Ahhh, the bib mousse! Didn’t realize that Bell made cheapass versions of those. Extra funny that the instructions show you to put it on with screwdrivers.

The comments are pretty good.

Thanks for this laugh. What a strange man…

Perfect example of my theory that the world would be a better place if more people minded their own business more often. His rationalization of it just being journalistic curiosity, or however he worded it, is BS. There’s definitely some judgement there about her sans-helmet activities.

And that was his first post! Imagine if he showed up here with that shit.

Pretty certain I know who he is talking about. We worked together and didn’t really get along but it was a pretty toxic environment. Anyway, she is a sweet person. But regardless this is gross. Ugh.

that would be as close to a first-post ban as we’ve ever gotten for a non-spammer

*exceptions made for when the bicycle actually has a issue that needs addressing.

Few weeks ago I let a cyclist know that his rear rack lost a bolt at the dropout eyelet. Every bump caused the rear rack leg to get really close to flopping between some spokes. :grimacing:

I also prefer to let someone potentially maim themselves than let them know of the problem.

we saw someone on a rental mtb with the rear derailleur slightly unthreaded from the hanger over the summer… it was a couple, both all in full rental gear (helmets/pads/etc) and i let them know, but they didnt really know much about bikes, so i ended up also getting out my multitool and fixing it for them.
