Cats do not have owners. I suggest reading "The Silent Miaow" by Cica
(and translated by Paul Gallico) for informational purposes on what
cats really think about people.

Taxidermy, there are plenty of good books on this method of pet care and
if cats could read book covers that'd be all you needed. Of course cats
despite reading books almost as much as they despise owners who think
they actually own their cats. Then I suggest consider how good a cat fur
seat cover can be. There are always solutions. :)

I think Tom is right about this without me having to go read anything. I
find that I am waiting on my cats hand and foot and they do not even
appreciate what I am doing for them. Furthermore, they are costing me a
fortune in cat food.
I believe one should only have two cats at the most. Anymore than that and
you are asking for nothing but trouble. Anyone on this group want a cat?

I have not had a cold since I was in the Navy some 50 years ago. That is
because I am a hermit and never have any contact with people. I highly
recommend to all of you that you go and do as I have done. Sever all your
relations with your fellow creatures. However, you may have as many cats as
you want as they will never give you anything as long as you don't let them
scratch and bite you. This is easier said than done as not all cats like
their owners.

Judging by the typical salaries, what civil engineers do is not valued
very highly by society (though the former residents of New Orleans
might have cause to change their minds). Lawyers, political lobbyists,
investment bankers and those in public relations obviously contribute
much more to the well being of society, based on the compensation they
receive.

My only observation is what is Mr. Sherman doing up at 4:08 AM? I of course
stay up all night and only sleep every other day, but I know Mr. Sherman is
a working man and he should get his sleep or he will perform civil
engineering errors which may cause the loss of life and other dire

You can go for a suitably bumpy track where 26" or 700c wheels will have
significantly superior rolling characteristics to anything smaller. Of
course, some Real Roads fall into that category, so it's possible a Real
Race on Real Roads will not favour bespoke racing machinery like the NoCom.
My Streetmachine has left behind a carbon upright racer that is
/usually/ faster and has a fitter, better rider than me when we came
upon a really poor road and my suspension just soaked up all the warts
that the wedgie had to go up and down in each one's entirety. The NoCom
is named for no compromises to make it "practical" for "normal" riding,
but some of those compromises are genuinely useful on real roads,
especially when they're poor.

Reportedly, there is a practical lowracer out there if one is willing
to sacrifice some of the performance of the Velokraft NoCom [1]. This
practical lowracer is called the Earth Cycles Sunset Lowracer. However,
I understand that some Sunset owners post about their bikes with
excessive frequency on Internet forums.

Handling is relative - I have ridden some recumbents that I would not
want to ride in close proximity to other riders due to control issues

Yes! Yes! I knew all along that Mr. Sherman was posting his abominable
footnotes just to irritate me.
Scholars have persecuted me like forever with their abominable footnotes. As
much as I would like to ignore them, I find that I can't. I will follow a
footnote all the way to Hell and back. Many times in the past I have
actually spent much more time on footnotes than I ever did on the body of
the text. The general reader will not normally bother with footnotes, but my
training as a librarian has forever prevented me from enjoying that luxury.
I plead with Mr. Sherman to go easy on the footnotes. If he causes my early
demise from such shenanigans, I will have my estate bring suit against him
for harassment.
One other thing that bothers me out of all proportion to its true
significance is k Leuck's not putting periods at the end of his
sentences. I also know that he does this just to irritate me. I have
instructed him on this matter repeatedly, but he refuses to listen to my
sage counsel.
It is clear that my vast learning and wisdom are not appreciated here on
ARBR. I will have to dumb myself down in order to communicate better with
the denizens of ARBR.

Standard or "low" Baron? The large amount of tiller is very noticeable
on the stock Optima Baron setup, but it still handles quite well at
lower speeds.

I have ridden a couple of lowracers that run the chain by the front
wheel (this is an option on the Earth Cycles Sunset Lowracer [TM]).
Useable steering "lock" is rather limited in this arrangement. The two
situations where wheel/chain interference are generally an issue are
when starting out and when making tight turns. The former can be dealt
with by proper starting technique, i.e., have the bike vertical, in the
proper gear, and the crank/pedals in an orientation that allows the
rider to generate the largest possible force on the pedal. The later
can be addressed by riding in a vehicular manner; i.e. not attempting
any maneuvers that one would not do in a motor vehicle. Negotiating
certain bike paths with sharps turns could be a problem, but this is
not the ideal environment for a bicycle like the Velokraft NoCom [1]
which begs to be ridden at higher speeds. At the 20+ mph (35+ kph)
speeds easily obtained on the NoCom, limited steering lock will not be
an issue.
[1] Until proven otherwise, the Velokraft NoCom is the fastest "Stock
Class" bicycle in the known universe.

In other words, a good bike for ideal riding conditions. However, in the
real world there hardly ever exist ideal riding conditions, most especially
not in urban areas. No thank you! I want a bike I can ride easily and
handily under any and all conditions. This includes really bad roads, sharp
turns, totally congested conditions where going slow is mandatory, ... the
list just goes on and on.
Some bikes are designed more for the race track than real roads. Anyone here
into racing? I thought not!

PS. Mr. Sherman could just as easily have put his footnote in parenthesis in
the body of his message, thereby sparing us the tedium of having to look for
it in the cellar. One of these days I am going to write a long essay and
post it here on ARBR on why none of us should ever use footnotes. It is
nothing but a scholarly affectation which has no place here. As a former
college librarian who had to deal with these confounded things all the time,
I HATE FOOTNOTES! Does Mr. Sherman do this just to irritate me?

Maybe you will. Chirstmas is coming. All joking aside, the NoCom
looks amazing! Still the position of the rider's legs as well as the
chain has me wondering how far one could turn the front wheel before
hitting one or the other. What do you know about that?

I rode one a month ago, forget about turning the front wheel more than a few
degrees. The NoCom is a nice looking but impractical bike, I'll stick with
my Baron

If this were the case, I should be getting a free Velokraft NoCom as
payment for my services.

I was hoping to hear a response from Mojo directly but I suppose an
indirect response from the political arm of the Mojo Republican Army
will have to do.

The HRS blog has had positive comments about Volae (relative to other
highracers), Trek upright road bikes, the Velokraft NoCom, the Optima
Baron and the ReBike.

Your blog has made it clear that you don't like high racers, the
Bacchetta Company, and it's owners? So what do you ride and why do
like it?
