The "stoker" riding position on a tandem bicycle springs to mind. That's a way to get a good cardio-vascular workout safely, as long as Mel isn't on the road <G>. A blind American blues harmonica player (Sonny Terry?) said he rode a motorcycle regularly in his youth. I think he followed a friend on another machine. A couple of times I've walked-&-talked with stick-using blind guys and found it difficult to keep up. At a station, telling a blind guy of the latest arrivals appearing on the board, I was politely told my help wasn't required. Jake
