I wonder if you can still use them as a helmet?

A nice Sunday morning read! I remember a botany test in college where one of the questions was: you see a tree with a piece of barbed wire going directly through the middle of the tree. Describe what happened. And of course we were supposed to explain that the tree, when younger, was used to nail on a piece of barbed wire fencing, and the subsequent tissue formation over time and how the wire was eventually enveloped by the tree. One intrepid student was not up to the task and simply wrote 'There was a hurricane, and the wire was found the next day, sticking out of the tree.' The professor was not amused!

The "tsbc" portion stands for Twin Cities Bicycling Club. I am not sure how I typed "tsbc" and not "tcbc", but i kept it anyway. The "cowboy" portion is my nickname in the bike club. On one of my first club rides, four of us went out for lunch after the ride to Paninos. I ordered a Cowboy Panino and the waitress said "do you want jalepenos on that, Cowboy"? I have been Cowboy ever since. That was twelve years ago. Cowboy

Just a personal note about bicycle horns. I had some serious back surgery and I couldn't turn myself over. I had to be turned at least every two hours, but it was usually more often. The Husband Guy was worn out from lack of sleep. One afternoon I needed to be turned in the worse way. He didn't answer when I called. So I called my daughter in law who lived across the street. She dialed the house and gave the phone to her little three year old daughter and told her to let it ring until Papa answered. When he finally did, she said "papa, mema wants you in the bedroom." and hung up. The next day the DIL and her mother came to visit and brought a bicyle horn that had come in handy during another person's illness. It was a wonderful thing!!! He could hear me over the entire house. I didn't know the dratted things were sooooo loud. So, if you have someone that is confined to bed or a chair......get a bicyle horn. I agree, they are well worth the price.
