LOL!! Actually I was thinking more of the early days of motoring. When the car was invented it did a scarry top speed of about 6 miles per hour, but to protect the poor, unexpecting British public from speed demons burning up and down the Queens highway at such breakneck speeds, a law was passed stating that all cars must be proceeded by a man, walking, and waving a red flag.
I just had this image of all cyclists having their own man with a red flag clearing the way for them

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
