Helmet straps

I spotted a new trend the other day, actually it’s probably not new. Wearing your bike helmet without doing it up. Now what good is that? The second you start to fall, the helmet goes and you are left with nothing! I’m trying to grasp the logic of this. Is it to show everybody you are wearing a helmet or to avoid the $29 ticket? Let go the ticket route, you are hoping to fool the police to avoid paying $29, yet risk injury to your head. Somehow that doesn’t make sense. Dollars and sense.

New game
I have a new game for you. Have you noticed the number of people who are continually checking their laps while stopped for a traffic light? Next time you are at a stop light take a look around. Works better where there are more lights than Kimberley. It’s not hard to pick out those people who check their lap, then check to see if the light has turned green. Stop texting, we see you.
