Helmets

Initially, I had intended that this blog be updated on a daily basis. Sadly, that has fallen by the roadside as rapidly as my determination to cycle every day. Still, it's time to get back on that horse...er bicycle, and I'm heading to the bike shop today for some padded trousers.
I've resisted the padded cycling shorts for a while, and I can't really remember why. I guess I prefer the all-natural look, rather than the padded rear. Aw yeah baby, that's all Brendan.

Anyways, that's later, but let me just talk about bicycle helmets for a bit:
Someone gave Katie a bumper sticker that says, "You'd Look Hotter in a Helmet." This is not true. Had the bumper sticker said, "You look like a complete dork in that helmet", then I would probably added it to the sticker collection on the back of the Subaru, but it didn't make the cut. Helmets are dorky.
I guess that's the reason I don't ever see the cool kids wearing them. Fixies, skinny jeans, unsightly ass-crack: you better believe that dude ain't going to mess his bangs up with a helmet.

Myself, I've never been cool, just cold occasionally, so I wear my helmet. Katie once tried to tell me (after I got all self-righteous about the issue) that not wearing a helmet makes you ride more safely, and thus be less likely to get into an accident, but somehow I still don't get to buy a motorcycle.
