Hey PaulH, I had a Fella' pull up alongside of me the other day to ask directions as well. It's cool to help people out. I wish more folks would view us (Cyclists) as approachable in stead of "In the way". I had the day off and took my son in his In-Step trailer to two local bike shops. Just a social visit and a BB wrench to get. Had a blast but the little one scraped his knee on the sidewalk. Some liquid skin and a Kiss from Daddy and he was good as new. A happy 2 1/2 year old. He really likes his homemade camel back. I took an extra bite valve and tube and taped it to the lid of a rubbermaid bottle then put it in a Nalgene koozie. He loves it! It's "like daddies". All in all, a very nice ride. Fourteen miles, 12.4 mph avg. speed.
