They are heavier than most two-wheelers, about 35 pounds, and they are also a little awkward for dragging, although we got them into hotel rooms, and sometimes up stairs day after day on the road.

I hear you, but, when you get to be a headliner than you can not talk about KFC, okay?
It takes more than critiscising to change the world is what I’m saying.
Yeah, I know that word is misspelled. It’s not the end of the world. :)

The biking part is awesome, but the patronizing of KFC kind of negates the whole equation. KFC and most chain fast ‘food’ places are all republican controlled. Don’t feed the beast. Support locally owned and operated businesses. And we need to be encouraging our eating establishments to procure their vegetables and other food items from local area suppliers (preferably organic/pesticide-free farms, free range meats & eggs), as opposed to huge industrial farms that use genetically modified seeds (Monsanto, ADM).

forgot–my former inlaws had electric/manual bikes, they are really cool……pedal normally then let the electric kick-in when needed…..they take them along when they travel in their rv/bus/mansion on wheels.

around here, quite a few who cycle everywhere, some have a little trailer behind their bike……even see some in town with the kid trailer, don’t know if i would put a kid in one……too many stupid people.

even though it’s hill country, many cycle, i think they’re nuts, there’s somehills around here, my house is on one. you can’t go anywhere without a hill, cellphone signals are only in certain places…..people just laugh when they see someone pull out a cell, trying to get a signal……

saw a few silver motorbikes/cycles recently, on the other side of the state and here, sharp….my dad wants one, he’s always wanted a motorcycle, mom finally gave in……

a few scooters around here, too.

remember, we’re small and rural, except for the college, so, new trends don’t usually happen right away, but these seem to be latching on.

My pleasure. I think it’s a beautiful name and it’s gender neutral. Plus it saves me the time of going through numerous Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese, and Native American names looking for one that grabs me and suits the tiger. Feurae certainly fills that bill. The only reason Gabby has a “conventional” name is cuz he won’t shut up.

and the kids were teens. old enough to know what a firecracker does. old enough to know better.

when my brother was in the 4th/5th grade, he lit a washer/dryer box and threw it down the back stairs of a business, so it could burn there..concete and steel door down 10or so steps…just playin’ around, wasn’t trying to be malicious……went to court and got sent to live with my dad….

these kids were in thier teens….and only a few people i know of out there has much money…….so, don’t know which ones they are……

they’re goin’ away for a while, that’s for sure……
