Re: [RBW] that "nice bike" comment
I'm in Oakland, CA, but was surprised when we took my wife's bike out for her inaugural ride, we went to a bike path by our house, and there was a couple walking on the path, and when we passed, the guy said, "Nice Betty." I didn't expect that from a pedestrian. Toshi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] that "nice bike" comment
So we're toodling down our local bike path this afternoon when a guy on a side path, waiting for us to pass, comments "nice bikes" so of course I thank him. Moments later he cruises by with the comment "I've got one of those at home". He's riding a nice lugged steel bike with an Acorn saddlebag but passes so quickly I can't read the name. Speeding up I eventually catch him to ask about the comment. "Oh, I have an Atlantis and also a Hilsen." Turns out he's riding a Woodrup (???) or something close, an English bike sporting bolt on cable housing clamps, etc. He's aware of our SoCal Riv Riders Appreciation Society & now that he knows we're for real may join us in the future. My wife was amazed: "You mean he recognized our bikes as we rode by?" It's like bird watching: if you know what you're looking at, it's easy to spot them. dougP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
