  1. Asking/answering questions, friendly banter, suggestions- ***way to
    go!*** I went to small town USA *FOR* pedal power and ARBR was getting
    weird it seemed. Thanks "higher ups" or just "Joe or Josephine" poster.

    Logically, this should be a laid back group.

    No need for a killfile recently, as the trolls appear to be sleeping
    under their bridges (or are over on rec.bicycles.misc).

    Maybe we should cross-post something about racing recumbents to
    rec.bicycles.racing - that is usually good for an ON TOPIC flame war. 😉

    This is nice to know. I didn't know that they had moved on, as the more
    persistent had gained killfile status.

    I'll be loading up my new Zefal Hpx3 frame pump on my RANS Tailwind in a few
    days here, as the last snows are off the road, and riding.

    And thank you again for the heads up on the frame pump.

  6. Yes, very quiet. I decided to dump my bent and move on to something I
    can get advise about. Power-assist and IHPVA velomobiles are not it!
    Must be some other way other than silence.

    I really thought this was a DOA newsgroup! This is the first posting in a
    couple of days! At least!

  9. Do you mean this sentence-  Power-assist and IHPVA velomobiles are not
    it! -?

    I put a Currie motor on my bent years ago, and when I wanted
    information on higher gearing, possible transmissions, lithium battery
    upgrade pros or cons; I was totally shut out of that "old boys club".
    No secret ring, I guess, so no Power Assist Yahoo club. I am not a
    gril either, whether or not that applies.

    Same with velomobiles. I wanted to know how to back them up, get some
    "tip over" advise, just basic "dos and donts" from experienced
    velomobile pilots; when I planned on adding a velomobile to my garage
    in 2003.

    I was refused entrance to both those; even though I was on IHPVA
    Trikes, and was a member of several Yahoo clubs.

    And of course, you know how I broke up my bent collection ('02-'03);
    selling for pennies on the dollar just to move them, destroying and
    giving away other bents and partss. I kept only my TerraTrike in many
    boxes until Social Security was positive that I would not sell the
    bents for a profit- then quietly re-assembled it.

    Bents have been a frustrating and often difficult hobby for me; but the
    enjoyment while the world flys by when I ride my bent makes it
    worthwhile.
