We need a thread to note the bad fit of equipment of cycling. For those who don't know it.

Case 1:

That's a huge noggin! What size helmet is that? I thought needing a L helmet was big, this is huge!

Now to find the Creed's pic from was it ToC or some race, his helmet was as big looking as the on here

Just grab a seat by your local bikepath with a camera and wait for some Fred's.

That's easy pickings, we need to set our sights higher.

Here's one of the Creed with oversized helmet, I can't find the recent one, yet.

Does anyone told him that helmet is way to small or fashion geek.

Post photos of someone who actually looks good wearing a helmet. Or should I say better wearing the helmet than they did without the helmet. I realize the need. But dang, they are just heinous.

Everybody looks good in Catlike Whispers!

Is it just me or does Tommy V where the short shorts just a bit shorter than most?

 

[Notso Swift]

He is famous for it, and has been for about 8 years!

I know. That was the joke.

Not a very good one apparently

True. Unfortunately, the text can't capture tone.

BTW, that photo RDV posted just above could go in the things that TT faster than Basso thread as well

 

[ElChingon]

Is he wearing short knicks or long shorts?

 

[gregod]

this reminds me of a bike built by paragon machine works. it was made out of an old car axle. it even had a car steering wheel instead of a handle bar.　i couldn't find a picture of it on the google (it was built more than twenty years ago), but i did find this paragon creation.　



click on the picture to find out more about it.

BUMP!

BUMP!

A great use of (un)aerobars there. With the super high arm rests, using them would appear to put the rider at an even more upright position that riding on the hoods.

Willing to accept that this guy has had a back injury and cannot lean forward.

Or thinks its cool to ride that way, not to mention relaxing

Then a nice, lightweight, UPRIGHT hybrid with fast road wheels is the solution. NOT compromising your safety and everyone else around you!

Kill it with fire I say....
