Building up the miles

[tyred]

I do on occasion.

 

[cyberknight]

sounds like a fast way to choke to death

 

[Dayvo]

Yes, mainly to stop my mouth from getting dry.

 

[fossyant]

Never, too busy gasping for air. You obviously aren't riding hard enough if you can waste time chewing gum.

 

[mjr]

No but I smoke whilst riding.

Are your brake blocks rubbing the tyres?

 

[rogerzilla]

No but I smoke whilst riding.

You are Mario Cipollini and I claim my five pounds.

 

[Brandane]

Bubble gum only. The airbag effect is much more likely to prevent injury in the event of an accident than one of those trendy helmet things.

 

[Sharky]

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
on the seat post overnight?

 

[vickster]

I don’t chew gum ever now I’m a grown up and can brush my own teeth

 

[tyred]

You can use it to patch a tube in an emergency.

 

[matticus]

No but I smoke whilst riding.

If I smoke, it shows I'm doing it right.

I've been known to drink beer and smoke while riding, maybe not so much these days because my balance isn't what it was, and fags are extortionate. But anything is possible.

Falling over should be a non-event for you. I mean look at you, you're a one-man airbag.

I'd think chewing gum was extremely dangerous. On the two occasions when I or a buddy have crashed, he knocking himself unconscious for a couple of minutes, for the first thirty seconds after the crash we were both immobile on the ground but gasping for air in an uncontrolled way. The last thing you'd want would be to inhale something.

It is probably better not to smoke a pipe while riding...!
