Ha, I bet it gave you a shock, right? I knew someone who had that kind of system but the kids kept setting it off just to hear the car 'speak'! Perhaps it is a bit more effective than the usual siren though.
I wouldn't say I felt totally safe but that was more down to traffic there than the bike itself. It was very exciting (and yes it was cold.)
Byker, do you mean a trike?
Wow, I've never seen that. I wouldn't want to do it either, the topic is a private thing in my mind. I have a couple of soft toys that I sometimes stick to the windows but no decals.
I love New Year parties and events and am planning to go see a concert and have a nice dinner somewhere. Last year I was sick and missed the big countdown so hoping for better luck this time.
I was lucky enough to take a tour around Beijing on a bike and sidecar earlier this year. Now I am becoming obsessed with owning one myself, although so far nobody will actually agree to ride as my passenger should I go ahead!:heh:
Hi Marvin, nice to meet you! I am new as well, though I have been reading the boards for a while. So are you a bike or a car guy? Old or new models? What's your ride? (I like asking questions!)
I really dislike those overpowering air fresheners people use in their cars, especially the pine variety. They make my eyes water so I have banned them from my car. (I just open the window as much as I can.)
