Is it just me, but I haven't seen those infomercials for the Infamous
LANDRIDER in a while...have they stopped airing them everywhere else?
We'd joke about how they'd start appearing in the summer and roll our
eyes whenever they'd appear....mind you, it usually seemed to be in the
wee hours of the morning and I'd catch it if I had insomnia. Maybe they
went out of business!

I last saw one three months ago, but I don't watch telly much.
But if I had one at least I would know if I had it in the right gear.
I am so confused.

Ted.

No such luck. Clicked through one yesterday afternoon, cowardly hiding
in a dark, air-conditioned room. It was actually sort of funny, in a
pathetic sort of way. Showed three "cyclists" -- one couldn't change
the gear on his mountain bike, one couldn't ride a road bike, but the
Landrider cyclist was cheerfully cranking up a hill. The sort of hill I
usually pedal twice to get over.
