I went from chin-length to boy-short and back to almost chin-length again. My long-suffering hair stylist has to deal with directives like, "I'm never going to use any styling products, so it has to look good straight out of the shower. It has to be long enough to tuck behind my ears so it doesn't get into my eyes. Oh, and I don't like bangs."

With a bike helmet, you can typically tuck all of your hair under the helmet. If your hair still gets in your face, a bandana may help; that's what I use under my hockey helmet, and I've seen some on TE that don't have ties:
