Bugger me! "Fabrizio" says something TRUE for a change.
You're right to say I can't take them away, but that's
only because you never had them in the first place. http:-

I don't understand this little game you're playing
here Dave.

One thing for sure, come April 4th I'll be rolling out from
Bruges at 10a.m. with my Domina Vacanze team mates for the
start of the Ronde van Vlaanderen, now we're talking one of
the big world cup races. Guys like me love April.

Please don't argue about this, in fact, I invite you to meet
me in the Lichtervelde start village before 9:30.

If you want a treat, get yourself over to the Muur of
Geraardsbergen, that's where I plan to put in my main
attack!

Anyway, see you after at the finish in Meerbeke-Ninove.

I always get the feeling he's reading this out of a
promotional flyer :)

It's a very simple one. "Fabrizio" makes a laughable claim
to professional status; I search the net for, say, fifteen
seconds and shoot it down in flames. Tell us how you got on
in Het Volk this year, why don't you...

I cannot, alas, be in Belgium until the following weekend.
Does anyone know about long-term parking at the ferry
terminal in Hull?

Well, aside from the fact that "Etollie" is mis-spelled, and
doesn't exist anywhere except in your post (and maybe your
mind, like your "cycling skills" :)), the ACTUAL bike race
(the "Etolie") and all it's groovy details and stages can be
found here:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/road.php?id=road/2004/feb04/bess-
eges04/besseges041

Big surprise! No mention of you, at all, anywhere, on any
stage. There are a couple REAL cyclists named Fabio (close,
but no cigar), but alas, they actually earned their
position. Lemme guess though, they accidentally missed you
and your placings on EVERY stage? LOL

Hoser Poser Loser

At least try to pick a name that actually exists if you want
to poach a little glory :)

Ooops . . . looks like your team forgot ALL your info on
their team stats too, just like everywhere else on the
planet . . . :) http://www.cyclingteam.net/squadra.htm

There's a picture on the site of all the members too. Are
you the guy in the back left with the mop and bucket?

Jimmy, it's May and with the Giro d'Italia getting to the
first real mountain stage today in the Dolomites Fab doesn't
have time to respond to your silly posts in here.

Guess who was instrumental in helping Franco Pellizotti get
his fifth place finish on stage 17 at Sarnonico during this
year's Giro d'Italia !

Now how do you feel?

Well, I "feel" that if I took a couple minutes to do a
read on the race results it would be one more instance of
a race participation that only happened in your mind. So
I'll save myself a few seconds and just state now "Oh
look! Yet ANOTHER race and TEAM where Fabioso doesn't
exist . . . again
. . . still . . "

I think that's how I feel :)

If you were really good he'd have finished higher than 5th
:)

well there are a few bike companys produce a modestly prices 3 wheel recumbent. if that if what you are looking at? i have not much experience riding recumbents in traffic but if you got a flag or lights to make yourself visible to traffic. maybe flags with lights? the posibilitys are endless when you are talking about avoiding certaint death.

If you are new to recumbents I would not recommend riding one in traffic situations because it is a different style of riding and may take you a while to get used to. They can be difficult to handle because they don't have a great turning radius and you are not ass in control of the frame. Also is can be dangerous in traffic because you are so low to the ground that drivers will not be able to easily see you. If you are looking to buy a recumbent trike tho I would choose one with two wheels in the front and one in the back because they are easier to steer. Catrike makes a good quality recumbent that is comfortable and fairly easy to ride.

Got that ReBike built up yet, Bikemad? Personally, I don't see any problem with riding most recumbents in traffic. They ALL - even my NoCom - turn in a tighter circle than a car. Tadpoles and lowracers might be low enough to cause concern in heavy traffic, but most recumbents are plenty tall enough to be seen. Besides, if tallness were the main safety factor, fewer upright cyclsts would be getting hit.

You will get run over at the first intersection you come to,
bents can't be seen by truck drivers.

Which isn't all that bad, you don't really want to be seen
laying out in one of those, now do you?

get a flag if ur worried about cars..... no more or less dangerous than an upright '..recumbents are soo much more comfy than an upright bike... way way more aero as well... no amount of carbon can offset the air drag of an upright
