    Last year we did have a fellow put the helmet on backwards. Most of us didn't even notice. Sigh. The first *guy* to come along did.
    I remember a tangled traffic situation at a gas station once - veyr much like the backpack guy, where somebody was just blocking everything but seemed clueless. I was all busy trying to find a way to communicate diplomatically ... and somebody just hollered "BACK UP, YOU MORON!!!" (and he did), and I realized that yea, it could have been done without the insult but it was a heck of a lot more effective than my creative efforts would have been and got the job done lots faster.

    I did see this once. Seemed to be a roadie out for a typical weekend ride with what looked like a nice Decibel helmet. Only my teammates and I were 100% positive that it was on backwards when we passed him. It was not just a funky helmet design. Definitely a common helmet. Definitely backwards. Weird.

    My helmet has a visor. That's how I know which way is forward.

    I'm a Fred. It's all good.
