I tend to keep cars away by attaching blades to my wheels roman chariot style.

I never juggle knives unless I have a helmet on. It's not if, but when it happens.

You know, if you go to Europe, you see people juggling sharp knives while riding all the time. Everyone does it - moms, repairmen, kids, businesspeople in suits.

Im too busy sweating and gasping for air, to juggle anything.
Besides, I don't wear a helmet and am doomed to fly off my bike sooner or later, crush my head as I am skewered with the knives.... and so ruin my organ donor status.

So, no.

Next question please.
This is, in fact, the correct answer.

This would be the correct answer, were this A&S. Good show, though.

Can we put a pole up to see what pattern what most people favor?
Personally for general commuting I like a nice Half shower But every once in a while I will change it up for The Robot or Chops depending on my mood and the song on my Ipod.

I should start doing this. Might keep the pedestrians from walking in front of me sometimes. Or perhaps it will just make things alot more interesting if not messy when they do.
