Would it improve the image if I used baling wire too, or do you think that would be overkill?


Not sure about bailing wire however, barbed wire surly would!

You can use big rubber bands, but I do believe it will be rather "heavy" and the next thing you will want is a vacation for your strained neck muscles...... Very Happy


Might be a good excuse for another cruise, and those nice deep-tissue massages..... ohhhh yeah!


Now you are thinking on my wave length.... somewhere I read part of a signature file that "work was the 8 hours between bike rides" ..... thumbs up

recum Well, I wound up with a simple corded CatEye compooter mounted on a T-post. Haven't decided whether or knot I'll need lights. I have to get in shape first. I did ten miles total yesterday, and my right leg wasn't too happy with me.

Oh well.

Lights are good on hazy or overcast, or even bright, days. You put them in the blink mode and you stand out from the background for motorists coming from both directions.

It's a $25-$30 safety investment that I, personally, think is well worth the dough. thumbs up
