Man Neil i sure hope your just generalizing,i was looking forward to meeting a fellow cyclist in Edmonton ( i of course know a few). I actually love pickups and always have had one,its not a "one ton dually" you speak of though, too inconvenient to park in city. Ive done a ton of oilfield trucking with semi's back in the day.Wear a ball cap too even on my bike. Sounds like we might get along good.
PS It is the small size pickup though,dont need big one for city use.
