Is that a helmet (of sorts)? I have seen the occasional statement to the effect that a helmet has no efficacy. Someone should tell the fool.il padrone wrote:Vintage rocket-powered bikes. It seems a sprung leather saddle is an essential requirement

It would not be at all strange if history came to the conclusion that the perfection of the bicycle was the greatest achievement of the nineteenth century.

With this one you wouldn't ever need a rear light or reflectors.
