Picture of Cav in Hyde park doing sky ride withnloadsnofnkids. All helmeted up but with Kelly brook sans lid on pashley with wicker basket. Clearly ot in contract that her hairdo could be mussed up (picture was in today's metro). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6857#post-72741 Wed, 30 May 2012 14:16:07 +0000 Baldcyclist 72741@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Are these outfits somehow supposed to be more visually appealing?<br /> I reckon most folk would look more 'normal' in a full fluorescent yellow Lycra gimp suit and helmet, than these outfits. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6857#post-72736 Wed, 30 May 2012 14:02:14 +0000 Uberuce 72736@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Neal Stephenson, SF suthor of the ace and win Snow Crash, Diamond Age, Cryptonomicon, as well the truly epic and frighteningly well researched System of the World historical romp trilogy, came up with that idea.</p> <p>He also invented Google Earth, although I think like Arthur C. Clarke he didn't patent it, so legally Google Earth invented Google Earth. Read Snow Crash if you don't believe me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6857#post-72732 Wed, 30 May 2012 13:17:17 +0000 alibali 72732@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Always suspected it was only a matter of time before that insurance ad. with the guy falling off some scaffolding spawned the personal airbag.</p> <p>I'd be looking for a whole body one for the full Michelin-man effect though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6857#post-72730 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:57:25 +0000 DaveC 72730@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks a bit warm in Summer - even if summer only lasts a week in Scotland. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6857#post-72729 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:46:18 +0000 amir 72729@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wow - but quite a bit heavier than most helmets. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6857#post-72727 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:39:29 +0000 daveyman 72727@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This in the Guardian today - works out at about £350 - check the video.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hovding.com/en/film/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hovding.com/en/film/</a></p> <p>Fancy one? </p>
