Re: [Fwd: Your email requires verification ]

Been there done that...probably some 'inexperienced'

have been on.

Or just tooooo much a noob on the net!

Cyclists should expect and demand safe
accommodation on our public roads,
just as does every other user.

Nothing more is expected.

Nothing less is acceptable!

Long live Knoppix!!
