John Longo, in Rockville, does nice work. He's done custom seats for several of the local HOG members, and he added padding to my seat to make it fit my height better (done while-U-wait in my case as it was just a re-sculpt using the same cover). He also does car upholstery too. 301-762-4373 103 N. Stone Street Rockville, MD (that's a couple of blocks north of the Rockville Metro station) -- -- Mike B.

I believe Maryland could use something like this. In fact I believe it could be readily adopted at minimal cost to the State. The State of Maryland could do a lot more in promoting road safety by using currently available resources. For example, several years ago, I wrote describing the percentage of Marlyand automobiles that did not use headlights with their wipers. That percentage has risen and I've only heard one radio announcer (Dick Spotswood -WAMU) mention that law. That is a free resource. I suspect this video could be used for the asking. How about it? Think Bike... safety campaign < http://ruiner.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/howclose.mpg> This is more than just a single 30-second TV video; it's a three-component campaign. In addition to the video, they have a radio ad, which "backs up the TV message and acts as an in-car reminder. There is a strong link between the two elements of the campaign." "The third element is a six-sheet poster campaign using sites adjacent to petrol stations. The posters remind urban bikers to make sure they are seen." The full story is at http://tinyurl.com/e2wnk and a direct link to the radio ad is Carl S. Custer 8605 Hartsdale Ave, Bethesda, MD 20817 _ _ _ _ .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-.

My new GPS lets me download things like Red Light cameras and known speedtraps. I was giving it a try today, and it was pointing out a few red light locations. Then I remembered it wasn't being enforced anymore. I'll leave the info just in case for now.
