[Bent] Tout de Manhattan Semi Annual Ride Sunday Augest 30 2009 10; 00 -10; 30

[Chris Spollen]

 Rich you got it!
bedroom one is booked!
I will lead you can sweep, got a cell phone?
yes China was amazing
life changing

No recumbent's there was one on Chinese  TV they went crazy for it 15 minutes on a Chinese science show
a low rider with a 27 inch rear 20 inch front did not get make or model.
China moves at  aprox.14.50 miles mph bikes and electric scooters,and there  home spun three wheel work horse's a one wheel rear drive monster.You could make a fortune introducing the owners to a simple three  speed they walk up hills with tremendous loads.But I do not think they have the money for such a luxury. 
I rode an imitation Korean folder made by a Chinese company.
Chinese bikes are old and rusty,work horses ,they do not give a darn about performance flat tires and rusted chains.
No rear view  mirrors every body blows horns as they approach your rear,you must guess what side they are coming upon
I saw wonderful buildings ,great art, walked in raw sewerage, ate chickens feet and frogs legs  had may hair cut and my mine blown
all good,bad air, one hundred degrees but the people were very nice a foreigner here is an event,a smile opens many doors.
best
CS
PS forget the US dollar they only want he Yuan,bring  your toilet appear they seem to have very little
real adventure!













Hi Chris,
Thanks for stepping up & leading a ride- I'd like to reserve a berth at 
Chez Spollen if they're still available. How'd the China trip20go- I 
heard from John it was life changing.
