   Yikes! That must be one heck of a ride. Would like to see that if you   
   can post a pic somewhere. The idea is interesting to me because we   
   we're out somewhere and I get older, I can use the younger bride to do   
   most of the work peddling. :-0

   I forgot to add shoulders. When you're young and you fall off the bike,   
   you just get back up and move on. You start getting fake joints, you   
   really don't want to do that anymore.
