Fame at last
Oct. 26th, 2008 10:15 pmYay! I'm famous! Sorta... Treehugger, the environmental blog, have used a phone-snap of my excellent helmet hair the other summer as an illustration for a piece on the evils of helmet hair.
Irony: I don't normally wear one, and that was a leisure mountainbiking trip, entirely non-essential, which I drove to on my own. A little training before the Loch Lomond triathlon, I think.
Double irony: the survey is bogus. "No one wants to arrive at work covered in sweat and smelling like body odor" addresses, at best, a perceived problem, not an actual one (ride slower, you dorks). But it's a perfect excuse, making it sound like you care and putting the weird bike tribe down while not having to do anything. The real reason people don't bike is inertia. But "I can't be arsed to investigate the possibilities" doesn't come up often on forms.
