Am I invisible?

[taterguy]

Four asshole drivers cut me off and almost hit me when I was on my way home from work.

Maybe I shouldn't wear all-black clothing if I'm gonna be riding my bicycle home after sunset.

:shrug:

[Parche]

1. were they all minivans?

:shrug: :hi:

[taterguy]

2. Minivans with boxed wine spilling out of them

Naturally

[Parche]

3. did they pepper you with Pedegg shavings?

:shrug: :hi:

[taterguy]

5. Do you know how difficult it is to get that crap out of your hair?

[Parche]

8. i heard it was a minivan from virginia with philboy in the passenger seat

:woohoo: :hi:

[taterguy]

10. Philboy hasn't left his basement since 1982

[LeftyFingerPop]

4. Duct tape a flashlight to your ass.

[taterguy]

6. I'm safely home now

But that sounds like fun so I'll try it

[Shine]

7. Duh, the black clothing is not conducive to being seen.

:D

glad you didn't get hit. Get one of those blinking light thingies.

Be safe out there and wear your helmet, too! :hi:

Love,
Mom

[taterguy]

9. You expect me to walk around with "Helmet Hair"?

I'd rather die.

[Shine]

11. Hopefully you won't die from NOT wearing one

they don't call 'em "brain buckets" for nuthin, ya know.

[taterguy]

12. That's why I always carry a spare one

[Shine]

13. LOL.

ewww.

:rofl: "Made in China"

[taterguy]

15. You don't expect me to pay full-price do you?

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Not yet, but we're working on it.

:thumbsup:

[taterguy]

16. You had your chance

All you had to do is poke a hole in my water bottle when I was down in the Devil's Corkscrew.

No one ever would have known what happened and the vultures would have enjoyed a tasty meal.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. Maybe it was the same asshole driver

and four failed attemts.

Black clothing is not good enough. you need urban camo. Maybe a ghillie suit with tin cans and wine bottles attached.

Drive safe, drive stealthy.

:hi:

[kentauros]

18. Yeah, the "Johnny Invisible Pedestrian" costume is never a good idea

:P

19. When I ride my bike after dark

I have a very bright LED headlight (that is in flashing mode on the brighter busier streets) and a bright flashing LED taillight and a bright orange reflective vest. Drivers dont' expect bicyclists after dark, so best to make yourself as visible as possible.

[Kajsa]

20. Did you have your headlight on?

What about taillights?

If it's after dark, you need to make yourself visible,

otherwise you are invisible to motorists.

[taterguy]

22. I was smoking a cigarette

I figure the ember at the end of it provides plenty of illumination.

[Kajsa]

24. LOL!

you are a strange bird, Taterguy.

:D

[redqueen]

21. Your subject line made me think of Burt Campbell.

[Fire Walk With Me]

25. Heh..

Taterguy can now visit any women's locker room he pleases.

(For the humor impaired: That was a classic Steve Martin sketch.)

[taterguy]

26. Well I could if I didn't sneeze so much

[Jamastiene]

23. Hello?

I can hear you, but I cannot see you. Zoom! :evilgrin:

Sorry to hear people damn near ran you off the road. That happens to me a lot too...and I drive a car.

[taterguy]

30. I use this spiffy little horrn when I need to be heard

Cars can't hear it but it's good for alerting joggers and walkers on the local multi-use trail

[MrCoffee]

27. Can someone tell me what this post says?

:shrug:

[peruban]

28. I sure as hell can't see you.

So you must not exist.

[taterguy]

29. I wish the people I owed money to felt that way
