Well I was trying to keep this a family-friendly site…

I would say the link you posted is definitely not family-friendly! Not ANY kind of friendly, to be honest!

Oh, it’s totally ridiculous what he’s doing on a road bike, don’t get me wrong. But I wouldn’t try to ride the top of a fence on clipless pedals (and neither would he).

I can barely even ride on a road with clipless pedals

I had my first failure in 10+ years after the Arlington Fun ride. Left a nice gouge in the rear bumper of my car (luckily, plastic).

Hey, Certifried: I have the same pack you do. It is advertised as having a reflective logo, but it does not light up in your picture, especially relative to the rim strips.

I don’t think the front is supposed to be reflective, but there is a triangular patch on both “sides”, which face front and back when mounted on the rack, that is reflective.

Yes, my on-bar headlight is currently on my son’s bars of his BMX bike because he had his license suspended for 3 speeding tickets. /sigh

He gets his license back this week. I hope he learned his lesson.

Great thread, Dirt. I hope more people do this and post their results! Saving lives, man, you’re awesome!

I need more yellow reflective stickers on the frame Of course, this doesn’t include me, which is a large part of my lateral visibility on the bike. Bright colors and my vis360 light.

The bike without the flash. I don’t think too many cars are running around without their lights on to active my reflective parts, but just in case…..

Many thanks to Certifried for getting a couple shots of my bubble bike in motion – a view I of course don’t generally get to see!

that first picture shows who your biggest fans were for the entire ride. All the kids I saw absolutely LOVED the bubble bike! One fan was actually spending a lot of time after the ride, just hanging out behind your bike and chasing bubbles. Damn I miss the good ole days.

I’m seriously considering taking a stab at this – I’m thinking I’ll need to mount a couple of LEDs inside the bubble maker to “charge up” the bubble solution. Otherwise should be pretty straightforward.

I’m very disappointed that you didn’t take my request for sustenance containing bubbles as the first request/priority. I’m sure clif-shots would partner with you!

Rock on and stay not stinky.

Dirt.

time to get a bubble machine! Those do remove skunk scent, right?

When my oldest was about 8, he took the trash out. Sitting in the trash cans, of course, was a family of skunks. He came running in to the house yelling that he’d been sprayed. The stench was SO strong, it took a good 15-20 seconds to even register it. It took about a week to get the smell out of everything. I had to throw away a lot of my BDUs (army camo uniform) and other clothes because the stink just wouldn’t come out of them. If you’ve never been sprayed or been around someone that has, consider yourself very lucky. It’s amazingly awful.

Thanks for that link! I don’t have a ton of rides, so it didn’t take very long, maybe 1 minute or so.

My rides up to Oct 2012 by certifried, on Flickr

that’s pretty awesome! Maybe in 3 years or so, I’ll take you up on it heh. I don’t have too many miles yet

[Certifried]

Hey, thanks for the follow up! It’s great to hear you had a good ride.

That bubble machine is so awesome!! That would be so cool to ride thru rush hour traffic every day.

they didn’t taste too bad either. I had the pleasure of riding behind it on several occasions. I requested “orange” for the flavor next time.
