Ken,

Are you still riding the RANS Wave?

Ken,

Tom,

It's nice to know that I'm still remembered by someone on this n.g.
Yes, I still have the Wavewind (Yes, you get credit for the name.),
and I bought a BikeE FX. Dual suspension and all of that. I may
dispose of the BikeE on Ebay someday.

Anyway, I bought a fixer-upper house on the River and that means I
moved. This is a much less bike friendly part of town, no bike lane
and the highway's barely wide enough for two cars. And the house
takes up a huge amount of time. Add up this and that, and I don't
ride my bikes any more. They still have a place of honor in my living
room, but they don't get ridden. I should get back into it someday,
but life just has taken other turns for the past couple of years.
Work, the house, life, all seem to edge out biking.

I still check in on the n.g. regularly, but it seems to have taken
some turns away from biking as well.

Good luck,

Ken
