Just about ready to send the bent back to Taiwan..

About 8 weeks ago...Had fallen 4 times...On the right shoulder...On

left side...on my forearm...etc..eat gravel was my moto..

But gradually it started to work for me..Learned to plan my stops.

Got away from sudden steering moves just because the bent moved

around a little..Slowly...4 mile rides then 8 mile, 10 mile and

yesterday I did a 17 miler, with clip-less pedals on!! Had to be

really careful at the stops...Kept the left foot clipped in and

used the right to touch the ground..Still working on that, bottom

line...The bent is great! Lay back and enjoy the country..except

for the freaking occasional vehicle..slip on the mask to keep the

dust out of my lungs...Oh, btw..did I mention my rides are on dirt

and gravel?..I put a knobby on the front..20 x 1.7 and a semi cross

over..26 x 1.9 on the back..Work great on the township roads..

cheers! everyone..safe travels..
