Down here in Stickville,Ree,they never say an unkind word about the `ped.Sometimes I do have to drive on up and bang on the window though.Generally they seem to be amused at my 230 lbs. sittin' on a little `ped.But remember,I've probably got the only `ped they've seen for months in this sleepy little town.Seems like the last `ped I saw was a young lady with her kid on the back ,about a year ago or so when gas was at near it's highest.
