And, here’s me thinking that a Canadian or Pom was going to jump in with:
“Yes, yes, Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the freshwater system, and public health… what have the Romans ever done for us?”

We were very content being dirty, stupid, thirsty, sick and hungry.

Any cool historical info on the bridge. Roman?
Sorry, it is not that old, it is part of an old hydroelectric plant from the beginning of the century, around 1910.

The Romans didn't do it for us, but it is true that in this part of Andalucia you can eat as good enough for jehovah.

Yeah, but the OE one will catch a straight leg too.
I must be doing something wrong as I’ve never even come close to catching a pants leg.

Looks like I’ll have to try harder…

I was thinking that all these guys on here must be nuts if they keep catching a pant leg. No freakin' way that's gonna happen to me. :rolleyes: Well, after it did, I immediately ordered mine from Altrider. 'Cuz if happens once . . . .

In my younger days when I was riding bicycles around (rode them for many years not just as a kid), there were a couple of times when I came to a set of traffic lights and the cleat wouldn’t disconnect from the pedal. That’s when you start to go over as you’re attached to the bike.

I remember hearing people at the lights (in cars) begin to laugh and then give me a thumbs up as I would catch myself with one hand before going over completely.

If it’s going to happen anywhere on an S10, I reckon it’ll happen when you need your foot down the most… stopping.
There’ll be no catching with one arm unless you’ve got strength like Franco Columbu (the bloke who trained Arnold Schwarzenegger and was noted for being exceedingly strong).

Oh you're one of those "professional" bike riders. (not bolting myself to two wheels) The day I caught mine pant leg, I was just barely able to catch the bike before it went past the "no recovery" zone.

Well… I did wear Knicks (the skin tight shorts) but, with my ability to drive away all many of women just with my personality, I took it as a bonus to make everyone else ill at the same time!
