Hello,


My town, Grand Chute, just installed a roundabout. I'm definitely
going to check it out this spring.


I'm a recumbent tricyclist, so I sit closer to the ground than an
average cyclist.


Have any of you fellow recumbent cyclists been on such a thing?


It seems, to me, to just be a gloried intersection with yield signs.
Is there anything special I should look out for?


Thanks,
Cullen


You have to watch out for the usual things...cars aimed by mostly careless
oafs, busses, trucks, obnoxious lycra clad racer boys, dogs tall enough to
pee in your lap, or eat your face, junk in the road...like I said, the
usual
stuff.

Gotbent,

I'm curious. What makes "obnoxious lycra clad racer boys" so
obnoxious?

I hope my question doesn't start a war. I'm just curious.

VELOve,
Cullen

quoting not working
I don't know what makes them obnoxious. *Some racer boys aren't obnoxious.
Just look out for the obnoxius ones.

Great reply, GB (is it alright if I vou call you that?). I'm happy to
see that you're not in INTENTIONALLY lumping "Obnoxious", "Lycra-
clad" , and "Racer Boys".!

I'd probably be "Lycra-clad" "Racer boy", If I still had the ability
to ride a bicycle. I might even be "obnoxious" too!

Regards,
