When in doubt, pedal.

Pedal away from it all. ; /

seems like -- this may have been brought on because of speeds over 25 mph

that seems to be a problem
if -- in our states -- we don't hold our top speed down
the outcome may not be good

as we ride those things

Certainly part of the equation MM, a rather large part. But to understand that requires a degree of commonsense, not always commom evidently.

There are those with enough seasoning on them to know a good THING when they see it. To be able to have a bit of power assist and just glide by the madding crowd quietly minding their own bussiness without anyone paying them much attention because it's JUST A BICYCLE.....is a good THING.

I think the changes came about because almost every moped and scooter you buy nowadays goes faster that 30 and cities and towns cant properly ticket a moped here cause they done issue plates in Mass, only registration stickers with a serial number. And no metermaid / cop wants to look up a vehicle by that number, its too small. the sticker is a 1 in squre. Plus most moped riders i see dont have the registration sticker and the cops here (Metro Boston) could care less.

"I just wanna ride (pedal) my bicycle, I just wanna pedal (ride) my bike, Ossifer."

Studs? Oh. I put them on my tires to flare out on the black ice, Sir. No laws again' that,is there?

Not Nokian, but they have saved me a few times from going under a cager's (humungus) wheels.

Those funnie things around the handle bars? They are winter pogies. Keeps ya toasty.

These lobster gloves? Yeah. Kinda redundant.

It has been one lOo-ong winter here, in the Valley.

(Oh. you like my stealth rear rack? Heh.)
