Darn near, Mayf.   We got a foot or more of snow yesterday and I was  
in the doldrums.  Which to do -- run the little electric snowshovel to  
clear a path to the garage to run the big snow-throwing tractor -- or  
ask the group a question that'll provoke some thought and stimulating  
responses?

Q.E.D.  I had no agenda - with bike tires we don't have nearly the  
options available in re: diameter, width, etc.
