Travis from RBR has launched his own recumbent news and information portal. His most recent opinion piece is superb and I couldn’t agree more.

Tinkle…

Wednesday, 30 September 2009 02:00

Hmmm… this is exactly what I need! I have an AirZound for emergency warnings on a grand scale but nothing that is “pedestrian friendly” for less dramatic notices to folks that I am coming their way.
