</SPAN>I do not carry a Rufferto talisman, but I also do not carry any Groo
icons with me either. Therefore I do not have any greater or lesser chance of
having a break down or accident on my bicycle when I commute to work. Even
though you say you bike to work most of the time, it is a good idea to bring a
Rufferto talisman like your Rufferto Cap. It really sucks to get a flat tire on
a bike when it is cold outside. Regardless I commend you for cycling to work
much of the time. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Wingdings size=2><SPAN

</SPAN>Also, this is a bit off-topic, but how far do you bike to work? I bike to
my job 5 miles each way just about every day. I only had to be driven to work
about half a dozen times last winter due to icy or heavy snow conditions. Like
the Long Suffering Mrs. G. my wife does most (actually ALL) the driving.
However, we do not have a “Groo car” as you said. We just have a French-Canadian
