kpc,

Oh yeah, I can be very amusing to ride with. And I can be really funny to watch when trying to work on something mechanical. I'm all thumbs and have been rather clumsy, so hilarity ensues!

Penster,

Right, I've already begun collecting my bike bites (AKA battle scars) for the summer. Maybe TE can give an award for the best bike bite at the end of the summer.

I've got a pretty good permanent battle scar -- a nice, 8" scar down my left thigh from breaking my femur on the bike back in 1990. Now there's an injury that will put your cycling on hold for quite a while!

Stay safe, everyone! (But have fun!)
