All kidding aside, can't broadbrush all charity rides with one stroke. They're not perfect, and yes while there are real costs in supporting the ride for feeding stations, road closures and other overhead, I doubt the recipient would/could have raised the funds from people simply writing cheques unless there was some sort of event/activity tied into it. |

Then better add:
"One of the best." Impossible. There can only be one "best". "One of my favourites." Likewise impossible. There can only be one "favourite". However it is incorrect to say "more unique" or any kind of unique because "unique" means singular. |

No. There are categorized lots, "good", "better", "best" etc and an item can belong to the category "best" so "one of the best" is ok. Ditto for "favourites".

Oh yeah, - masking tape
And the 3M Co. So crappy that you can't get it off the roll without it tearing, Then OK blue tape at inflated prices Then make the regular tape even worse, to increase sales of the blue tape Then wildly inflate prices of the blue tape Not a big fan of duct tape, either, but that's not really a peeve. |

Nope. Go back to school.

No one that I know has only one link in their "favorites" folder. :lol: I use Firefox, myself. Bookmarks. ;) |

I guess it is pretty annoying when people take up the entire width of the cycling land. Especially if they are not cycling.
