Ted,

Where are we meeting for the PBHC or Less?  I'd like to do the ride.  I
hope the "breeze" we've had lately will have died down by then.

The first ride was held at a different bike shop last year. I got
called into work and only got to do a short / quick (6 AM) ride to the
17th St. bridge, back to Light House point bridge. The GOOD news, yes
the bike lanes (North / South) near Sea Ranch Lakes have been fixed
and are fine. The BAD news is right at A1A and Holiday Inn heading
North, they were doing street repairs there and ROCKS (Tons of
them...) were all over the road. :-(  Glad I was on the off-trail
Agio... ;-)

Location: Lesters Diner - NW 136th Street & NW 12th Street

Easy does it on this very moderate 25 mile ride through Weston. NOBODY
and I MEAN NOBODY gets dropped on this ride. The speed should be around
12-14 MPH, a little slower if need be or a little faster if EVERYONE
wants to AND is capable. We'll be as FAST as our slower rider so FEAR
NOT getting dropped!!! Join US!!!

Meet us at 7:45 AM and be ready to pedal by 8 AM!!!

This was sent to me last night from one of my bike reps, please at
least go to the rails to trails web site or start calling your state
representatives.  They all need to know that cycling matters here in
florida.  With all of the proposed cutbacks looming we have to let
them all know now that bicycle funding can not be one of them.

Josh

Please read this below and register your support for the funding of
Florida cycling and walking trails! Please pass this email on to all
people who use Florida Cycling and walking paths!
On September 11, 2007, Florida U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez (R) voted to
eliminate all federal spending on trails and other walking and
biking facilities.

Tell Sen. Martinez that Florida needs more opportunities for walking
and biking, not less.

Sen. Martinez's vote was in support of an extreme amendment proposed
by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) that blamed bicycle and pedestrian
funding for the August Minneapolis bridge collapse. This claim was
made despite the fact that, since 2006, states have returned more
than $2 billion in unspent bridge project funding to Congress.
Coburn's amendment was defeated 80-18.

This misguided scapegoating attempt cannot go unchallenged.

Please explain to Sen. Martinez why cutting trail, walking and
biking funds would be a huge blow to Florida.

Bicycle facilities and trails have strong transportation value,
produce zero emissions, support healthy lifestyles and provide
economic development opportunities. We need more, not less, funding
for bicycle facilities and trails. Federal funding has helped to
create numerous miles of highly used bike lanes and trails: the Fred
Marquis Pinellas Trail and Cady Way Trail; regional connectors such
as the Withlacoochee State Trail and the Suncoast Parkway Trail; and
the soon to be constructed 50-plus mile East Central Regional Rail
Trail and 49-mile Palatka to Lake Butler Rail Trail.

After you have taken action, please be sure to ask other Floridians
to act as well. By multiplying our voice, we can convince Sen.
Martinez to do the right thing in the future.

Floridians deserve better transportation choices. Please act now by
visiting http://support.railstotrails.org/martinez.

Laura Hallam, Executive Director
Florida Bicycle Association

Ken Bryan, Florida Director
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy





Dear Christopher,

Thank you for asking Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) to prioritize trail
funding in the future.

Multiplying our voice significantly strengthens the movement. Please
ask your friends and family in Florida to take action as well by
asking them to visit:

http://support.railstotrails.org/martinez

Thank you.

Jose,
Just to let you know there is a mobility/senior scooter store right
next to the new shop so I am sure we can cutomize something for
you.  I am thinking a carbon seat lowracer.

=====================

You folks can't possibly be serious!!  Who in the world drives in
inclement weather on cruise frickin control?  Probably the same atom
splitters that put on emergency flashers and roll in the right lane.

The purpose of those flashers is to let people know your car isn't
moving.  If you have them on, you are supposed to be safely off the
roadway.

No wonder insurance rates in Florida are double anywhere else.

Rod
5- speed no cruise control
Riverview, FL

Just tap the brakes and it will turn off your cruise control.  By
the way your car will not take off like an airplane, you will simply
lose traction and if you are aware how your car drives you should
notice the engine RPM's increase without a similar increase in
speed.  In my misspent youth I was driving a car at well over 100
MPH in light rain (yes I was a bonehead) and when I noticed that my
engine was going faster and was not, I just let off the gas and it
soon found traction again.  Like most things in life the outcome
usually depends on how you react to the problem when it first
occurs.

This is still good advice though you should be paying attention and
driving your car in the rain and not setting it on autopilot.

Hey Bob,
I am not exactly sure if this was the same company but this rack looks
a lot like one that one of my customers with a Catrike 700 bought for
the roof of their car.  It has the same J-hook and three rails but
instead of being hitch mounted it was attached to the roof racks.
They told me it was what they thought they were looking for, but it
arrived in as a box of parts and they had to figure out how to put it
together.  After looking at it and helping to remove the trike I would
have to say it takes at least two people to get the Cat on and off of
the car but when its on it seams to be a solid mount and I don't think
it will be going anywhere.

Hey Bob,
I just got in one of Sun's new recumbent hitch racks, I put it
together today to see what will fit on it and it fit every bent in
my shop. It basically is a larger Hollywood Sports Rider 2 rack
that sun had made for them. But it fit a Rans V2 on it with no
problem. I did'nt try any tandems but it looks goo so far.
