As the resounding chorus of dissent aimed at these senseless attacks continue, each new sighting becomes more and more difficult to comprehend. Like this recent accosting at the Shell garage shop, on Buitenkant. What is this alien doing?

Take me to your leader.

Vida e in South Africa have followed the 2oceansvibe led initiative to place “No Helmets” signs on the windows of all branches. And boy, do the lacy-clad pinched-faces get worked up!

Now why exactly would cyclists get worked up about it? Everything is cool bru, you simply have to remove your helmet. Why is that such a big vibe? Why are you freaking out? Is there something deeper and darker that you want to chat about? The rest of the outfit, perhaps? Do you think it’s something to do with that as well?

Granted, we think the rest of it is completely and utterly ridiculous and you look like a tool either way, but we’re focusing on JUST the helmets here. And yet you’re compelled to throw a wobbly?

Settle down. Seriously.

And, in future, would you mind tucking in your balls while I’m talking to you. Ta.
