Absolutely true that responding to poor objectives results in poor result. That was true early on in the aviation industry. But, rather than dismissing the methods the focus was on how to improve...

The tone of a couple posts is rather dismissive of the ratings. Perhaps that tone was unintended in the desire to point out that there is more to having a quality experience in hospital than safety? ...
Considering your post about a deliberate foolhardy escapade I find your judgmental comment about my escaping from the consequences of a reflex action ironic.
And you covet a trophy for going too...
Sure didn't see those responses coming. Actually there is a new wide and smooth trail. I was just coasting, not peddling. The hazard was when I grossly underestimated the braking power of those...
The "What A Rush" thread reminded me of what happened when I was riding in CO a couple weeks ago.
Since I am still rehabbing and developing leg and torso strength I bought a Giant Revel 29 for the...
FWIW: I divide buying and selling decisions into two categories. First, is Economic($). Money rules. The transaction has to make economic sense and be the best deal possible. Second, is...
Wonder if he was as shocked but appreciative as the lady I pumped gas for a couple months ago was? She was obviously brand new at this crutch thing and was having trouble manipulating everything. ...
I've known a bunch of people who feel that way. Can't say I disagree with them making that choice. After all, it is Their Money. So, since it is Your Money you get to make all the decisions.

Yep
Sorry. Didn't mean to omit or mislead. Thought I'd covered this before.
I can swing, or maybe drag, my leg over the saddle. But is a lot more drama than I'm happy with.
Before spin class today...
One of my mottos:
Do it for Fun; or,
Do it for Survival; or,
Don't do it At All.
There is no need to justify why or when a person comes or goes from the Forum. That can only stir things...
Thanks everyone.
Pre-trauma I used to mount from the left with the pedal in about the 8 o'clock position. Step on with the left foot and kick off with a very small push from the right foot. Then...
Not too dumb I hope. How do you mount an upright bike? Safely that is. No jumping over the rear wheel the way Gene Autry used to do with his horse.
Right now I lay the bike almost down,hold...
I'm not in the business of providing gratuitous legal advice or doing other people's legal research. The best thing is to seek legal advice on Contributory Negligence.
By "directing traffic "...
Think a bit more broadly than just accommodating road share traffic. Think: Liability For Your Actions. When you start to direct traffic by giving signals you are assuming liability for what...
Well, I don't know how many they make there but I drove by a Bell plant just outside Rantoul, IL a few months ago. From what I was told they make their own and other brands there. Something to...
Unless the wind changes. I was out for a ride yesterday. Bucked the wind as long as I could so I turned around. Hadn't gone 2 miles and the wind shifted and I had to buck it again. Great therapy...
Weight does make a difference. How much weight it takes to make a significant difference depends on what the person is trying to do with the bike. A top flight competitor will need to pay attention...
Well, maybe the word "fantasy" isn't the best choice. What I see most of the time are people who are focusing on a specific "program". This book or that. This fad exercise program or that. To...
Thanks for the welcome. Yes, indeed it does feel good.
I started with the bike about four months after surgery. But, soon discovered that was way too soon. It was dramatic just watching me. ...
Most of what is posted is fantasy at best. Go to the Body Building and Fitness sources. There an axiom prevails: Fitness is in the gym Abs are in the kitchen" In other words your weight is in what...
Two years after serious spine trauma and a year after the second spine surgery I'm back on the bike. The first 1 hour surgery was a gamble to try to avoid the "big" surgery. The Big Surgery was 9...
First time I ever heard you folks referred to as Scotch it was from my boss, a RAF Wing Commander. Surely a Wing Commander can't be wrong!
That's because there are a wide variety of riding desires, riding environments, biases, and so forth. Best advice is to just go to your local folks and see what they ride and how they like the...
Climberguy, I also much prefer riding outside. But it just isn't possible for me. I seem to be jinxed. I even went south to do some riding only to have a series of snowstorms come through. Each...
