It's better to look like a biker...than
Well I went out and priced some trail bikes and talked over getting fitted and stuff. I almost popped for a $1200 Trek that was on sale, but need to do more research. Yeah, that's the ticket. Instead, I got the catalogue and got a nice bike T, and shopped around for bike shorts. At least now I look like a biker. From a distance. ;-p I feel ashamed for waffling. Fernando would be proud, though. -B -- Email Replies to johnsonnospm01j att ntelos dott net |

At least you did things in the right order, from a Systems Analysis angle: get the software that does what you need; then get the hardware to support the software. I feel better, especially since I had a killer ride in my jersey with the little swoosh emblem and a small nalgene bottle in the rear pockets. I was wearing a ratty cotton tank top, under a raincoat. cutoffs[*] over bike shorts, but the pockets can't contain much, otherwise they hang out and slap against my thighs like filled colostomy bags. Jersey rear pockets are wonderfully convenient You have a way with words...yecch! ;-) and capacious. Wallets aren't as apt to fall out of them as some people think. And you can bend over without having your reading glasses fall out of your shirt pocket. Anyhow, you've made a start, and that's the important thing. Now, how about getting the damn bike :-) I'm entering the anticipatory phase. I believe the FAQ says I should draw this out as long as possible. cheers, Tom [*] nice, soft, non-seamy gabardine ones made from a pair of hospital employee pants that I sorta liberated. That "Vancouver General Hospital" stamp across the butt is haute couture. Tanks fer de encourage-mounte' ;-) -B -- Email Replies to johnsonnospm01j att ntelos dott net |

That's my plan. You can stitch 'em in if you buy your wife a preysant, she might help you with the technical parts: osculating the filament and engaging the auger... -B -- Email Replies to johnsonnospm01j att ntelos dott net |

And I make frequent, worry-wart feel-checks to make sure it's still there. Maybe it has to do with my riding a more upright-positioned MTB. If you're down in the drops, I can see stuff scootin' forward outa the pockets if ya hit the binders hard. cheers, Tom -- -- Powered by FreeBSD Above address is just a spam midden.

Get a grip! Wrap a couple fat rubber bands around your wallet. It won't slip around. bob "H. M. Leary" wrote in message ... In article , "David L. Johnson" wrote: On Wed, 08 Oct 2003 16:47:38 +0000, Tom Keats wrote: I've had my wallet fall out of my jersey twice now. |
