the modern trend in mountain bike design is to have a down-angled top bar on boys’ bikes

No joking, when I was about 8 I decided that the horizontal bar between the seat and the handlebars on boys’ bikes was so that they would have a place to lay their, um, thing on.

The optimism of youth.

Just sayin.

Did I say this out loud?

The kids’ helmets are not properly adjusted either. The one on the right has her helmet pushed too far to the back. The one on the left could push it down a bit more and he needs to cut or tuck in the chin strap.

OMG!!1!#!1 Obama’s not wearing a bike helmet!!!!!!1!!1! That’s almost as bad as being a racist right-winger!!1!

/end liberal screed

In the real world, who gives a flying **** whether he wears a bike helmet or not. I guess if you’re a liberal, things like the economy, the impending socialized medicine debacle, cap and tax, Iraq, and Afghanistan don’t really matter much. But if Obama doesn’t wear a helmet while riding a bike, now that’s an important issue.

I don’t like the guy either, but helmet laws SUCK.

I bicycle three to four thousand miles per year. I’m not in favor of helmet laws, but I’m definitely in favor of wearing a helmet while cycling. There have been four occasions during which the fact that I was wearing a helmet at least arguably preserved my ability to comment here.

And that religion would have to be Satanism. No Just or loving God would cause that freak accident.

You doubt me?

HCG – Actually, the modern trend in mountain bike design is to have a down-angled top bar on boys’ bikes.

As someone who’s had his “bells rung” more than once, I applaud this design innovation.

Is he riding a girls bike? It looks like the top tube is angled way down from any bike I have ever owned….

Marko, I bet Barry thinks Restrictor Plates are great. That is, after you explain them to him in kindergartner terms.

If you look closely, none of them are even riding. They're all just standing there ,pretending to be riding. Its just like Obama pretending to be useful as pres.

This is the perfect example of liberalism. Both of his kids are wearing helmets, but he is not. It’s do as I say, not as I do. “Oh, those rules count for YOU not me.”

innominatus,

Speaking of Obama pretending to be cool, the other day I saw a video of him meeting NASCAR drivers (good thing I don’t care about NASCAR anymore – real men drive sprint cars) at the White House. Jimmie Johnson hopped in his car and turned on the motor. Obama stood by, awkwardly, and quipped, awkwardly, “Now that’s an engine.” Doesn’t sound that bad if you can’t hear the painfully forced voice that That One was using. Funny and pathetic at the same time.

If you’ve seen a picture of him with a bicycle helmet on, you’ll know why Obama insists on keeping it off… For those of you who remember TGIF, think Did I Do That?

reminds me of how many pictures I saw of W riding his bike-like 1 in 8 years. A real bike, btw. A lot of the Secret service guys hated going to Crawford, because it meant trying to keep up with him on trail rides.

Well, I guess he figured he could pull off the helmet or the mom jeans but not both.

Obama doesn’t wear brain protection for the same reason women don’t wear athletic cups.
