Having committed the multiple sins of communicating with a
certain arbm character (& his favourite sock puppet,)
arguing with a certain bike lights "expert", and realizing
that I not only understand what Datakoll says, but also
agree with it, and probably dissing a lot of people who
drive cars, I figure it's time to bow out. Maybe make
an effort to regain some level of sanity in the meantime.
Or not.
Talking about stuff like riding bike just unnecessarily
complicates it. Ya get on the bike and go -- what's so
hard about that, that it needs to be discussed to death?

All the real problems of cycling have been adressed,
and solutions proffered. There's really nothing left
to say, except to express opinions about people who
ride fixies/recumbents/antiques, and uttering the
word: "poser." And all that's in the archives. The
rest is comiseration about how "hard" it can sometimes
be to ride amongst motorized traffic or in inclement
weather, and lashing-out in the drivers' crossposts.
If anyone has probs making Sora work with DuraAce, there's
rbt to take care of that.

That'd be wonderful. Expect to gain a little extra
(temporary) weight. Especially when we hit the Greek
section of West Broadway, where you can buy olives by
the barrelful.
Those plastic barrels are great for storing flour in, BTW.
They also make good outboard pontoons for your sea-going kayak.
Some designer knew what he/she was doing.
cheers, & I'm not even Greek (as far as I know,)
