Harry, you are too confoundedly stupid for anyone to ever want to get within
arm's reach of you, let alone ride with you for any distance. Yea, ride
alone like the nerd, jerk and freak that you are.
By the way, you can get bicycle helmets for practically nothing these days
and even cycling jerseys are quite cheap provided you get them when they are
on sale. Anyone who wears a T-shirt when cycling is a nerd, a jerk and a
freak. But Harry proves this every time he posts a message to ARBR. Where
the hell is Fabiano when he is needed here since Harry is the ultimate Fred?
