Riding a bicycle has many advantages.

As you do not have to register bicycles or obey any road rules, I am currently constructing a four person family bicycle which consists of two bicycles welded together with four armchairs in between.

Due to the extra weight, I have added an engine and am devising a roof, doors and storage area at the back allowing us to ride in all weather conditions and take it shopping.

Road safety is an important component and basic precaution needs to be undertaken.

Once when I was riding my bicycle at great speed, I developed speed wobble and was thrown, rolling several times and sliding several metres, towards a busy intersection. I was lucky enough not to enter the flow of traffic thanks only to friction.

As bicycles do not come with safety airbags, I now carry an inflatable raft and pump with me at all times. A lot of people choose not to ride a bicycle because they are too embarrassed to wear a crash helmet but by painting the helmet light brown, it can easily be disguised as a large mushroom.

  • Nice.

    Takes a while to realise this is humour, eh DDD? The history is a bit of a giveaway.

    Now where can I get one of those bikes made from "titanium composite alloy frame such as NASA uses on the space shuttle"?

    His emails are wonderful, I'm not sure if they're fake.

    That is definitely a favourite site of mine.
    So incredibly harsh and brilliantly amusing.

    Either humour has evolved to encompass a younger generation I simply cannot relate to. Or I'm getting old... :shock:

    Fair point though... my bad.

    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

    Did DDD make a post that was deleted?

    He seriously thought this was for real?

    Good grief, DDD, let me introduce you to satire, you may not recognise it!

    Guffaw.

    "Hello satire, my name is Dondaddyd, how are you?"

    "Oh your female, lets date?"

    "What do you mean you were joking?"

    Satire is that like a small mythical creature with goats legs and horns on its head?

    It bit me.

    That was a little biting satyr
