Update: I'm NOT interested in a helmet flame war here, so I'm closing comments.

saddle looks a little low too ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, she actually looks like she knows what she is doing, aside from not wearing a helmet, of course.
ReplyDeleteThe saddle is not just too low, the whole bike is too small. She needs another 3-4 inches on the top tube.
ReplyDeleteThat bike does look pretty tiny on her, doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteWhy would she need a helmet? She's just riding a bike, not doing something that is on record (unlike biking) for particularly high casualty rates due to head injury in mishaps, like riding inside an automobile...
ReplyDeleteKnow what you're talking about to avoid falling into the trap of making silly comments.
Erik, buddy, I hate to burst your bubble but I'm firmly in the camp that helmet use is often unnecessary, especially for low speed biking like Pink appears to be doing. And saying people are "stupid" for defending un-helmeted cycling is uncalled for here at Cyclelicious.
ReplyDeleteSalesperson: Well, we do have this pink bike, but it is too small for you...
ReplyDeletePink: Great, I'll take it.
Consider it retracted, Fritz. But I'm still gonna wear my helmet even when riding slow.
