Dear Bob--A Journey Through the Deep South--Who's Vera?
March 19, 2010
We began our Deep South bicycle trip by transporting ourselves and our tandem in a Ford Taurus without a rack. Quite the impossible task unless you have a Rodriguez 8-Ball tandem with S&S couplings.
We couldn't add a rack because it wasn't our car. We were delivering it via a Driveaway company. But once we had taken the bike apart, it neatly fit into the trunk.
Then it was a several thousand mile road trip across the country with plenty of time to ponder, "Who's Vera?"
Dear Bob: Who's Vera? (Who's Bob?)
Next week:
Hog Hunting: Life outside the "cement" world.
