Pavement is no fun.

It takes skill as well as a strong faith, Giorgio!

Ha ha, what? Holy Water something associated
with the Catholic Church?

I'll take those. What I don't like is fast roads without any shoulder.
Yesterday on the way to the singletrack a delivery van almost
side-swiped my at 50mph.

Let me guess: You were riding right on the edge of the road, right?

The Buddhists also use Holy Water, generally for the same purposes as
the Catholic Church - sprinkling things - so you have a choice :-)

There's a whole lot of faith in God being exhibited in that video.

OK, I didn't get there was a video refered to
so I thought "Mr Berg" was me! Well, at least
now I understand why I didn't
understand anything...

Anyone feeling inspired to do anything similar with an old folding bike,
please first inspect the entire bike very carefully. (Especially for unholy
water effects inside a chrome-plated handlebar.)

There's a whole lot of faith in God being exhibited in that video.

Even worse, a new, bolshie-atheist affordable 1s Graziella will at best
contain traces of immortable Togliattian "steel" molecules.

You asked about Zéfal clean/lube products recently but that
guy on the Graziella seems to have something supernatural
going on.

No, not at that spot because I don't consider passing in the lane safe
there. I guess the guy didn't want to wait until there was a chance to
pull far enough across the double-yellow. So he moved over only a tad
because of oncoming traffic and "squeezed through". As usual.

Anyhow, I wrote to the company the van was from. They wrote back that
they'd do something about it. Let's see.

Crazy. I wonder if the diocese docked him for the cost of the cap that
flew off mid-ride :-)
