Poor poor baby, you have to lug around a super heavy bulky helmet...why not take the bus so you don't have to ride the cumbersome bike around? I mean after all you have to:
Get off the bike, lock it up at the coffee shop or carry it in;
unlock bike,
ride to work,
get off bike and lock it up or carry it in,
unlock bike,
ride to meeting with client
lock bike up again, or carry around @ client meeting
unlock bike,
ride to lunch spot,
lock up bike of carry around @ lunch spot
unlock bike,
ride back to work
lock up bike or carry around @ work,
unlock bike,
ride to grocery
lock up bike or carry around @ grocery
unlock bike
ride home
carry bike around @ home
get bike out of house
ride to date
lock up bike or carry around @ date...
lose date because you don't have a car and she thinks you're weird for not having one.
