Well, it may sound far fetched but if you are going on a couple of months
vacation, with your girl, you are going to spend some money no matter how
thrifty you are. What if you had someone local spode check out, and you buy a
bike or two on Craigs list here in the States and get them ready for you over
the summer. After the vacation, have them turn around and sell them for what
you can get back and consider the difference "rent" paid for the use of the
bikes for a week. You will probably lose some as right now is not the best time
to be looking for deals, and fall is not the best time to sell a bike, but I
guess it's all relative.

Just trying to think out of the box.

I just put in my vacation request a few minutes ago. As long as life
doesn't smack us down, We should be there.

WooHoo!
The Violent Hillbilly is in (barring a bitch slap from fate, of
course)!!!
This is shaping up to be a GREAT Spudfest.
Would everybody please send Tami all of your spare bubble wrap? There
are stairs and hills and all kinds of dangerous things around where
she lives, and she's a little accident prone, as y'all may have
noticed.

Already looking forward to August
