I was giving the cycling cap thing a go. Haven't used it much since then, kind of a hassle to deal with.

This is obviously right before you had to dump.

It's possible, I was leaving a picnic. But I think that's just how my face looks.

Squirrelli 07-26-10 06:03 PM

I thought that picture was nice, I like seeing people taking pictures on their bikes. Awesome pic, nonetheless.

I have a cycling cap but I've never used it, maybe in the winter I will but not in the summer.

I'd be banned from the tall bike club by wearing one

Yes, I have a huge head.

Not as huge as my dready melon. I had to take one of my old ProTec skate helmets (size XL) and scrape out some of the foam in the back. I still have to squeeze the damn thing on.

Wouldn't that be the circumference?

No, inseam. You bore a hole into the center of your head, and measure the radial distance. That's the only way to accurately fit a helmet.

TheBikeRollsOn 07-26-10 07:15 PM

I think you're making a joke. If so, then it's a funny one. If not, then... oof.

squeegeesunny 07-26-10 07:30 PM

Actually, you can just find the circumference and then divide the number by pi; which will give you the diameter.

Middle school math ftw.

Only if your head is perfectly round. College math ftw

I've started wearing mine lately.

no helmet, not because they're bulky or look silly, mostly because I have nothing super important live for.

Squirrelli 07-26-10 08:21 PM

How old are you?

I can't tell if you're kidding?

crackrocksteady 07-26-10 09:08 PM

naw im not, if your worried about your own safety, by all means wear a helmet.

xkillemallx16 07-26-10 09:11 PM

if that was completely honest get some help bro.

damnpoor 07-26-10 09:12 PM

I'd never ride my bicycle without a helmet just the same as I'd never ride my motorcycle without one just the same as I'd never drive without a seatbelt. I may die doing something really stupid but I'll be damned if it's from not wearing a helmet.

"Bro"s aside, I gotta agree with this. Always got something to live for, even if it's just another bike ride.

crackrocksteady 07-26-10 09:19 PM

its just life guys :/

try not to take it so seriously lol

cg1985 07-26-10 09:20 PM

*grmple* [unintelligble mumbling] suicide watch... [more rambling] *grumble*

Squirrelli 07-26-10 09:23 PM

That was probably one of the most stupid things I've ever heard in a long while. If you think you're cool by saying, then you missed it by a long shot. I mean, health is all you ****ing have, I'm happy I'm not your friend in real life. If I hear one of my friends died because of a bicycle accident, I think a huge chunk of me will die and fade away.

Seriously, what the ****.
