I did a really stupid thing

[Pedal Wench]

I have gotten into the habit of when I hop on my bike, I pat my head. I know I look silly, but helmets are my friends

I do the exact same thing. Every time. *thunk*

Wow!

I always do a mental checklist: phone, keys, gloves, helmet. (I'll know whether or not I'm wearing my glasses!). This was after I decided I was going to go out on the bike trail (involves driving) and realized about halfway there that I'd forgotten to put my helmet in the car.

Hey ginny - You and Pedal Wrench might look silly when you thunk your helmet to make sure it's there. But you didn't look as silly as me when you thunk your head (ouch) and your helmet is NOT there. I'm trying to picture what I looked like wearing only a balaclava and sunglasses.

ONLY a balaclava & sunglasses? Well, I bet that did turn some heads.

That's why it was so cold!

This post made me realize that I have gotten away from my "helmet, glasses, keys, water bottle, gloves" incantation before a ride.
I'm in Baltimore today looking at the incredible amount of snow that's still there.
