Abstract

I was driving to work one Saturday, and while I stopped at a red light, I noticed a young man peddling down the bike path without wearing a helmet and his iPod plugged in his ears. What really caught my attention was the fact that he was also texting on his cell phone, totally detached from planet Earth. That's right, he was text messaging while riding his bicycle and totally oblivious to his surroundings. “Look ma, no hands” suddenly had a new meaning.
