Hello all: Normally I do my darnedest to "lurk." Dar's thread kinda caught my fancy - notwithstanding the fact that I'm even skinnier than usual after getting that godawful virus a few weeks ago.
Anyway, here's my marketing scheme: "Fat Folks on Fat Tires" It could be a ride held during bike to work week highlighting the fact that people of slightly less anorexic girth can and manytimes enjoy the bicycle as a mode of transportation. It's kind of late to glom onto bike to work week (apologies to the organizers for dumping a new idea late in the process) but if it's on people's minds, maybe now is the time to address it head on. It's always better, in my opinion, to hash things out in the open rather than have issues fester behind the scenes. I like the whole notion Dar advances because it's one of those unspoken things about bicycling and to the extent that it's gone from a source of frustration to a big stupid remark by Thuy, maybe we could tap this as a "teachable moment." Just a thought. Al Matano _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
