In our area of the Ozarks none of this would work because most of our roads are two lane and, except for the main roads, they are unpaved. We have several people that have changed to driving motor cycles and higher powered motor scooters. Most of the people in this area have to drive 4 wheel drives because of the dirt roads and they know how to drive 55 mph on the winding roads so anything that is underpowered, like a bicycle, would be risking their lives.

My sister lives in Norway - and maybe that explains why I haven't heard of any other companies doing it. Maybe US companies are concerned with just such a lawsuit! Now who can I sue because the US has developed such a litigious reputation?

If the community had bike lanes and/or trails that were JUST for bikes, it would be safer --> unless of course one of the bike riders runs over an innocent pedestrian .... I'm probably just FAR too cynical :-( Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage > Better by Design! ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
