No helmet. Hands off the handlebars. Listening to music on your IPod. Looking around from time to time to see who's checking out your super-awesomeness.
Your douchey-looking hairdo isn't going to protect your brain when you get hit by a car you didn't hear coming, or you fall off your bike into the traffic lane with your hands still posed oh-so-casually behind your back.
The Mercury depends on your continuing support to provide articles like this one. In return, we pledge our ongoing commitment to truthful, progressive journalism and serving our community. So if you’re able, please consider a small recurring contribution. Thank you—you are appreciated!
