This one is getting my bride back to biking. Once she tried the 'bent she decided
we she give it a whirl. It eliminates many of the constraints that drove her off
of her Mtn. Bike. We're both pretty excited about it.

Yes Sir. Just got it. Not much time to try it out as of yet, though it is
of good quality. (Piloted by the oldest of the "Crankettes".)

We enjoy our KHS Tandemania Comp but I am lusting after a RANS Screamer. Stoker is OK with my lusting as long as she remains the stoker. She has no desire for a single 'bent but would be agreeable to being a 'bent stoker. Obstacle is $$$$$. Hmmmmm.........wish the Economic Stimulus Checks were more Stimulating.

Back on Topic: You gotta at least get out of the driveway for it to count. Or, out of the garage if you have a really big garage.

I'd like to have a driveway that's .5 miles long. Or even 1/4 mile for a nice out and back loop. :)
