Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

This guy cut it and shaped it from a stock piece of mirror, nobody sold a replacement glass for that car. He used a silicone type glue which doesn't harden like epoxy.
But if you can get by with just taking it off, problem solved.

The groundlings that fall in mid-August are not yet ripe.

I find it fascinating that a person is told from the second they walk into the airport to the point they take their seat on the airplane that they have to wear a mask, and yet they still act surprised when told if they do not put one they will be removed from the flight.

WhyFi, when you traveled to SoVA, last year, did you carry the bike inside your car, or on a rack? I’m trying to explore options for the upcoming trip. It looks like there’s only a single shop that rents road bikes where I’m going and I missed their closing time yesterday to talk to them about the details.
