so its like "Lolly*vroom*pop lolli*vroom*pop oooh lolli lolli *vroom*pop"

hahahaha... what kind of fruitcake sings lollipop in their helmet?!?

I also often force myself to relax with long slow breaths when riding hard, which would probably sound creepy as fuck to other riders

I can think of a few instances in which it would have been VERY handy, even assisting with safety... and a number of other instances in which it would have been just fun to communicate what's going on with more effeciency than hand signals.

Points taken.

I guess most of the rides I do with other people we'll rip a road we like a couple times, get some food, trek over to another road, rip it a bit, etc.... so it's not like we're ever riding for that long at once without a stop sign to check on people and such.

The safety or heads up thing makes some sense OSP... however I never ride in groups large enough that the rear person wouldn't be able to see the front group. Usually it's 4 or 5 of us at the most... when I come upon something I kick out a foot to give people a heads up if there's sand or whatever.
