  1. I have the ultimate bummer. After a pair of seizures I'm not allowed to
    drive, ride a bike, swim, or even jog to the health club for about 6 months.

    Luckily I have a Cyclops Fluid Resistance trainer, and it's great.
    I hook it up to my rear wheel and spin. I have an old Turner light,
    and it isn't light, it's about 30 lbs and slow as s***. But it's very
    comfortable.

    I highly recommend the trainer for making a recumbent more versatile.
    The faster you go, the greater the resistance, and it's very smooth. It
    turns it into a health club comparable exercise machine.

    What about stoking on a tandem?

    This might only be possible on a tandem trike and depending on the kind of
    seizure; the captain should probably be a paramedic in case there is an
    episode on route. Hope the six month hiatus goes by quickly and uneventfully
    for you Beach Runner.

    So where is Transition? Is it some small suburb of Milwaukee? Are there any
    bent friendly LBSs there? How far is it from there to Stevens Point? Should
    we be checking out the Daily Reporter for sightings of the Sunset kind?

    Mr. Sherman posts that kind of [censored] just to annoy me. He knows that I think
    the most important thing about any message to a newsgroup is your signature
    since that is what you are telling the world who you are. He effects false
    modesty in order to contrast it to my justified pride. He is ever my nemesis
    just to spite me. But I ask you, whose signature do you like the bettor, his
    mousy one or my mighty one?

    The main problem that Mr. Sherman has, like so many of the rest of you, is
    that he does not know from one day to the next who or what he is. He will
    most likely be transitioning all of his life. Such nonsense is not for the
    Great Ed Dolan. I stopped transitioning by the time I was out of my teens. I
    took a set like concrete and I have never changed in the slightest since. It
    is a point of pride with me to be thus constituted. Nay, transitions are for
    lessor mortals than the Great Ed Dolan.

    I blame all this matter of signatures on Peter Clinch of Scotland, you know,
    the one where he tells us he is a Medical Physics IT Officer in some
    miserable hospital in Glasgow. He even has the effrontery to offer us his
    numbers including his freaking fax number. Have you ever heard of anything
    so ridiculous! Now you know why I despair of this newsgroup, otherwise known
    as ARBR.

    Every time I see a stupid signature my blood pressure rises into the
    stratosphere. Why can't everyone have a sensible and modest signature like
    mine. I simply tell you how Great I am and also how Holy I am. What could be
    bettor than that! I urge the rest of you to get a signature that will not
    be immediately forgettable.

    Tom Sherman - (In Transition) - indeed!

    Likely somewhere in the Franklin/Oak Creek area. However, if I found a
    place near Eagle I could be KK's neighbor.

    Hales Corner location of Wheel & Sprocket?

    Thanks for 6 month hiatus comments. It's been one month. I feel
    perfect. I'd ride but my domestic partner would go ape. Tandem isn't an
    option, no one to ride with and no tandem bike.

    As I said I'm got I have the Cyclops, and highly recommend it.

    [censored] sapiens are apes, so the referenced behavior is a perfectly
    reasonable response.
