And what about beer-powered non-electric bicycles? Mine run best on
high-octane IPA, Imperial Stout and Belgians.

IPA is also good for cleaning chains. Stout is also used for lubricating
chains.

I was just wondering about you yesterday and when you might pop in again. Hope all is well with you and the sun shines bright on your Monterey Home.

I would never sacrifice beer for that. Just heard that my new cassette
sits stuck at a Fedex station in Michigan since last week and won't move
until the weekend. So far for Express. My current set is badly finished
but I need to goose it along for another 100mi or so now. All it'll get
for that last hooray is used motor oil, hope it won't start squealing.

No kidding: A guy from Kenya was interviewed as to why he used beer in
the brake system of his VW. He said it's cheaper, that he can't afford
standard brake fluid and that he uses Nigerian beer. "Why Nigerian beer
and not from your own country?" ... "Because it brakes better".

Not Monterey, it's Cameron Park. The weather is nice most of the time
but I ride regardless. I am a bit less on Usenet these days because I
rekindled an old hobby of mine, ham radio (mostly on shortwave bands).
Also some extra caregiver duties that take time.

Way the hell out in the foothills? That's a pretty good place to live! I thought you were talking about commuting via bike to Silicon Valley?

Are you sure he wasn't talking about breaking wind?

No, he was serious. I should have clipped and kept that article.Not that
I'd ever try that. I'll keep DOT-3 in my MTB brake lines.

It is, except that I'd prefer Southern Utah for MTB reasons and
political reasons. This area is nice though, good MTB turf and
(finally!) some good bike path connections for the road bike.


I thought you were talking about commuting via bike to Silicon Valley?


Never. No 10 horses will drag me to work or commute there. If I ever
mentioned valley I meant Sacramento Valley. I often rode down into he
flatlands there but not over the last 12 months. They were over-obedient
and closed all the good pubs so we rode into the hills where there is
more freedom (and the beer kept flowing freely).
