I understood whjat you were referring to, Bob.  Just enjoying a few laughs.

I also have a bicycle.  It's a recumbent.  I love riding it on quiet country
lanes as well as along the keys near here.  I wouldn't even consider riding
it on a highway though.

My two bikes are 125cc and 650cc scooters.  I also own several cars.
Survival depends at least partially on staying aware of the danger larger
vehicles present.  This is particularly true in Brazil where traffic laws
are largely ignored and everyone seems to think he's Helio Castroneves.  I
find that driving a scooter, like flying an airplane, hones my driving
skills.
