Frank "Temperance" Krygowski declares open season for motorists oncyclists who take a drink

not doped and not wearing helmets?

If I were to try holding up Gene Daniels as the apex of the bell curve, I can think before I blink again of six, no seven, professional bodies that will withdraw my membership before I blink a third time. BTW, hundred buck interconnects are made of mud. Nothing less than the Real McCoy Triplex Single-Ended Guaranteed Shield (about three and a half grand for the basic version, more you insists only my own hands are good enough to make your cables, much more if you want the monstrous billet tellurium connectors; that's each, not per pair) works like the Real McCoy etc. They're so popular, I have to listen on plain Cardas 5TC myself. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycleswww.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA BBTW You forgot the really significant question: • Will a top propeller on your helmet protect you against cagers, or should it be at the back of your helmet to work effectively?
