Finally, Jarvis... All prepped and training wheels off! I plan to start out modestly... Perhaps the 3K loop around the arboretum and stable grounds... Very good, sir! Wham! Fooosh! Jarvis, do we have our tech team look into the timing of the airbag deployment... I'll make note of it, sir...

Use the same tech as on Mac books. The accelerometers detect the fall and shut down the hard drive before the computer can hit the ground. Do the same thing for the airbag…

Admire the stylishness of that Fooosh! sound.

Airbags on a bike may not be the best technological development ever. Jarvis seems more disaffected than ever before, IMO.

First, the water bottle on the silver platter. The kid in the pantalon embarrassantes. Then WHAM! and FOOSH!… Can Meddick top this on Saturday? I don’t think so.

I’m sure “wheels” in Washington are spinning writing the new standard requiring air bags for bicycles. I remember when we all rode without helmets, and we managed to get along quite nicely, thank you!

It DOES help to have padding when you fall. I can remember when I rode a bike to and from work (even in winter when the side streets had ruts in snow that was not plowed. I was glad to be wearing a quilted coat. I’m glad helmets were not yet then (a hat or scarf can be warmer).
