I was at a sporting goods store today helping my brother buy a new knife; Whilest there I found myself in the bike dept. where there was a man trying on helmets, a moment later I realized that he was trying them all on BACKWARDS lol. I said "your kinda wearing that backwards" to this he simply left to another part of the store, made my day.

When Giro first introduced their styrofoam and lycra helmets, a friend of mine started to ride away from a rest stop with his helmet on backwards. He had no idea why I had started to laugh so suddenly.

at the local bike park the other day there was a school trip and there was a little girl with a nice as Keewee(new zealand bike brand) with her helmet on backwards. its funny cos her bike was better than mine :(
Keewee bikes rule, my friend has a Cromo-eight.
I have seen so many people in K-mart looking at the dodgy bikes, I have even seen some where the forks are on backwars!

having your fork on backwars is bad
Yeah I know, it's nearly as bad as having it on backwards.

not quite as bad but not good nonetheless
lmao reminds me...
I was out on a paved trail along the American River, and i pass this old man, probable in his 80's, in an old suit, w/ a bow tie, nothing fancy. He's on an old cruiser, just chugging along. He almosted looked homeless :( He had the bottome of a Castrol GTX bottle ducktaped to his handlebars and it was olding an old radio. the best part was that he had an ancient, all stirofom Bell helmet on backwards :)
We named him Pump Master Flex :)

Haha, I actually saw a guy on a Trek 820 with his fork on backwards last Saturday. I've got a suspicion the bike was stolen, but I can't really explain why other than the bike looked new. He was in too of high a gear ratio, so he was leaning forward a bit to put his weight on the pedals. I really expected him to endo when he reached sidewalk at the other end of the crosswalk, but he managed to roll up the ramp ok.
