Bridge shuttles?
« on: February 19, 2005, 09:36:25 pm »
In several Tour Journals I have read about Cyclists stopping and waiting for a "Shuttle" at bridges where Cyclists are forbidden.
From whence come these shuttles?
Are they a commercial operation, or just Good Samaritans that give you a lift?

And lastly, what is "Oatmeal"?

Hi Max,

The shuttles are run by whatever transportation authority operates the bridge. I like them; they are a good break from cycling and a chance to chat with some locals while riding across in a pickup truck.

Oatmeal is a breakfast cereal made by boiling milled oat flakes. Easy to carry, nutritious, and CHEAP. What do you call it in Oz?

Mostly Carbohydrate I suppose?

Yes, the good kind found in most grains. Also a good source of minerals and--when fortified--vitamins. Enter oatmeal here http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/
for more than you ever wanted to know about oatmeal nutrients .

Max,
Try also http://www.quakeroats.com/, the US largest producer of oatmeal products. Oatmeal also reduces bad colesterol, and according to the box of what I had this morning, (It's winter here in Minnesota) the nutrients stay. Basically you are just rehydrating the oats, so it all stays in the bowl anyhow!

Ride safe,
Hans

OK Fred, that all sounds good. Except i know that when they Pasteurise canned or concentrated orange juice it kills most of the Vitamin C. So I thought maybe....

Well - so much for the oatmeal.  Now we're all experts.  What about the shuttles?  I'd like to know the answer to that one, too.

Try steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats for a truly wonderful hot oatmeal cereal.
