So is speeding. Those who are caught will probably get a ticket. What are
you going to do, call 9-1-1 every time you see a cyclist "breaking the
(gasp!) law"?!?

(BTW, the hateful, personal **** you spewed originated from a guy WHO WEARS
HEADPHONES, so stick it up your pin-hole-sized sphincter.)

My point was the irony of you calling other people smug. WHOOSH.

BS

Please. Should deaf people not ride? They're allowed to drive.

Typical tactic of someone who can't win an argument. (Google Mike Vandeman
for a role model.)

I'm dating one, thanks, but I'll be sure to let her know you approve.

That's not the same. If hearing is SO important to riding a bicycle that the
usage of an iPod is akin to a suicide attempt, then deaf people should be
banned from the roads.

And what exactly are you listening for while you ride your bike. I can
still hear sirens and car horns over my music so why should I want to
hear the engine of the car behind me? Do you adjust how you're riding
when you hear a truck come up behind you? Why, were you riding
incorrectly before you heard the truck? Do you pull over and stop
everytime you hear a car behind you?

Wearing lightly tinted yellow sunglasses at night may help some
drivers!

Oh. and if you're unable to navigate through people who haven't heard
your little bell maybe you should lean to actually ride that bike of
yours instead of expecting everyone else to 'leap' out of your way.


Laters,

Marz

Dude, you have to take the bell off the bike to compensate for the
additional weight of the iPod. Sheesh.

Very simple argument, just check your local lawbooks. Tada!! You lose.

You lose in any scientific study about safety as well.

PLEASE GO SEE A DOCTOR OR THERAPIST ABOUT YOUR ALCOHOLISM!!!!

Dry drunk syndrome isn't good for George Bush, Tom Delay, nor is it
good for you ...asshole.

Complete and utter ********.

Deaf people have spent a lifetime learning to compensate for their
disability, you have not.

Case closed, bye, and oh yeah: it's illegal.

The /tactic/ is snipping what someone writes and answering with "yawn".
Sure mark of a loser. Loser.

{Snide, inappropriate and unfounded personal attack removed. The person you
got it from, Neil Brooks, USES HEADPHONES, by the way, but don't let that
stop you from being the slimy punkweasel you are.}

Have you stopped beating your girlfriend yet, Punkweasel? Get some help for
your inferiority and anger issues before it escalates and you wind up in
jail.

Seriously. There's treatment for your problem. Stop hurting innocent
females.

HTH, BS

Stop hurting women, Punkweasel. Get some help for your inferiority complex
and anger issues before it's too late.

Seriously. Don't hit a female EVER. Just stop it.

Not everyone who is deaf has been so their entire life. Should only those
who have been deaf their entire lives be allowed to ride or drive?

Don't you see how silly this is? Hearing is not necessary to safely ride a
bike.

True, but it sure helps. Why handicap yourself while endangering
others just for that lame ass **** you've already heard?

Never tried crack (was it even around before 1982?), and have been a
successful business owner since 1986.

The "kook" part might not be Strike Three, however...

See what you started, Neil? All because you thought that "I actually have
WORK to do" was directed at you (it wasn't).
