Since it's almost Father's Day, this is our last chance to check the reader mailbag. We look forward to following your progress. We just purchased a four-bike rack and had a trailer hitch installed on our van three days ago. Our goal is to begin with local trails that have been out of reach without the carrier. Enjoy the time together.
Life is short.
I'm sure there are those who are jealous because they didn't get this type of opportunity. I do not believe this to be accurate and printing this misinformation does a huge disservice to avid cyclists who must endure endless comments from friends and family. Please consider this and have a nice trip. I don't have any studies in front of me, Mike, but this is definitely an issue that is in the forefront of a lot of cyclists' minds, hence the popularity of new-fangled seats like my dad's. I'm not saying that it affects all hardcore cyclists, or even a majority, but the fact that your friends and family are making comments shows that it's an issue that's already drawn a lot of attention from both the medical profession and the media.
