they cause bicycle accidents too. :( It actually kept me from scraping up my palm cause I landed on the cell phone instead of my hand. :Q it sill works, just scratched up.

so your cell phone physically threw you off your bike - or were you talking on it? Because unless it did the former - the cell phone didn't cause anything :p

I always feel like a tool whenever I ride my bike and talk on the cell phone. So I try not to do it.

No, I was looking down at my phone to see what time it was and almost hit something because I wasn't paying attention.

Yeah...how can you ride a bike with one hand???

:roll:
A) If you stop, you SHOULD use both hands.
B) I would fel very uncomfortable if I came to a turn. Braking and turning together would be bad.
C) You look like a tool when you do it.

Pfft, when I was in school, I used to ride all over with no hands. In fact, I only used a hand or two to stop.

I could do tight figure eights riding with no hands.
