Now that we're all wearing our 'full metal jackets', how's the parking say, around 98 Street and 91 Avenue?

Not bad--there's lots of street parking weekends on both sides of the street on 91 Ave.

The bike fetching party starts at my house at 1:00. I have two poles to use to lift the bike (one guy on each side) if necessary. I have a 19" front wheel (no disk) and a piece of metal for a dummy axle--if we take the front fender off, we might be able to mount the wheel so we can carry the back end and roll the front. Anyone have a smaller front wheel?

I have borrowed a trailer and our wagon has a hitch too--whichever works best for the number of people who show up!

I have one excellent hand and one which has, today, been 'improved' by an injection of cortesone. What I lack in manual dexterity, I make up for in enthusiasm for the 'bike snatch'. (You DID pay for it didn't you?

Oh yes. I even have a handy-dandy hand-written bill of sale. Well--sort of paid for it: a fraction of what it's worth...

So how many bums do we need to accommodate ? If we need the van let me know the size of the hitch 1 7/8 or 2"

Four will fit in my wagon--that should be enough. I have a 1 7/8 ball on a Class 3 tongue if we decide to change vehicles.

Operation Paint Can went off without a hitch--thanks to Graeme, David -- and Redbike John for coming out!
