Toes? I got rid of them long ago- too heavy. Good idea about the shoes though...

Have you considered just riding nekkid? & shave your head.

LIsa, you could just ride on rims too, the rubber tires and tubes add a lot of weight.

What if she put helium in tubes? & helium balloons on the back of the seat??

Thanks Mimi, I tried these on my bike a while back (tubes are for SISSIES), but again, I had the added weight issue to address, so I went back to my old tires.

If you're burly enough to ride that then I wouldn't think weight would be an issue. Maybe you should get wheels that match. As for breaks, just do it the Flintstones way.

Probably just a 60's flashback. Not to worry.

I'm just getting a one way street sign. Must be a psychological thing.

It's too cold here!
I cut my own hair, and it's usually only about an inch long. However, I'm considering having my old fillings replaced with titanium- could lose at least another ounce there probably (i have a lot of fillings)... I looked into carbon fillings but I don't think they would hold up when I pull off my tires to change flats. Only SISSIES use tire levers.

Well the black carbon MIGHT be unattractive in your teeth. Though it might make an excellent skeletal structure.

Oh, but I play the banjo, so actually it might fit right in! Gee, THANKS!!

Ya know, we are carbon-based life forms.

(Having spent the day riding the HILLS of Tennessee where banjo players aren't that uncommon).
