Awesome women doing amazing things with bikes.

See, I fixed that for you.

I've heard good things about cycling in Taiwan from other sources too. And I once met some tralier-towing Taiwanese tourists on the Bristol-Bath path; I got talking to them because I didn't recognize their flag. It's quite a good flag as well as being bizarrely similar to the flag of Samoa.

Somewhere I might still have the WWOOFing catalogue I picked up in New Zealand many many years ago. So many years ago that it stood for Willing Workers On Organic Farms back then. I don't think I ever actually did any WWOOFing though. Mildly surprised to find it's still going.

I knew that would hook you. Fish in a barrel.

Oh, I had assumed it was about the German for bike, used slightly weirdly. Interesting.

Post by: Cudzoziemiec on 18 September, 2020, 03:48:01 pm: I'd assumed it was just the kind of rad that gets followed by "dude!" or similar. Although, despite their exclamations and superlatives, they don't look quite the types to use "rad!". I didn't gather which one is Ryan and which is Darin – both names I'd think of as male, but then names do change in their application. (In fact I was trying to remember someone's name this morning and it was Ryan – a male one.)
