I saw a guy this summer who had flashers going on his bike. Like hazard lights, but he had them on as he was going down the highway.

Friggen' just take the car !!!

I see people wearing the brightly colored safety vest and wonder about that too. Does the military require that now ?

I'd hate to have to wear that too.

Doesn't the military now have a step system for riders? Making them start small?

I thought they also required the vests I see a boat-load of them being warn when I'm near fayette-nam

this thread cracks me up... how fucking hard is it to wave... why is it such a big deal...

I wave at any and all... shit I'll wave to bicycles and motorcycle or bicycle cops.

Hell yesterday I had about 10 people wave to me from their yard, the church parking lot, or a car on my way to the single track...

Ebbs, I see hundreds of bikes a day..

When I lived in the sticks the wave was the coolest thing ever.


Now its a distraction.

That is because everyone loves you ebbs and they just want to say they got to wave to you. I know that is how I'd feel.

Plus One to those modulators. They drive me up the wall.
