yessir, to each their own. I may think it's a fact that handlebar streamers are dumb, but you may think they're absolutely fabulous.

No kidding. Another purpose is to smooth the transition to hoods and cover fasteners. Again, I have no need for the additional grips on this bike. The majority of my time spent on this bike I am wearing gloves with, you guessed it...grips. No need to improve grip if you already have it.
Additionally, some bar tapes even provide less grip in certain conditions. For example, Fizik Microtex is absolutely awful in wet conditions.

I wear a helmet like that one on the bike path because that guy does. Also I have a window cut out of my skin suit for "air conditioning"

Actually, I hate it. I'd much rather ride around town with chalk all over my hands.

can I recommend one of these? I'm pretty sure Brad Wiggins was wearing one during his hour record.

Perfect! That way I can touch up my corpse paint on the go too.

Wow, give it a rest already, guys. Who the f--- cares what he does? Waste of time for both sides involved (and for any disinterested parties reading this thread).
