My friends say im stupid for doing this.... I cant say their wrong, but i know im not the only one that does it. I see it all the time. I mean its not like im playing pac-man. Just a simple "yes", "no", or "im ridin ttyl".

The reason for this off topic thread is I wanna know who else texts while riding. I bet the amount of "speed texters" is suprisingly big.
Let me know.

 

Can't.

I have the touchscreen Blackberry. Doesn't work with gloves and nevermind trying to blind type on a device that changes keyboards based on orientation

 

i've done it usually at long traffic lights or ill pull off to the side of the road.. usually this is only on a emergency or need be basis.

 

Ya I have the vu. My gloves can be a problem with the touch screen sometimes.

 

Lol, no I mean it can't work

The touchscreen is capacitive like the iPhone's: needs skin contact or special gloves to register a touch

 

Never texted before. I wear gloves all the time and I wouldn't be able to type. I have talked on the phone before though. I had a BlueAnt system hooked up to my helmet, but the quality wasn't that great. It was neat though.

 

Ya i always wondered how good those worked...

 

I've only pulled over to check my phone after feeling it vibrate, and that's cause I was lost and my friend finally texted me where he was.

While riding? Not a chance.

 

Never. Totally not worth the consequences. One F-Up is all it takes, and that could happen in a nanosecond. Nobody is that important that they can't wait until my next stop.

 

Yeah, no. I see tards doing this all the time, and they somehow never seem to have any riding gear on, whatsoever. I wonder if there's a mental connection somewhere. . . . . .
