@westward ho: @Xavoc: I miss roadtrips to Fairfield, the Amana Colonies, riding my bike down Grand Avenue, Stella's, Monterrey's, Dahl's, the big-ass Hy-Vee in Waukee, Billy Joe's Pitcher Show, Valley Junction, affordable rent and I really miss being skinnier than every one else. I moved back to DC, and suddenly, I'm big and beefy. Out in Iowa, I looked like Christian Bale in The Machinist. WTF?

]]> <![CDATA[Goldie Hawn: Helmeted, Death Proof]]> I would be very sad if we lost Goldie Hawn to a cycling accident, so I'm glad she's playing it safe.

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine was hit, while riding her bike in an urban setting, by a postal truck. She basically hit the curb headfirst, but she was wearing a helmet. So the moral is WEAR A HELMET!

]]> <![CDATA[Goldie Hawn: Helmeted, Death Proof]]> @Xavoc: Totally not the case. I guarantee it. Drivers just get used to certain behaviors from drivers, and don't recognize them as problematic.

Cyclists and drivers tend to break different rules for different reasons.

I see more bicyclists blowing through red lights and stop signs here than drivers.

I wanna know why famous people are riding crappy bikes, and why the shop let them out the door w/out putting some slicks on.

]]> <![CDATA[Goldie Hawn: Helmeted, Death Proof]]> @Xavoc: In response to that, I have a question for you:
Q. What do you call a bicyclist who doesn't wear a helmet?
A. An organ donor

Bike helmets became necessary around the time everyone started driving like a-holes who won't stop for a stop sign much less a kid on a bike. I'm glad to see Goldie setting a good example, and hope Kurt's life insurance is beefy and paid up.

]]> <![CDATA[Goldie Hawn: Helmeted, Death Proof]]> @blackbirdfly: They don't ride up yer crack. That's the point. Moves sweat away, compresses the muscles, pads the seat, and doesn't send fabric up the butt.

@Xavoc: Many, many cyclists HAVE suffered serious injury not wearing helmets. I've had to replace 3 in the past year. Admittedly, 2 were damaged from crazy mountain biking. But one got split when I got pushed off the road by a landscaping truck.

]]> <![CDATA[Goldie Hawn: Helmeted, Death Proof]]> @angelicola: I don't quite get that to be honest. Many, many children have ridden bikes for years without death or serious injury related to falling off one's transportation.

At what point did we decide it necessary to overprotect children from life?

]]> <![CDATA[Goldie Hawn: Helmeted, Death Proof]]> Quick! Somebody stop her! She stole Tom Cruise's speshul helmut and the aliens are going to escape!

Also, wtf? Kurt in an Iowa Cubs t-shirt? I've seen people wear major league team shirts, even famous people. But the shirt of a farm team? As a long-time supporter of the Iowa Cubs, and state resident, even I wouldn't be caught wearing such a shirt.
