That is, until I hop on! And then, it's clearly the monkey bike... but I'm okay with that. Really.

(For my first significant trip with it I wore pants with zip-off legs, a T-shirt advertising my university's physics club and running shoes -- she just shook her head and pretended she didn't know me.)

What if you were to get an original Bell Biker helmets? That would be awesome. That was my first helmet and I wish I still had it.

Guess I should add a smily face to let you know I was kidding, huh? Hmmmm.
