I like to dress like a spandex super hero - its almost like being naked in public without the risk of sunburn
.
I just wish they would wear capes on the tour.
Hmmm.......Capes + Spokes + speed.
(heh) Probably NOT a good Idea.
Just google Isadora Duncan:
(From Wikipedia.....
".....when Falchetto drove off, Duncan's immense handpainted silk scarf, which was a gift from Desti and was large enough to be wrapped around her body and neck and flutter out of the car, became entangled around one of the vehicle's open-spoked wheels and rear axle. As The New York Times noted in its obituary of the dancer on September 15, 1927, "Isadora Duncan, the American dancer, tonight met a tragic death at Nice on the Riviera. According to dispatches from Nice Miss Duncan was hurled in an extraordinary manner from an open automobile in which she was riding and instantly killed by the force of her fall to the stone pavement."[6] Other sources describe her death as resulting from strangulation, noting that she was almost decapitated by the sudden tightening of the scarf around her neck."
Anyone who has watched "The Incredibles" knows that capes have been the downfall of many "supers"
