Do you ever juggle sharp knives while you ride?

Not safe for work
I juggle cats on my bike ride. I prefer the feral, one eyed, ragged eared cats for juggling but I will use rabid raccoons if the cats aren't available c

How about texting while eating a sandwich while splitting the lane during rush hour ?

Research has proven that wearing a helmet is effective while juggling sharp knives on a bike.
Just be sure it is adjusted properly.
Ask at your LBS.

Yes. Only at desolate MUPs or if they are very little cars around ( 1 or 2 per minute).
Next question please.

I'm pretty sure I read a study that showed that the overwhelming majority of people injured in bicycle accidents weren't juggling knives at the time. Draw your own conclusions.

I have in the past juggled hypodermic needles that I got from the sharps container here at work at the free STD clinic, while trying to reach back into my panniers to get the tape for the generator powered 8 track player attached to my rear rack while the bar mounted speakers are blasting 70's Bee Gee's music while riding north in the southbound lane of the freeway during the traffic let out of the local football team after a loss. Talk about hairy. I though people liked the Bee Gee's!

I like to strop my straight razor until it's good and sharp and then use it to remove my pubic hair. But only when riding at night without lights. I mean you wouldn't want to be seen and get arrested for indecent exposure. Doing it ninja, though...there's nothing like a fresh breeze on freshly dry-shaved skin. Ah, refreshing.

I start with blunt knives and spend my commute to work sharpening them with a sharpening stone I power off my front wheel so they are juggling sharp for the return journey, does that qualify?

I find that drivers pass greater than 3 feet from me if they see that
I am simply holding a large sharp knife in my left hand.
