how many times have you seen this

[Trek420]

No helmet, no brain sighting of the day: On BART (our light rail) a man enters the train with a mountain bike and a back pack. He's stagering awkwardly like "dude, put the backpack on your back and then try to balance the bike instead of drape the strap on your elbow"

So he gives up, puts the bike on the floor, in front of the door. And sits down next to me and opens a book.

I finaly had enough and said quietly "the next station enters on that side, you should pick your bike up" . Not a move from bike dude. I don't think English was his first language judging from the book.

After a few seconds of no action 2 ladies got up and started screaming at him "get your bike out of the way of the door "

Last year we did have a fellow put the helmet on backwards. Most of us didn't even notice. Sigh. The first *guy* to come along did.
I remember a tangled traffic situation at a gas station once - veyr much like the backpack guy, where somebody was just blocking everything but seemed clueless. I was all busy trying to find a way to communicate diplomatically ... and somebody just hollered "BACK UP, YOU MORON!!!" (and he did), and I realized that yea, it could have been done without the insult but it was a heck of a lot more effective than my creative efforts would have been and got the job done lots faster.

I did see this once. Seemed to be a roadie out for a typical weekend ride with what looked like a nice Decibel helmet. Only my teammates and I were 100% positive that it was on backwards when we passed him. It was not just a funky helmet design. Definitely a common helmet. Definitely backwards. Weird.

My helmet has a visor. That's how I know which way is forward.

I'm a Fred. It's all good.
