At about 6 miles into a ride with my gf on Friday afternoon, we stopped for a quick seat post faff, at which point , having not noticed, she asked me where my lid was. As I awkwardly ran my fingers through my hair I realised I'd left it in the van.
As one who always rants on about the importance of such things - smashed lid following big off etc- imagine how difficult it was when , as we got back to the car park, we met a mum and dad with a child of about 4. The child was sporting a helmet and was obviously in the throes of being told how cool it looked and that the lady there has one on and her husband..................doesn't.
Each to their own, I m adamant about that, but oh boy I did feel like a bit of a fraud !
Did anyone die or seriously hurt themselves?
I believe at least one kitten has to, as a direct result of this
OP, you could've gone over and told the kid that you'd forgotten your helmet and that you'd come back early because of that - then you'd only be a bullshitter and that's perfectly acceptable round here
Nothing fluffy or feathered was harmed during this incident. I didn't die. The kid hadn't a clue what was going on. Many know that I'm full of shit anyway .
Well, at least that's one potential rotational injury avoided...
I consciously decided not to wear a lid this morning when I bimbled approximately a mile on my BMX to fetch my missus's car from the pub...
Nobody died even though I did at least three bunny hops and a half arsed manual... I iz well rad innit.
Rode about 12 miles today with the kids on the canal bank. No helmet or gloves or padded shorts. Arse a bit tender so lesson learned.
I went for a 6 mile towpath ride today and didn't wear a helmet which was a big mistake. Hailstorm struck and made my ears sting.
