Maryland, you have got me thinking, a curvey wooden tailbox would be sweet! I don't know that I have the ability though. I have worked on wooded boats a bit, so maybe. Do you have link to those shaker boxes you mentioned?
Cyclaholic: I know totally what you mean! Some of the things on the web are monstrosities. The bent rider looks even MORE geeky with those crappy things tied to the ack of their bikes!
Saskcyclist: I lived in Regina and I'm curious to know why you think it is an ideal cyclist city. I dno't disagree, I'd just like to hear why you think so. By the way, are you still on track for your t shirt?
