Too funny, James. I also think like a cyclist most of the time when I do drive.
Truth be told: I don't have that backup vehicle yet, and probably won't need it for at least a short while longer. For the past 18 months, with about 18 more months to go, I have been working within a tolerable (for me) pedaling distance from my home and, without a car, it has been an excellent "forced exercise" program for me. I have learned to ride on iced-over roads, and managed to keep everything upright in 45-mph crosswinds, which are not uncommon here in the Yorkshire Dales. Public transportation here is OK, but doesn't really go where you need to go all the time, if you know what I mean. The train to Leeds is a piece of cake, but for that to be a good thing one must work in Leeds. When the snow got heavy enough that there were only tire-tread lanes in the road, I did revert to the bus, not because I couldn't have managed it, but it would have been terrible PR for cyclists, as I would have certainly been forcing vehicles into a dangerous overtaking move to get by me. But inverted 'trosses it is. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
