LOL! I tried to tell him that it's not a doddle around the parking lot on a bike - it's like putting your head out of a car window at 25mph, because that's how fast you'd be going. He gave me a "Yeah, riiiight" look.

Heck-no! I took 'em off before this morning's crit, raced, then put them back in again. I'll try them on a social-paced ride first.

Some of my rides are "social-paced" events, and I always have trouble hearing people while riding. On training rides, though, I agree - it's "shut up and ride!"
