Don't run red lights, wear a helmet, use hand signals, get some cycle lights(front and rear) and, FFS, don't run red lights!

Why don't you take the tin foil off your head and put it up your A** and post something worth reading.

Tin-foil hat? Not at all, not in SSFG, at least. This forum is where the most gratuitous BS is being spewed for the sake of entertainment and relaxation. This thread is a good example. SSFG people are, undoubtedly, pretty relaxed - perhaps the kind of brain-relaxedness that comes from enjoying riding your bike without thinking about shifting gears. OK, I'm overanalyzing it.

Anyway, ride on, post on, live long and be happy.

That's what I thought - a few off the scale posts temporarily skewed my judgement but glad to see we seem to be back on track.
