How will all the cool non-helmeted "Euro" wannabes do now to show how Euro they are now that the
real Euros wear helmets? -

Huh? That's not true. At least Holland too. France, Italy and Spain the only ones without? -

Since hairnet have still been legal in 6 days, I wonder if the ruling is comprehensive. I presume it
would be, but without seeing the actual wording of the rule, you can't be sure. -

You think people ride without helmets because they want to look "Euro?" Maybe a few do. But another
reason to ride without a helmet is that it feels better than riding with one.JT

Rasavino?). -

Will the helmets have to meet any safety standards? PTB, ISO, CE or something?
My team tried to use "Catlike" from Spain, and can't use em because they don't meet the US safety
standards, or haven't been submitted yet. Greg -

Lampre was wearing. Greg -

Hehe. I used to do a couple of sets each morning like this until I turned fifty. Seemed my knees
were taking a little to much strain after that.--

You could at least have cleaned the sidewalls, hyeah, that sidewall thread gave me a laugh, for obvious reasons..
i cleaned my bike really well once, after ronde champ complained about dirty bikes, but it only
lasted until i rode again. it immediately became mud covered, so i said, "screw this [censored]." now i
just clean the chain and brush the goop out of the little rings the chain goes on.this bike only cost $200 total, so one can see that i'm not too motivated to protect my
"investment", although i am fond of my bike (and don't pretend y'all don't have feelings for your
own bikes)h
