Local bike shop or eBay...Most places are sold out, but expecting delivery in mid-September. Thank goodness its for charity or it would be tacky!

I would just wait until they re-stock, because that way the money will be going to charity and not to someone else's wallet. If those wristbands weren't for charity, I would just write them off as another fad.

everyone at my school wears those frikin things, i know it's for "charity" but still, if you really think about, a yellow rubber thingy around your arm is well...
it just looks kinda stupid
in my opinion

Depends on your definition of stupid, 200 years ago powdered wigs and knickers were all the rage. 80 years ago those oddly shaped hats and "flappers" where what's happening. It all depends on what you like, just because you say it's stupid doesn't mean some other people don't like it.

I'm gonna get one off of Ebay. I've never been into biking and
stuff, but it's a good cause and I need something to wear on my wrist...

Altough it is for a good cause, but it sucks that people think it's a fad. It's mostly "Ghetto" people and kids buying them.

It's a good thing that it is a fad. It's helping cancer patients and stuff...

The Footlocker here sells them for $1. It's kinda sad to think about that half the people at my school have no clue what they mean, just that everyone is wearing them.

But the people buying them have no intrest in donating money to cancer research. They'll buy anything thats "cool". If they really think it's good cause, why not just donate it.
I'm not saying I am a saint. I have never donated any money to cancer. I'm too young I think.
I hate anything that's a fad.

So that's what those things are..I've seen those around but I really don't pay attention to that kinda stuff. I don't feel a huge need to fit in with what everyone else is doing anyway. But if it's for a good cause I might check it out.

It doesn't really matter if they care or not. At least the money went to a good place...
