I had this line taped to my handlebars on the mountain bike back in the racing days. I used to race downhill in shorts & t-shirts, no body armour that they wear now. My theory was that I had more incentive to stay upright that way, and besides, I had put all my $$ into the bike, couldn't afford it.:s
