  1. How to avoid a SMIDSY!!!

    Go into Dereham on a 'bent trike, with flagpole of said 'bent wrapped with
    4m silver tinsel; have dancing angels on one's h*lm*t, and half-a-dozen red
    blinkies round the rim of said h*lm*t.... I have found today that this
    effectively brings traffic and peds to a standstill with sed motorists &
    peds developing Bottom Jaw Dropped To Ground Syndrome combined with mucho
    pointing and cries of "What's that!"

    Cheers, helen s

    Sadly not. But I shall be venturing forth in said garb over the Christmas.
    On Wednesday my helmet was festooned with blinkies and loats of best plastic
    holly, ivy and poinsettias. That seemed to go down well as several motorists
    wound down their windows to call out a "Merry Christmas!"

    Last year my bike was pimped out with mylar tinsel garlands wrapped
    around the frame tubes and laced through the spokes. Those were
    illuminated with 120 miniature lights. Poinsettias and gift bows
    adorned the fenders. The effect was positively startling. Lots of
    friendly honks from cagers. It even drew applause from groups at bus
    stops. It was fun even though it looked cheesy.

    Then someone said "God Bless You" and you punched him (or her!) in the nose,
    right?
