Proper ABS on a bike would be superb for cyclists who hold
conversations while they ride, rather than fight the controls every
moment.

What does that even mean? I don't know anyone who "fights the
controls every moment" -- or fights them at all. Why would people
need panic-stop traction control at talking speeds? I believe you
are referring to a group of riders who have happily lived with
coaster brakes since time immemorial.

Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a
cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt
utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

Damn right, Tosspot! And I hope you took up a big collection for your wisdom. -- AJ
