Often when I cycle, I'll belch, but not nearly so much as the gasoline-powered things. I also push a monster gear. Kevan

I totally agree, but there are SPECIAL CONDITIONS where signs may be a necessary reminder. Blind curves could be one. Here's a curve that goes over a draw bridge with griddles that most "seasoned" cyclists avoid or take the sidewalk.

I also push a monster gear. You know, it's not really considered a "monster gear" when the big one is in the BACK. -- The problem with socialism is there's always someone with less ability and more need.
