lordwinslow2 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Something about like this, was it?: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2001/12/28/ Walk it off, walk it off... Well Scott, now you can guilt your kids into helping you with your projects. After all they must be guilty about what happened, use that to your advantage. Don't over do it, you don't want to be sent to an old folks home in Alaska in your golden years... Winslow Link to comment
scott Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 alas, i was only doing a simple drop; nothing worthy of a fancy name. alaska sounds good, though... Link to comment
bill937ca Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 alaska sounds good, though... even when its -40? Link to comment
scott Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 by august, -40 will sound better than +95 :-P Link to comment
Lawrence Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Just natures way of telling you to leave stuff like that to the youngsters Scott Hope it heals quickly for you Link to comment
Bernard Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Scott - it's official Spring is here....this is the time of year when I usually visit the emergency room room. Hope your prognosis goes well and you heal quickly. Link to comment

Martijn Meerts Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I've been wanting to get my mountainbike to the shop for a good checkup for a while, but somehow I never get around to it.. Definitely need to man up and do it though, it's a shame to have it just sitting there calling dust ;) Link to comment
scott Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 just make sure they install an ejector seat... Link to comment

Definitely need to man up and do it though, it's a shame to have it just sitting there calling dust ;) I bike to work sometimes. Morning inbound is all downhill, I just accelerate to about 20-30 or so and merge with traffic. Funnnn. Afternoon is, of course, all uphill. I huff and puff through residential streets while black children stare at me from porches. Link to comment
Bernard Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 just make sure they install an ejector seat... They do make protective inflatable vests http://www.ioffer.com/i/airtronics-inflatable-motorcycle-safety-vest-152440376 Link to comment
scott Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 That thing must work great, esp. since there are never any sharp objects in traffic accidents... Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Biking to work uphill on my bike isn't recommendable.. It's designed to go down slopes of uneven terrain :) I did ride it to and from work a few times back in Norway though, VERY exhausting .. Link to comment

Martijn Meerts Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yeah, in the Netherlands I'm going to have to find some man-made hilly mountain bike trials.. Although, we do have some quite hilly area's in the south, there's even professional cycling going on there :) Tour de France has even been through there I believe (and don't ask me what the Tour de France is doing outside of France, I never figured that out either ;)) Link to comment
