With pussified thinking like that, it's a wonder this country (and
others) aren't full of shut-ins who are afraid of their own friggin'
shadow. Don't drive, or the odds are higher that you will be killed or
injured!

Go spend your money on marketing hype for instant gratification.
Someone has to put food on those scam artists' plates. Just don't let
me catch you being a jackass on the trail in front of me. No *****
armor will save you from the taunting I will give you and if you don't
go away, I shall taunt you a second time!

Now go back to the gym or wherever it is you fell out of to act stylish
or whatever it is you do on a bike, newb:
