    Mary, I hope you don't mind.

    Lisa, I'm not too good at posting links on the computer, but go to the "search" box, and type in "Asked to Write an Article". The post is dated 11/8/05. You will forever be inspired!!

    That fellow is probably still in "frat boy" stage of life... hasn't learned that most of the rest of the world (um, the civilized part!) doesn't "appreciate" that kind of "humor." I'd almost *want* to know who the yahoo was 'cause I'd know not to waste time in conversation with him... and also, these guys *revel* in being anonymous. (Who knows what else he does for fun...)

    I have rewritten that article a while back to update a LOT of information. I'll find it and try to go ahead and update the original thread. I'm glad I can be an inspiration.
    Jimmy at The Bike Line regularly tells me he's amazed at what I've done on that little bike. He says he tells people about me all the time too. Just the other day after I told him my mileage for the year and now lifetime miles on the Little Navigator that Could that when people asked him about doing long rides etc on comfort/hybrid bikes that he sold, that they might be able to do things like that. Now he says when he's asked what someone can do on bikes like mine... You can do ANYTHING you want to on that bike, and proceeds to tell them about me

    After reading the article, I just thought of something.

    Your bike model is in that article, along with the info on making your own clothing. It is ENTIRELY possible that the troll that chose to write that crap about you did it, not necessarily because there was a smell, but because he/she found out the info from the article. You know how rotten asshats some people can be, and maybe he just chose to mock the fact that you make your own tights or something.

    I'm not excusing him at all, but given that you don't think you've ever met him, my thoughts make sense.

    The tights issue only came up AFTER the troll attack. I hadn't started wearing them yet. I'm really mainly hypersensitive right now and I realize that. I know they knew a lot of the things they wrote attacking me about from the article. I just don't know if I've actually ridden with them or not.
    I'm going to take the insert out again and use another material. When I make my next pair of tights, I'll use cotton to cover the seams.
