I was at closeouts later .I was at the show as soon as I could buy a ticket .I had to lock my bike outside.I did not see you at all.Since i met you last year i think i would have recognized you.I looked pretty much the same as last year a bit older of course.It beats the alternative.

Well, I had my bike with me. The BikeFriday stayed with me the entire time I was there. I was only in the room about 30 minutes, tops. It was a pretty small room, so it's not like you could linger there, like in the past shows.

That's the one!

It's heavy and slow and rock steady and way too cool and really you need a leather helmet with ear flaps and goggles and a long white silk scarf to look right riding it and isn't that chainring just too fokking cool?

Actually, it's a blast to ride bicycles around indoors threading your way slowly through crowds of people and no one says "Hey! Whaddaya think you're doing, Bozo?" Every once in a while, someone says "cool bike!" though.

RG, thanks for a great time. Tell the others I really enjoyed my weekend there with them all. We nearly gave out every flyer you came with, which I understand is a new record for you guys!

Drop me an email so we can chat sometime this week, ok?

Thanks for the help again!

Koffee, I did not know that you had ridden in the OMC! Did you ride in last August's ride? I heard it was a good one.

Set up a chat for you and RG and invite some of the rest of us along! That would be interesting. I find Bikeforum people so fascinating to chat with.

RG, did you get any good pictures of the Bike Show? Koffee, did you? Share with us?

Koffee, why did you decide not to be a speaker this year at the Bike Shoe?
