Lead on Wednesday's Blug entry about the (H)ot (S)**t bike:<http://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/13883032079/it-makes-me-feel-like-king-of-all-i-survey-john> "It makes me feel like King of all I survey." - John, as he rode it.<http://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/13883032079/it-makes-me-feel-like-king-of-all-i-survey-john> So obviously John is a hard-shelled kind of a guy:
"All mine!" Yertle cried. "Oh, the things I now rule! I'm the king of a cow! And I'm the king of a mule! I'm the king of a house! And, what's more, beyond that I'm the king of a blueberry bush and a cat! I'm Yertle the Turtle! Oh, marvelous me! For I am the ruler of all that I see!" Or maybe the real-life Robinson Crusoe? William Cowper<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Cowper>'s The Solitude Of Alexander Selkirk is about the feelings of Alexander Selkirk as he lived all alone on the island. This poem gave rise to the common phrase monarch of all I survey via the verse: I am monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute; >From the centre all round to the sea, I am lord of the fowl and the brute. * * * Riv content? GP likes great poetry. ________________________________ From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe Bernard Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2011 7:06 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] Re: Odd New Bike: Built, Explained "Tentacular". That's funny. ;-) I'd still like to see the Slacker bike. I have an Electra Amsterdam that fits that criteria, and has a bar similar to the NuBar, but without as much back-reach. The bike's seattube angle falls somewhere between "normal", and the very-crank-forward Townies Electra builds. I sit bolt-upright on a big ole sprung saddle. A recumbent couldn't be any more comfortable. A production Rivendell Slacker with NuBar would be very cool. If you ever want to ride my Amsterdam, gimme a holler.
