On Beacon Hill.........it's no big surprise that the insurance cost much much more than the old Geo Tracker.....so I switched to a bicycle.......no parkng tickets, no parking problems, no insurance, no bogus insurance scams, no gasoline, better tips, & better exercise!
You know with studded knobby tires, a bicycle could probably be used to get out to a Winnipesaukee island. That would be a first. Let's compare....a $15,000 Polaris Ranger vs a $150 second hand, mountain bike with special studded tires. The islands are usually no further than one or two miles from the shoreline take-off spot.....so a bicycle could be pretty practical for peddling across the frozen lake. Never a problem getting it started, and no trailer needed, just a bike rack. Plus, it's slow speed probably makes it safer than hitting an unseen pressure ridge at 45-mph.
A bicycle.....must be a bicycle shop somewhere in the lakes region that can install ice studs into knoby tires.....any suggestions?
