Okay, MightyMitre,

What it a string vest? It doesn't sound gruesome, but a little obscene.......

I tried to look it up on a Sportful website, but didn't have any luck finding a website in English and I don't understand Italian or German, darn!

The tea-stop sounds nice......... do you manage to fit that in on every ride? We don't have many of those in Iowa. It's generally a stop at whatever little bar is open in whatever little town we are in. Or else a convenience store. They don't have tea, only fake cappuccino, the kind that comes out of the push-button machine and tastes like sweetened hot chocolate.
