    Hi Bill Spight -

    >Yes, it can quite uncomfortable if your bicycle does not fit. Don't slip
    >off. ;-)

    Bicycle fit is indeed important. And there are many schools of thought
    about how to fit one's bicycle to one's body and riding style.

    This sort of fit, however, seems to be what is talked about- the fit of
    maleable items to one another.

    I really don't think life, nature, and evolution work like wrenches and
    parts catalogs....

    And I'm not sure memetics has such resources either.
