A new thread about cycling
Lunchbox:
Yeah, I have fallen off bikes a couple of times and the helmet cops a lot of the brunt. I am glad for helmets even though they make you look silly!

Well, I don't actually have a car, so...
Drill King:
I really love to cycle, however my town has far too many hills to make it enjoyable. And the city I'm moving to is essentially built on a big hill and the drivers there are fucking insane and hate cyclists(Halifax)

The bus rear ended me so my bike slid out under me and I went flying/rolling through an intersection smashing my head several times along the way. If it wasn't for the helmet my brains would have been paint on the road.

You know, I keep hearing and reading stories about helmets saving people's lives, but I still refuse to wear one. I don't know why, probably just stupidity.
I do however plan on retiring my shoe and getting real brakes. Rather, I'm still going to wear the shoe, but I'll have real brakes too, you know, to have the option.
If I find a camera before this thread dies, I'll post a picture.
Or necropost. People like that around here.

Paul, what the hell are you? Some kind of bicycle-riding amphibi-man?
My boyfriend rides a lot of downhill bikes, and he built his own carbon-fiber frame recently. He also designed a continuously variable transmission to go with it. Basically I am second banana to all bikes, therefore I am jealous of them and refuse to ride them.
Here he is on his Bike of Adventure.
