I've just returned from Belgium via Holland. Just behind the Dutch
border, in a foggy night on an unlit road alongside the river Meuse: two
bikers in camouflage trousers, dark brown pullovers and of course
neither lights nor reflectors. 

If they really want to kill themselves, why the heck don't they just
jump into the bl**dy river!  :-/

I read his blog every day.  it's like a little bright spot on my otherwise dull 
day at the office... much like the PDML. :-)

Hmmm... Either you don't have them, over there, or the most prominent
species is missing: "God's gift to the mobile part of humanity".

He is not easily spotted because he'll mostly be out by night, he always
wears black or dark grey and he *never* has any lights on. He'll gladly
go the extra mile if it involves running against a one-way street and he
generally considers traffic rules as something only invented to be
broken by him, either through contempt or as some kind of assignment
given to him by some higher power.

Speaking of broken... if you're looking for him just follow the trail of
scratched car doors and hacked-off side mirrors. 

He treats all other users of the public space as his natural enemies.
This goes for motorcars as much as for pedestrians, especially if the
latter dare getting in his way while he speeds down the sidewalk at 50
mph. 

By principle, he insists on always driving as fast as he wants. At all
times and under all circumstances. Be it in the middle of a traffic jam,
in a pedestrian area, or across a childrens' playground. 

He is never at fault. If he gets run over after shooting out behind a
lorry at night while the traffic lights were red and his own were off as
usual, it's all *their* fault, because *they* should never have been
there in the first place. 

He won't rest until all the earth's surface has been turned into one
gigantic cycling path. Until then, he might settle for a general speed
limit of 5 mph for everybody... except himself.

Ralf

Thanks for sharing indeed. Back a few years ago I was what they called
a Fred - can't find that in the list though. These days I lean towards
becoming a contraption captain; the HP scorpion or gecko are really
ringing my bell...
