I finally did it

[Mudcat]

I went bicycling wearing a bicycle helmet. First time. The plan is to do it always from now on.

I have officially begun that phase of my life.

Good job Muddy. When you get blind sided by a dump truck, be thankful you were wearing a helmet.

 

[MrMonkey]

Pics so I can LMAO! Please!

 

[Mudcat]

That's the thing. I look at myself with the helmet on and I think, "ohmygawd what a choad," and I just want to punch myself.

I'm sure it's not bad as I imagine. I see people out there with bicycle helmets all the time and I don't give it a second's thought.

But when I look at myself I swear I can hear Nelson in the background.




Pic to follow. Maybe.

Head trauma is far and away the leading cause of death for cyclists. Good job Muddy. You don't look like a choad, you look like someone who does not want to die.

 

[Mudcat]

Right. I look like someone who places intellect above coolness issues. That's who I should be. I don't know what took me so long to get here but that's who I am.

 

[reno cool]

yeah, I always see those choads, usually in groups, fly be me like 40mph. I'm always yelling at them at the light: "oh there they are, the fucking little pricks, with their precious little heads, and their precious little helmets".
They think since they got all this equipment they can fly around like maniacs. Just like those morons in the huge trucks and suv's.

 

[Mudcat]

I can't tell if I have just been affirmed or insulted.

Just in case:

First is helmet. Next is Anal.

 

[RayRay]

First is helmet. Next is Anal.

nah...first is helmet, next is banana seat...Then Anal!

 

[Mudcat]

First is helmet. Next is Anal.

No, you're a helmet.

 

[Mudcat]

So I have been wearing my helmet consistently - it is a matter of habit now - but I just realized something this morning. Well I'm not totally positive but I'm 90% sure I have been wearing it backwards this whole time.

 

[roguejuror]

That's a serious safety hazard. Muddy pay more attention.

 

[Mudcat]

I'm not sure. I'll have to get a second opinion from chicky-poo.

They are so retarded these helmets anyway. They are just like a bunch of stuff piled way up on top of your head. I don't see that they protect much whatever way you wear them. They just protect the absolute crown of your head. Something like a hockey helmet would protect much better I would think.

I don't know. This whole issue has got me rattled.

 

[RayRay]

damnit mudday, show us some fawking pictures...let us decide the direction it looks more pimp

 

[roguejuror]

Yeah we need visuals to be your third opinion.

 

[Mudcat]

Okay, okay - gimme a few minutes . . .

 

[Mudcat]

I believe by going through the process of taking these pics I have gotten my answer, but I'll go head and post anyway. Let me know what you think is correct.


So here is the helmet. The question in should the point be at the front or back?

And here I am modeling both styles. Point to the back:

Point to the front:
