    what is the point of carrying a helmet??? anyway, i quite like it. i think this will also work if you put salt instead of clark then you can use it on icy road.

    More crap to spray over your nice frame plus chalk plus water = slippy goo, just what you need on your tyres :?

    Salt seems like a good idea for this. Very hard grinding salt to be that fine, also it would get damp very quickly.

    What about using glow in the dark chalk. that would be weird.

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    All well and good until it rains. Another site had this to say:
    Its provocative visual language lies somewhere between sky
    calligraphy, temporary street graffiti, and overlapping footprints in
    the snow.

    Oh for gods sake. Get over yourselves. :roll:

    Sounds like a good way to find a nice bike to steal:

    1) look for a contrail
    2) Follow*
    3) Profit!


    * obviously you have to follow it the right way, you could probably confuse the thieves by cycling on the wrong side of the road though?
