1. The knobs are still there - look between thigh and shin!
2. We still have a real road bike here for you, a steel Paramount that might even fit. We'll have to do the Dragon, since you've mastered the road! It's getting that junky Campy stuff you rode on put on it.
3. Road bike. Note I used the word "road bike." Roads are for road bikes - keep those dirty sprung things off the road!
4. Oops. Get Kat to tell you about her new sprung road bike. She likes it. Boing boing down the road with funny springs. Will get her trained up again on that thing. It even has fenders and mountain gears. Your kind of ride. Sort of. Maybe in 40 years when you slow down.
5. And her newest set of stitches are finally out, and she's almost walking normal. Should start a pool on when she gets the next set. Terminally blond, terminally bruised.
6. Congrats to all, especially "Tugger."
