  1. For the past 26 years, the bike and the car have worked in tandem, one
    taking me on trips where the other wasn't required.
    Not any more. The car got well and truly crunched in a classic
    nose-to-tail yesterday arvo, and I don't like its chances after that.
    So it's back to the bike for the time being, though my wife would
    obviously like me to acquire another four wheeled vehicle, but that may
    take a while.
    Cheers,
    Ray

    Good luck with your resistance, Ray. Moral support coming your way.

    My guess is that most of these four wheel HPVs are a good deal more
    expensive than Ray's old car :/

    Bad news for you Ray. Insurance claim? Hope you're uninjured. Yes, I do
    imagine your wife will need a car eventually. All the best.

    Not only that, but while I think they're quite cool (especially the
    Rhoades car), they're neither fish nor fowl. Take the Rhoades Car,
    http://www.rhoadescar.com/store/nav4w4p.htm it's too wide for a
    cyclepath but imagine riding it in traffic!
