I like my brain, and my skull works really hard to protect it from trauma. The brain itself tries to avoid trauma too, though its results have been less reliable than those of the skull.

Sadly, my cranium isn't designed to handle high speed collisions. Luckily, this beautiful piece of precision engineering has been designed to do just that.

This helmet is so sleek that I want to gear up an entire wardrobe of equally stylish bike gear.

The other part of my gift is the "Bicycle Combat Tactics" DVD. It's a serious instructional video which purports to equip a bike-rider to fight off both armed and unarmed assailants.

Is this effective combat training?

No, not a bit.

It it humorous?

YES!
