We spent the weekend
Looking at bicycle helmets. We've just got back on them and we had a close call on Friday and goddamit it makes sense but Jesus I want something a bit less helmety.

Why? Nobody cares what you look like with a helmet on apart from you.
And you only appear particularly weird looking to yourself because you're used to seeing yourself without one.
(, Mon 18 Oct 2021, 13:51, Reply)
Correct and right
all hard hats/helmet's look weird when you spot yourself wearing it but they are there for a reason and that is to help protect you. If you are concerned about it buy one in a neutral colour so you don't stand out too much but do get one.

I'm very pro-helmet (heh) a I've climbed, biked, laboured
and other such malarky. Part of it is utter vanity, I know that, but it's also the fact that the bloody rain fucks up my glasses and no matter what helmet I've tried it's terrible. Now I'm old and shit I'm basically blind if I have to resort to peering myopically over the top.
Everyone can relax though. I've found an excellent Roman helmet on eBay. I'm willing to trade certain crashes for the glamour of the Roman Empire

I saw a cyclist the other day with a rubber duck stuck on the top of his helmet.
Nice.
But for style issues, why not put a hat over it, like a Panama or someth?

Being from a biking country (Denmark)
Even here, people are pretty vain regarding helmets.
I started using it when reason displaced youth (30s).
It messes up my receding hair.
My recommendation is a Hövding. That’s an airbag for your head that won’t mess your hair or give eggshell associations.
Swedish brand that I’m not affiliated to in any other way than owning one myself.
Extremely expensive, but good value and easy to use.

London cyclists
I am back on the bike after a long sabbatical.
Things i notice are:
Most cyclists are Cunts and do not stop at lights.
Jump the lights not noticing that there are actually filters for cyclists.
Try to weave inside lorries and buses despite a very heavy media campaign and even ignoring the annoying warning noise that the vehicle is turning.
Those on the hire bikes are beyond comment but i did see three the other day which made me think of a grander social commentary article.
TL;DR
Cyclists are mostly sound but sadly its the Cunts that bring the group down.
Much like van drivers eh

"Most cyclists are Cunts and do not stop at lights"
Really? I see far more motorists jumping red lights, and the road traffic stats confirm that anectodal evidence; the overwhelming majority of light jumping incidents are caused by motorists.
It's a shame those motorists that kill 4 or 5 people in the UK every day are dragging the rest of us good drivers down, isn't it?

The first one somehow made it onto the road and got hit by a car, the last one is somewhere behind my shed still not flying

There are two factors at play

The second is, there is always someone in the office scrutinishing people's movements too closely, and complaining.
What I am more concerned about is - how are they getting these drinks and snacks so cheaply in the first place that they can sell them and still raise money for charity.
