I've taken enough tumbles to decide that it's probably a good idea, almost certainly not a bad one. The lid I was wearing today was actually company issued, but after some consideration and imaginary conversation, the company and I came to the mutual conclusion that it would be best if their name was not associated with my shenanigans, so I scratched off the decals.
Just sayin.
Anyhow, I loved your bike, helvetica. That's a machine meant to get things done. Respect!
I do, however, remember a dude with full Discovery kit and a sizable belly at the hot dog stand.
Dude, totally. And his kid (or grandson?) was also well-kitted. Start 'em early, that's what I always say.
