No, just bikers who ride in the greater Boston area.  They stand a good
chance of not having a life (read: getting killed).

NB:  I think bikers *should* have a fair share of the road.  However,
the fact that the roads in Boston are hardly suitable for cars generally
means they are even less suitable for bikes.

And this is all well and good.  Netcom.com appears to be out of San Jose
(why *are* you getting the ne. groups anyway?).  Obviously, you have no
winter.  Here in New England, we have 9 months of winter, and 3 months of
mighty poor sleddin'.  Biking is just not an option.  Snowmobiling -- now
that might be an option.

Tell me, is the opera very enjoyable if it decides to downpour half way
there, wrecking your suit, or if you come out afterwords and find all your
ham radio gear gone?
