Title: Helmet
Post by: iago on May 07, 2005, 03:12:53 am
As much as I hate it, I figured that, if I'm going to be riding my bike in traffic to/from work, I'd better buy a helmet.  I found a dark-blue one which doesn't look too bad and that fits well (my head is too big for most :))

My work is about a 75 minute bike ride, each way.  And it's down a busy street at rush hour.  I'd rather be safe than get injured, even if it looks silly :P

I usually take the bus, which has a lot of advantages:
- Lots of chicks on the bus
- I get time to read
- I get time to relax
- It's cheap

Problems with using a car:
- Parking downtown is very expensive
- Gas is very expensive ($4/gallon)
- Buying a car is expensive

Advantages of riding a bike:
- Exercise is good, I need it

Advantages of a cow:
- You look cool
- It'll be faster
- Won't have to mow the lawn
- Don't really have to be worried about someone stealing it
- You can wear a cowboy hat instead

- It's cheap
- You obviously don't get out much
- You can read all the road signs/bill boards/shop signs you want then you drive
- Cars/motorcycles have more comfortable seats
- It's smelly

Problems with using a car:
- Parking downtown is very expensive
- Gas is very expensive ($4/gallon)
- Buying a car is expensive
- *cough*bullshit*cough* Get a company spot
- For $19/hour you should be able to afford gas
- Get a used car!

Advantages of riding a bike:
- Exercise is good, I need it
- Okay, you got me there...

This argument is dumb, but ohwell

- You obviously don't get out much
- You can read all the road signs/bill boards/shop signs you want then you drive
- Cars/motorcycles have more comfortable seats
- It's smelly
- shush
- I read a book
- No they don't, they're at least as comfortable
- No they don't, not here anyway

- *cough*bullshit*cough* Get a company spot
- For $19/hour you should be able to afford gas
- Get a used car!
- This is downtown in a pretty big city, they don't have company spots.  Only one guy at work drives, and he pays a ton for his spot.  Everybody else bikes/busses.
- Just because I make money doesn't mean I should waste it
- No, I'm not going through that again.  I spent way too much money fixing my old car.

You bastard.  Why do you get good busses?  The shit ones I have to take home are smelly, dank, dark, and full of smelly ugly people.

In Boston we have a good bus system.  Get a moto-scooter for like 400 bucks.  And they hold about 1 gallon of gas and are about 100 miles to the gallon.

That picture makes you look like one of those people from the mental institution who have to wear helmets to keep from hurting themselves.

From Jay&Silent Bob, "Look, it's the kid in the helmet!" Actually, I think that was in a deleted scene, but still good.

think about it...bike = exercise = getting in shape after a while = he'll be a walking muscle & huge = he can beat anyone up that makes fun of his helmet = he is da pimp! = he can wear biker shorts = girls can check his arse out that way = iago wins the girls (all of them)

I like your plan!

I am actually quite strong, and I have good muscles.  I can still beat my friend in arm-wrestling and he goes to the gym several times/week for the last few years.  So yay :)

I just have to get rid of the fat and I'll be tough!
