There’s a “Van Sweringen Owners Bunch” on Flickr?

That’s awesome!!!! My close friend that i work with in my bike shop, he has read the first two books one night and the next day he looked at me and said, “You are so him,” I said, “what? oh i guess i am, i never thought about that.” I have done so many of the same things, I hate driving and cars, and refuse to get my drivers licence, I have wanted to paint bike lanes, (but never had the money too), i have a bike just like his, (not the same company of course, mines a Miyata seventen), and Jim is a lot like Joe, the only difference is that he is our Jr. Grease Monkey of the bike shop. Just thought that was a funny thing, I may not look quite like him but inside I am.

Someone once (and here my memory has let me down because I couldn’t tell who who or when) posted a photo of cyclist, coplete with beard and cap, that was the dead spit of Yehuda.

It’s a magic foam hat.

I follow ‘BentRider Online’ and they had a link to the picture of the car.

Considering that on a moped (sp?) you need to wear a full face motor cycle helmet.
And those things reach speeds of up to 40 Km/h (legally that is).
That’s pretty easy for anyone on a racing bike (or recumbent).
I seriously wonder if a foam hat would offer the kind of protection in a crash that a proper motor bike helmet would.

On the contrary, I shall make sure that you do. I will have a note in my wallet with instructions to send the bill for any brain surgery to Paul Leiter.
Luckily for both of us the chances of me ever needing brain surgery are very, very small. Cycling isn’t that dangerous. It’s safer than walking, for instance.

That is correct – and as it should be.

People who don’t like the strips about helmet nanny-state-ism can hardly say they aren’t relevant. http://www.nugget.ca/Lifestyle/2012/09/19/20213461.html
