Hippie has a new ride

Oh, I forgot to mention- big thanks to Dad who entered the race for the second time (only because I entered). It'll be the last for him since it really tolled his 64 year old body.

The race pictures should be uploaded in the next few weeks, Travis Dean is the photographers name I think.

[_paralyzed_]

Awesome for you and your dad pinkpanda! He must be a hell of a man. It always amazes me what my dad still does, there is no stopping him.

Congrats on competing and finishing.

Thanks Harold. Some oldies just do as they please don't they. They don't have to do it the hard way... they do it because they can. I get the impression your Dad is a bit of an inspiration for you too?

Looks interesting, but more of a novelty to me. Just like they said it doesn't look like it will save any weight. I kinda like the simplicity of cycles- occassional maintenance, ride it. I have enough batteries to worry about with rc's and flashlights.

I got hit by a car today while riding my bike. I was doing between 18 & 20 mph, when this 60 plus year old lady tuned in FR of me, when i had the right of way (green light). She stopped about 15 yards or so away, got out of her car mumbling something looked at her car. She then got back in her car & drove away. But don't worry the Bike is okay. My brake handles were crooked & my SIDI'S were scuffed up & my bar tape was ripped.
