"Carol Hague" wrote in message ... Now if I said the only point in having a woman about the house is to clean, cook and do the dishes I would be rightly criticised for being sexist. The difference being that until comparatively recently many people (of both sexes) sincerely believed this to be true. I don't think anyone honestly believes that men's only use is repairing cycles. Yawn, some people just don't have a SOH, do they? The fact that some people have a different sense of humour than you do doesn't mean they have none. I've seen very little evidence of a SOH of any sort in your postings, but I may simply not be reading them as you intended. Perhaps you're doing the same to mine. Or perhaps you're just feeling grumpy today. (If so, you'd better make sure the other six don't get jealous...) -- Carol Hague "He really has a noble heart and the best of intentions.

The standard trailer is a base to which you can add different top sections. We have the side bars, but there are also child or dog trailer options available. I generally use a Bob Coz for the shopping, but I thought the Bluebird would be more stable for transporting the cat. I guess though for cats you would need the accessory rhinoceros-skin gloves and the Daktari gun :-) g I doubt any cat would stay voluntarily in the trailer. And as for strapping one in a harness, you probably would need those accessories.....The dogs I've seen riding in trailers seem to be enjoying themselves, as far as I can tell. Sigh - just so. so many people there cycling in normal clothes. I saw soem people with two child seats on a normal bicycle, taking the kids to school. Both child seats on the same bike? How did that fit? One on the rack and one on the crossbar? -- Carol Hague |

Sorry, John, but now you're just being ridiculous. It's /impossible/ to take children to school on a bicycle or cycle in normal clothes. And in the rain. And try carrying shopping on one. Next you'll be telling us that bicycles are a perfectly valid form of transport!

Smaller affairs, with a straight back. |

I always take my cat to the vet on the bike - put him in the cat box then pop bike box on the bob trailer. He seems fine with it all. On one of our house moves, the two places were less than a mile apart so we moved a lot of stuff by bike, including the fridge freezer, two large bookcases - and the cats. The cats settled into the new house much better on that occasion than any of the times they've moved by van. That was when we had the Columbus trailer though. I don't think that particular freezer would fit in the Bob, although the Bluebird might cope. Not sure about the bookcases. -- Carol Hague "Be yourself, no matter what they say." - Sting, "An Englishman In New York |
