No, you do not look cool riding on the side of the road, against traffic, with no helmet. Oh yes, I forgot to mention you're wearing dark clothes at dusk (and you don't have a light) and appear to be listening to music. I can understand why you think you might, in your baggy jeans and laid back attitude.

But you're really risking your life every time you ride like this. A helmet, some lights, taking the headphones off - this seems like common sense when biking in a car populated world. Riding on the right side of the road, maybe not something you would guess is the right thing to do, but if you learned a bit about your chosen transportation, then you'd know this too....
