I remember my bike riding days well, and this seems like it might actually be seen, therefore slowing down the number of people who plow into me. Also it would be a lot more stable on gravel or knurled pavement. And I think it looks pretty cool too.
Could be promising, in that HFers may be dumping their LCD2s at a good rate.
I've been biding my time for the FOTM to run it's usual short coarse over there.
