- this reminds me... i wonder who's bright idea it was to start bringing
- a bell into races. i was in about 6 different crits where someone had
- a bell on their bike somewhere, and would ring it EVERY time past the
- line. the first few times, i started laughing so hard i almost crashed.
- it was kind of neat watching the people who were either not paying very
- close attention or were just clueless take off every time, notice no one
- was chasing, and slip back into the pack.
-
- an interesting tactic though. heh. only in cat4 will you get people
- biting for that...
