Yeah, I saw all the traffic on the Velolove listserv.
Movies, polo, parties ... wish I could have checked
some of that out. Oh, well. Maybe next time.

I don't think we have anything to invade the U.S. with,
except maybe entertainers, writers, journalists and
BC bud.

Helmets do not -- repeat do NOT-- do much to prevent serious head
injury...and may be doing a disservice by allowing the elected life forms to
believe that they are saving lives by forcing everybody to wear one...

I personally wear a helmet for the same reason I wear gloves and shoes...

....saves a whooooole lotta road rash on the bodily extremities when you
spill.

Who has also looked into wearing knee and elbow guards, but has decided
against them on aesthetic grounds...

They figure the ZooBombers are the world's first mini-bike gang.

They weren't quite ready for "Margaret Charles" as our answer for
