I wonder if Sheldon ever wakes up and thinks to himself:
"Hmm... maybe today I won't be totally magical... maybe today I won't be a huge ray of sunshine for anyone that has ever thought fondly of a bike... maybe today I will just try not to be the apple of everyone on here's collective eye... hmm... maybe I'll just stay in bed and not do anything" and then he stays in bed, and he is still totally all those things. It's so comforting to know that there's a Sheldon in the world. Like, yeah, the world sucks and I'm angry a lot of the time... But, my gosh, that picture pretty much could make the frowning of a whole century dissappear. No joke. |
this was the thread I used to dread
Now it's the post I love the most |
thank you sheldon.

If you are specifically prepared, you're OK, again with or without.
Agreed, the mental portion is the biggest anyways. But if we compare apples to apples (equal reaction time), your brakeless friend will lose. Not to mention the additional time it takes to get your ass off the seat and lean forward to try to skid. |

i think it's about time to end this little argument. we all agree that we're going to die some day. and if i die in an accident, my life insurance pays double. more money for the illegitimate children that i may or may not have.

Wait, riding without brakes seems like suicide. God, why would you do something so dangerous. Then again Darwin had a point. Go for it. Take off your breaks and then don't wear a helmet either. You're just making the human race smarter.

Go back to the bridge you came out from under.

go back to the bridge from under which you came...out?

The ss/fixie threads have no use for grammar police. You get the idea. :D
