Dear list-posters,

As a cycling instructor I find this list interesting and valuable, but 
almost unreadable because of excessive quoting.

...
> There are 16 messages totalling 2009 lines in this issue.

These 2009 lines result because you are not removing your quotes at the 
end of your answers. The quotes ping-pong back and forth, greatly 
inflating the email digest, making it poorly readable and wasting a 
great deal of computer resources. It ends up looking like this (pages 
and pages):

...
>>>>>>>>>are
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>encouraging bad cycling habits, are all worthy of investigation, but

>>>>>>>>>>more detailed questions such as the above, and all the various design

...

Please therefore remove your quotes except for the lines which are 
relevant. Thanks!
