Amen! Clearly I post too much. I'm stepping off watch soon and the Patrick 
of the Moore will be taking over for your hourly posting needs.

I agree! It's the best! Part of my daily news reads-well a few times a day. 
Plus the Patricks. Keep the hourly postings going-after all someone has to do 
it. Might as well be the Patrick's-always interested in the great pics or 
strange gearing I made this work french trike w 650c or a or something wheels! 
This group is by far the best.

 A humbling example of unanimity. Sometimes just reading, others writing. A 
great group amongst whom to realize one's weirdness about bikes and 
perspectives on life have been tempered by the very individual experiences 
shared by others.

Right on.  In my last two notes I got really good advice on dealing with 
synergy rims and bike carriers that can deal with fenders, albas & mixed 
frames.  I'm very appreciative to everyone.

Oh yea, and teaching my grandson to ride.  I sprang for a new bike that 
fits him, has smooth tires, and pedals smoothly.  All of a sudden he's in 
love with his bike instead of the tag along.  I also convinced his mom only 
to use the training wheels until he had mastered pedaling, watching where 
he was going and steering.  I'm guessing a couple of weeks.  Thanks to all 
who helped me with that.
