Cycling in San Francisco is kinda scary. In Tokyo, you can ride your bike on the streets, on the sideways, in your pajamas with groceries hanging from both arms, with no helmet, nobody cares. Here in SF, it's like this big scene—you have to have nice gear, shoes that click into the foot pedals, helmets, biking shorts, biking shirts, a water bottle that clicks into the frame...it's SERIOUS. To make it a little less serious, you could get this Super Mario 1UP bike helmet cover. That way, if you get run over by 10 cars while speeding down a crazy SF hill, you can just hit yourself in the head and get another life. In theory.
