NAC: Ride of Silence tomorrow (Brett Dikeman)

[tom at tomwintermedia.com]

Anyone who has ridden a bike has probably gone the wrong way down a one
way street, or run a stop sign. Or done something else. Like ride on the
sidewalk (oh, the horror, the horror!)

OK, maybe I'm the only one.

But people in vehicles which weigh a LOT and which can crash through
buildings and go over 100mph also do really stupid things.

Bikes are fun. Go ride one and remember why you loved them as a kid and
why they are so cool still: cruiser, mtb or road. . .they're all good,
simple and cheap to work on and riding them is great for mind, body and
soul (Lee, chime in here, as you get it for sure)

The reality is that people do dumb things all the time. Not just in cars,
not just while riding bikes. But people driving cars kill a lot more
people than those driving bikes.

My vote is with Brett on this one, hopefully you've made a full recovery.

Besides, the avant just got the ski box taken off and the bike racks put on.

Fact/Audi content: Did you know you can score used crossbars (yak or
thule) for cheap and use basic stuff from the hardware store to bolt them
on? Add a few used bike attachments from Craig's List and you are in
business! Contact me off list if you need "help" figuring it out.

When you see a biker, slow down, give 'em some space and go on your merry
way.

garage and happy to share the road with everyone who loves wheels, four or
two or even the guy on the unicycle)
