Good grief it's a bicycle, not a freakin' jet engine. I can assure you that no matter how it's configured, it will respond to being run over by a bus in virtually the same manner. Beyond that, most of this is Fredly handwringing.

When I told him that was a rather counter-intuitive statement, he told me that if my bike shop couldn't figure it out they could call him and he would explain it.

I don't like the sound of that at all. These bike companies suck.

But the more research I do the more the Foil sounds like it's a good choice for me. The Addict was starting to feel a bit mushy.

I must operate a bicycle whilst drowsy.

Hopefully I won't fall asleep and topple over into the middle of the lane on the way home.

Not saying I know everything about this but I have deleted everything that came with the update. There were 5 things with the java update. Mostly garbage . I even did a restore. Cant get rid of it. Just thought it might be worth mentioning.

That bike is known to be difficult to run cables on, even mechanical ones. Ask Grumpy. He owns a Foil.

Yeah, I saw that on my last update. You have to uncheck a box to avoid downloading bing with the update. It's kind of sneaky. IIRC, they used to do the same thing with the Google toolbar.

That's the bike shop's problem. I pump up the tires.

Both of my lungs work fine. I don't think it's my lungs that are holding me back.
