"Tough shit, I'm a tram! You lose!"

LOL
Looks like fun.

Heh!!! 

Wouldnt it be fun if you were a tram driving biker that had been recently cleaned up, and got the old classic "But I didnt see you !! " from the prick?? 

Can I have that as a second job, just to clean up some SUV and White Van drivers.

Needs a cattle scoop thingy on the front. 

But otherwise, lotsafun! 

I am sure after many years of commuting you and Big would argue over who gets to fill in on sick days.

Yep!

I thought of you as I watched it... You only get to hit them on level crossings though, right?

down here I've gotten to see (and be seated on the tram a few times) some tram/car interaction....other than a jolt (if the brakes aren't applied by the tram driver in panic) you feel nothing...meanwhile...the car is missing half it's front end! The trams will go through ANYTHING...don't mess!

I am not perfect (stop it, it's true) and the last time I stuffed up on the bicycle a few years ago....I did it in front of a tram! not clever!

Yeah.
Bummer

OK so I am slowly getting throuh all these threads, and must add:

I am pretty sure that I won't get the Boss on a bike in Italy again ... a tram on the other hand ... I am sure she will be up for some of that!
