The kids without helmets are doing it because they're immortal. Safety devices are for other people, you know, the "other people" who get hit by cars.

Quoth Whiskey View PostWhen I get a bike, i swear to god I'm going to fit it with enough strobe lights to put the LA Raver scene to shame. DONT HIT ME
As a driver, when it comes to bike lights, I find his combination of a flashing light on the bike to draw the eye (not that he needs the help!) and his reflective clothing giving a good, solid light to judge distance from, is ideal.

Quoth Whiskey View PostI was joking about the strobe lights, ya'll, dang.
I am, however, saving up for a bike of my own so that I can go to the cinema in tourist season without having either:
1) An hour's round trip if I walk.
2) A £7 each way taxi fare because the rates get hiked in tourist season, or
3) A minimum of £1 an hour parking, exact change per hour required, with probably a 10 minute walk on top of that, as the cinema's near several popular pubs/clubs."It is traditional when asking for help or advice to listen to the answers you receive" - RealUnimportant

I'm one of those people that just doesn't understand why cyclists wouldn't wear helmets. Granted, that's because I had a near-fatal bike accident when I was a kid, only saved from a serious head injury because I was wearing a helmet. (Worst I got was a really sore shoulder, this.close from separating it.)
Even knowing that some cyclists (kids and adults alike) are arrogant about the belief that "Nothing will ever happen to me/I'm immortal!", I still can't wrap my head around it.PWNADE(TM) - Serve up a glass today! | PWNZER - An act of pwnage so awesome, it's like the victim got hit by a tank.
