Perhaps the bike computer’s extra CPU cycles could be used to control a 2-gang espresso machine stored, say, under the seat. Road bikers would need a way to prevent the guy or gal drafting you from pulling themselves a shot without offering you one, though.

Ooooohhhhhh! Top. Tube. Pad. I thought you were saying Tube Top Pad! I couldn’t figure out why a guy would need padding there. …but, um… there, now it makes sense. Safety is fun.

Fatty: As a sidebar… Were you directly bagging on ME for having the Thanksgiving Menu contest? For goodness sakes, I hope not! First off I haven’t even included a prize… yet… Im working on one though. Second, I really would like your potato(e) recipe to be a part of it, or your desert. Wait, then you’d have to win, probably… aww heck!

I think this might be your funniest bikeradar post so far. I’ll take 2… wait, can’t afford 2… can’t afford one. I’ll just take my chances then.

We did switch formula, which helped a lot. With the baby, not the biking.

I’m just recovering from last night’s crash; I am very sore and with a lot of stitches in my elbow. I think that you should design inflatable elbow pads, knees etc, or probable a whole astronaut like suite that inflates when you fall. That would have been handy last night.

I guess you’re too famous, busy and important to notice your zipper’s been down all day.

Vince — I feel your pain. Our kid was colicy, and it was unbearable. Non-stop crying from 3 PM to midnight, seven days a week for six months straight.

If the baby’s not being breast fed, you might think about trying a soy based formula. We switched to “Baby’s Only Organic Soy” from Nature’s One and it helped substantially. That and a 55 gallon drum of simethicone. And earplugs.

If switching formula is not an option, just have hope. It’ll get better.

Hmmm… What about that “Judge Dredd” helmet at the top of the Bike Radar article? Much cooler than my ugly polystyrene hairnet. I SO want one of those bad boys… Of course the ventilation might be a bit inadequate, but I’m sure something as futuristic as that has solar-powered air-conditioning.

Dear Mr Internationally Famous and Important FC (that should win a prize!!) – with all these safety innovations will we still have room for the Lazer Beam of Death. While a lot of your new devices deal with cyclist error and protection from these errors under Occ Health and Safety one of the first rules is to eliminate any hazard before it does any damage. I think the LBD’s still have a use here.
