...)

The weather round here certainly has. One of those days where real daylight has just never really
happened. Hey ho, it gives me a chance to do a darkness and rain combined test of the Big 8. Deep
joy... ;-/

But back to animal portage, I note that the upcoming issue of VeloVision (due in a couple of days)
has a cover picture and feature article on transporting dogs by bike. I imagine some of it may be
applicable to cats to a degree.
