>>A few years back we were in Amsterdam and watched a woman on her "omafiets" (grandma bike) take a really deep right on wet cobbles with one hand on the bars and the other had a cell phone and cigarette. Add to that a child on the toptube on one of those bolt on seats and foot peg setups and a big load of groceries on the back. << --Brandon"monkeyman"Ives
Brandon:
Most of the stuff you said in the two sentences above is illegal in the USA!
(1) Smoking
(2) Talking on a cell phone & operating a vehicle (New York???)
(3) Riding double on a bicycle
(4) Overloading a vehicle
Mostly in jest, but an example of how out of control law makers have become in this country....
