Thanks for the link, Frank. I forwarded it to my dad, who has finally
stopped asking when the day will be that I get a 'real' bike.

So, you ... I mean, your "acquaintance" ... head-on'd into
a car's windshield, eh?

That would be silly.
If ya wanna wear a helmet, just buy one and use the damn'd thing
without worrying about how tame & lame you think you'd
appear to other people. Fer cryin' out loud, yer on a
/bicycle/ already! That sez "meek & mild" from the get-go,
if that's your mindset.

I hope not. But if such buckets existed, I'd go for one
with devilish goat horns on it, and festoon the horns with
oakleaf & mistletoe clusters.
If you really wanna look ballsy while riding your bike,
do it while wearing full Scot's regalia. But stay outa
car's windshields. We don't wanna see the aftermath of
the forward thrust of yer kilt. At least, don't let
your skeindo flop out. That would be most embarrassing.
Oy, the way some people worry about appearances!

You oatmeal savages are certainly entertai ... engaging.
Dare I ask -- what's in your left soch?
A U-lock? Maybe a mini-pump? A brace o' pistols
'n a tin o' sardines? Couple o' joints 'n a
Jethro Tull "Benefit" CD?
cheers,
Tom
Truth is: Scots are lovely, friendly people.
Same as everybody else.
Hadrian built a wall to keep the Scots from
befriending the Romans too much.
It wasn't much of a wall. The Romans were
eventually befriended anyway, to their horror.
Don't mess with Scotland.
