I have the ultimate bummer. After a pair of seizures I'm not allowed to
drive, ride a bike, swim, or even jog to the health club for about 6 months.
Luckily I have a Cyclops Fluid Resistance trainer, and it's great.
I hook it up to my rear wheel and spin. I have an old Turner light,
and it isn't light, it's about 30 lbs and slow as s***. But it's very
comfortable.
I highly recommend the trainer for making a recumbent more versatile.
The faster you go, the greater the resistance, and it's very smooth. It
turns it into a health club comparable exercise machine.

Homo sapiens are apes, so the referenced behavior is a perfectly
reasonable response.

Likely somewhere in the Franklin/Oak Creek area. However, if I found a
place near Eagle I could be KK's neighbor.

Hales Corner location of Wheel & Sprocket?

What about stoking on a tandem?

This might only be possible on a tandem trike and depending on the kind of
seizure; the captain should probably be a paramedic in case there is an
episode on route. Hope the six month hiatus goes by quickly and uneventfully
for you Beach Runner.

So where is Transition? Is it some small suburb of Milwaukee? Are there any
bent friendly LBSs there? How far is it from there to Stevens Point? Should
we be checking out the Daily Reporter for sightings of the Sunset kind?

Thanks for 6 month hiatus comments. It's been one month. I feel
perfect. I'd ride but my domestic partner would go ape. Tandem isn't an
option, no one to ride with and no tandem bike.
As I said I'm got I have the Cyclops, and highly recommend it.

Mr. Sherman posts that kind of crap just to annoy me. He knows that I think
the most important thing about any message to a newsgroup is your signature
since that is what you are telling the world who you are. He effects false
modesty in order to contrast it to my justified pride. He is ever my nemesis
just to spite me. But I ask you, whose signature do you like the bettor, his
mousy one or my mighty one?
The main problem that Mr. Sherman has, like so many of the rest of you, is
that he does not know from one day to the next who or what he is. He will
most likely be transitioning all of his life. Such nonsense is not for the
Great Ed Dolan. I stopped transitioning by the time I was out of my teens. I
took a set like concrete and I have never changed in the slightest since. It
is a point of pride with me to be thus constituted. Nay, transitions are for
lessor mortals than the Great Ed Dolan.
I blame all this matter of signatures on Peter Clinch of Scotland, you know,
the one where he tells us he is a Medical Physics IT Officer in some
miserable hospital in Glasgow. He even has the effrontery to offer us his
numbers including his freaking fax number. Have you ever heard of anything
so ridiculous! Now you know why I despair of this newsgroup, otherwise known
as ARBR.
Every time I see a stupid signature my blood pressure rises into the
stratosphere. Why can't everyone have a sensible and modest signature like
mine. I simply tell you how Great I am and also how Holy I am. What could be
bettor than that! I urge the rest of you to get a signature that will not
be immediately forgettable.
Tom Sherman - (In Transition) - indeed!
