If anyone remembers, awhile back I advocated each of us having a simple web site with photos and some explanation of our bikes. Then print out pages of either tickets or cards with our screen names and the URL of the web site.
The site could have a list of links to this site, the Yahoo Group for this site,
engine kit suppliers and whatever.
In this way when you're in a situation like Tramp found himself in you can reach into your pocket and hand some of those pre-printed address slips to those
who are looking at your book in awe. (imagine the looks on their face when they see you even have it online
) I'm sure the officers didn't have long to talk if they were on the job. But if you don't have long to talk cause you're on your way to work.........well you can see the "power" of this idea.
Who knows Tramp, we may have had four or five bicycle officers joining us here today at the end of their shift.
And having them with us.....if not even advocates for us couldn't be better. After all.....if officers in squad cars
see a riquimbili going down the street and don't know what to make of it and
think.....hmmmm....I'll ask Jonsie, he's one of our bike cops, maybe he'll know something about them things...... ( and maybe he'll know their called "riquimbili's" and get up to 200 mpg )
Could work !
