Wheeeee! (-ls)

Specifically, new ones.  I brought home a shiny new Gary Fisher Tiburon today.  It's built on a 20" frame, and I've already raised the seat another inch since we set it up at the shop.  It feels right now.  No wonder I didn't like any of the bikes we looked at elsewhere, which were all 15" to 17.5" frames.  I had them put a luggage rack and sidestand on it for me, and swapped the brake cables so the front brake is on the right, where I'm used to it being.

The smalls and I have been out riding twice today already.  I can get some exercise again, wheee!  ("Mercy, mercy," crieth my knees...)

you left out the automatic ones that some cars came with.

my firebird had a 3-point manually adjustment system, i wore it to keep me in my seat when i had it.

never drive a station wagon with a freshly armouralled vinyl bench without a seat belt lol, i made that mistake once and ended up driving from the passenger side.

i've never worn a bicycle helmet, so i have no opinion.

as for a full face helmet, the one i currently have weighs 3.5 pounds. i learned how to ride in southern california before the helmet laws, i never had any problems with headaches from the wind roar and i used to do aminimum of 85 on an old RD400.

helmets are one point where we're gonna have to agree to disagree.

Perhaps the moral is more "Never use ArmorAll on a vinyl bench seat". ;)

(Or on any seat, for that matter.....)
