No problem my friend.
I have a good friend and fellow rider who is in IT for a global network provider who has helped me with my settings. Interestingly, though I am not technologically capable, I have seemed to acquire many geek friends who know their stuff. I guess I help them in areas they need assistance and they help me. I think one would have to give up their computer altogether to not be exposed to some negative aspects of online social intercourse.
That said, the FB route is easy to use for all manner of socialization, almost everyone uses it, and having to repeat or duplicate information elsewhere is time consuming (for me anyway).
Maybe someone will come up with an app that will forward FB information one could subscribe to without perceived risk. In the meantime, let's ride!
Most likely since they were on a curvy road, since some went down, others came around a curve at speed and with nowhere to go hit the downed cycles which launched them upwards.hence the bikes going airborne. Just a guess on my part though.
A 200 bike charity ride sounds like trouble to me
Even though I like and participate in a lot of group rides, I do avoid those charity events. Too many people, inexperienced in the group ride dynamic. I just give 'em some cash and pass on the ride thing !
