If you want to sell bicycle helmets, what better way than to start a fear campaign backed by an invalid study (the infamous and discredited Thompson, Rivara, Thompson)? The sad part is that the helmet fear campaign has turned off many potential cyclists, since it implies that cycling is a much more dangerous activity than it really is. Creditable studies have shown the fewer cyclists increases the danger for those who still ride, so the overall effect of the helmet fear/promotion campaign may well have been making cycling more dangerous in the US.
Here is the indomitable Mr. Sherman proving yet once again that 2 + 2 = 5. I wish I could do these slight of hands, but I never acquired the knack. Maybe you have to go to an engineering school like he did in order to get to this state of bamboozlement.
Sherman is just regurgitating the same old AHZ boilerplate BS. Sherman is incapable of independent thought.
Still trying to attract customers with "0% attitude", Zarkie?
Ozark Bicycle is incapable of not being jealous of those who get more respect than he does.

Sherman, the only thing which gets less respect than you is a pile of dogshit on the road, and even that is a close call. Clear enough?

Dear OB,
You have a store, eh? Schmuckness certainly isn't the way to get customers. Based on your recent posts, I predict a blow out sale just before your URL goes back on the block, and you move back in with mommy.

You two need to get a room. There is obviously something deep going on between the two of you.
Huh? "Ozark Bicycle" is the one who is being the Usenet stalker. He does more to discredit himself, than anyone else, with his gratuitous use of insults.

Sherman, I can't tell if you are simply a liar or if you are, as they say, "funny in the head".
So, tell ya what, from this time forward, everytime you make one of your passive agressive snipes or trolls at me, I'll archive it and post the collection up on Google each week on Mondays. You can do the same every time you think I'm "stalking" you. We'll soon see where the truth lies, eh?

How counter-productive on OB part. 😉

IOW, you are simply a liar. Thanks for the confirmation.

Little lacking in the logic/comprehension department?
