Folks

My wife & I have started birding (and woodlands-exploring) on bikes.

Her (quite impressive) Nikon binos ride in a modern-cool "basket"  
over the front wheel of her Cannondale.

My Leicaflex SL w/60 macro & Kodachrome ride in a Benser-style case  
over the rear wheel of my Motobecane.

The 400 Telyt (w/DSLR hanging off the back and shoulder stock) ride  
in a custom backpack on my back.

So far, so good...

We hereby admit to having installed the much-maligned swinging sticks  
called "kickstands" on said vehicles, and we're liking them for this  
kindof riding (often more "stop" than "go").

Have I set a new brand-name-to-common-word record for the LUG??
