Ha I just spent a week in NOLA. I'm glad my wheels and ass could take the abuse.

I did eat **** big time last night from a big bump, at 20mph. I don't know how people ride with speed here

I thought New Orleans was a deep pot hole. At least the part below sea level.

Oh my, his rear tire appears to be low. Maybe it's just me though.

What is significant about this photo, is that the bike has fenders! Think they are keeping his feet dry????

I don't think so. It's my understanding, that by noon they had to take to the street again.. :D

Yeah, especially at the beginning, where the guy is explaining something like it's a news report.

I'm surprised wet foo commuter, didn't give lite-blue bike fishin' man the boot for lack of an early warning - kept his cool though. Maybe wet-foo is still in shock, or wondering iffin they just waxed the floors at the office..

Humorous POV translation:
Foreground man: "Watch your step, please." ;)
Cyclist: "Ouch! Now you tell me" :mad:

I wouldn't be surprise if that's what they did say.

Or:

Foreground Man: Are you clazy! You on sidewalk!!

Cyclist: I hate Mondays..

Foreground Man: Looks like front fork is bent..

Clearly, there would not have been as big of a problem had the cyclist been wearing a helmet.
