Many years ago, I had a neighbor who was reportedly seen rounding a
corner in his MGB while simultaneously double-clutching, waving at a
friend on the opposite side of the intersection, and selecting a
different station on the radio.

You drive to the top of the hill that you usually bike up, and you attempt
clip out of the gas pedal at the stoplight, then reach for the water bottle
that isn't there.

What a load! But I wouldn't want to deter gents like you from airing
your dirty laundry.

My last basic no frills, but good quality motorcycle helmet cost me around
$150. If I still rode a motorbike, I'd have no problem paying three bills
for something more comfy. With bicycles for casual use, I don't see any
need.
