at least you'd be dead after smacking a pinyata filled with nitroglycerin, not covered in poo.

with respect to our discussion on handlebar tape, i got an idea from one of the ladies at urbane yesterday who said she has wrapped her bars with tennis racket grip. apparently it comes in all sorts of leather (perforatted) and costs much, much less than the brooks tape. about $10-15 will do a set of bars. i may look into it when i get back from holidays.
