I’ll take a better picture tomorrow but this is what I’ve been knitting tonight: a lace, knitted, baby alpaca top-tube protector.
Alternate names include: bike cozy, frame warmer, bicycle scarf.
my boss at the bike shop had this game, he called it the idiot game. it was a simple game, you just had to yell idiot whenever you saw someone not wearing a helmet.
I think there are stupider things than not wearing a helmet.
Riding on the sidewalk.
Riding a mountain bike…
True facts: Being an automobile passenger without a helmet is more dangerous than being a cyclist without a helmet.
Is that really true? I feel like car passengers would get in more accidents, but the injuries sustained by a cyclist would be more severe.
Note the “I feel like.” I don’t actually know.
Nope, cycling is not only safer than driving, it’s virtually as safe as / safer than walking. It’s even safer than swimming.
