I'll vouch for that, all right. He does this a LOT.

How would you know that, Mike? Did you read it in a book or something? "Sedate" is NOT a word that comes up often when discussing your riding tyle.

Plus, it gives you an excuse to do it even more!

But some of the near-misses are EPIC, eh Mike?
Seriously, if any of y'all have a chance to ride with our esteemed colleague Loosenut, jump on it. He's about as fun to ride with as anyone I've ever turned a wheel with. The challenge is staying close enough to enjoy the show.
