The putahs are happy to take your money and then kick you out, and take on the next customer. Bicycle theft is rampant, but I put that down to a local cultural regard of bicycles as communal chattles. Ride beyond Amsterdam's city limits and you're in the world at large. You're on your own, which is good. You get a chance to spread your shoulders a little. We North Americans pathologically /need/ to be able to spread our shoulders, and not be cramped or scrunched-in among the madding throng. That's the real reason why bike lanes are so disliked. A lot of the North American concept of "freedom" involves having enough room in which to swing a dog. -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

That's how you racist whites destoryed Indian culture and massacred 95% of indigenous people. Of course, their old WMD (guns) wiped out 90% of all wild animals.

Look at your ****ty yourself to your fella, it like a doggie dog. So, what kind of bike are your riding, and how are you transportationally using it? I'm using a Canadian-built (Norco Sasquatch) MTB from the mid-'80's, myself. It's a more backcountry touring than a racing-oriented bike. I and it have endured a lot together. Actually, not much of the original bicycle remains, except the frame. I've gradually replaced a number of bits & pieces with newer and better bits & pieces -- either purchased new, or salvaged from discards. It continues to be a pretty good workhorse, though. I was also fortunate enough to obtain a nice cargo trailer for it. Again, what do /you/ ride? (if anything.) I'd like to see you put your money where your mouth is. But I bet you can't. We hear /you/ doing a lot of complaining, but we don't see you walking the walk, or riding the ride, or doing anything but bellyaching and being negative. Any bonehead can do that. What makes you not a bonehead? -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |
