Draft Proposal for legislation

All cars should have tubes fitted to pass all exhaust gasses to a respirator for the driver, so that any polutants have been first cleaned by the drivers lungs

A modest proposal ?

Cycling to from Manchester (10am at Chorlton Water Park Car Park, access via Maitland Road) to the Bells at Lower Peover and back with the - Dawdling Doctors.

Round trip c. 50 miles

My latest aquisition (via ebay) is a Trice XL NT.

Like most recumbents it is fast (but maybe not quite as fast as a windcheetah). However when hill climbing, you get no aerodynamic benefit, but are slowed up by the extra weight.

This Trice is very comfortable, but not easily foldable (as the Hase Lepus is, or more recent Trices may be).

So far I have cycled it home from Birmingham (80 miles) and some local trips - hope to make it to Cyclefest with it in august

I have been to the velodrome once on a tryout sessions - great fun, but like parachuting - a one off for me.
