I feel like having the chainring being the first thing that will impact an object should you lose control, may be a design flaw.

I am trying to do a little parity of some behavior I sometimes see, so please do not inject logic, reason or reality into the discussion.....:)

Okay, that looks odd, but on a practical note, he'd be highly visible at night. That silver suit would reflect rather well and would keep the sun off in the day.

I'm curious where you'd look to get something like that actually, looked around for something that's hooded and long-sleeved/long-legged, the best I've seen seems to be bibs (which are sleeveless), or skinsuits (which come as long-sleeve but not long legs), neither of which are hooded so the back of your neck cops it from the sun.

Exactly. It's a specific type of seat, designed for a specific purpose, so we refer to it using it's specific formal title.

Bar stool
Pew
Throne
Deck chair
Mission chair
Wheel chair
Recliner
Beach chair
Chaise lounge
Ski lift
Captain's chair
Park bench
Cleopatra chair
Adirondack
Balans chair
Director's chair
Morris chair

Etc..........

And on bicycles, we find SADDLES. :)

It goes on your handlebar, replacing your right-hand grip. Twist it like a motorcycle throttle and it makes a "VROOM VROOM" noise. It might have been mechanical noise or battery-powered, I can't remember. It's what you wanted if you were a jackass in training, err, a kid in the late '80s where I grew up.

Mumonkan 07-26-15 12:00 PM

haha that is great, another thing i wouldve been all over as a kid

Ha ha ha. When we were kids we took regular playing cards and clipped them to the chain and seat stays using clothes pins. Once we figure out that two were louder than one, we'd pack the bike with as many as we could fit. So many that it created significant drag. LOL. It was loud a f*kn' hell.
