Say "Hey" to Taizz for me. See you both soon. We'll make some music then!

And yes, carfree has been humans' normal state for most of their long existence. Let's end this temporary car sickness!

Post by: Stuart on May 28, 2022, 10:40:40 AM: I just saw this review of Two Wheels Good - The History and Mystery of the Bicycle By Jody Rosen in the NY Times:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/27/books/review/two-wheels-good-jody-rosen.html

I haven't read it yet, but it looks interesting. If you can't access the NYT review, I'm sure there are others.

As an aside, I caught a typo I made in my earlier post where I wrote "Carefree" for "Carfree." Freudian slip? "Many a truth..."? Or perhaps a slogan: "Carfree Is Carefree" YMMV (And hopefully your mileage is on a bike)

Had a great time, heard some great music and ate some great BBQ. Thanks for the recommendations!
