Often riders will adorn their helmets with silk flowers or ribbons or other various and sundry frou-frou.
Another popular option has been known to attach a piece of lightweight netting or tule (sp?) to the back of your helmet for that lovely flowing veil effect, one benefit of which is that it makes it seem like you're going faster in photos
Tiaras are optional, but are always appreciated. Scepters are somewhat frowned upon for safety concerns, particularly if they were originally cattle prods.

Can I use a javelin so long as I wear a tiara? It would only be aimed at car tires (and the 3-abreast tea parties).

Many things are forgiven if you wear a parrot or a tiara. Or both.

And, the slowpokes who you've just squeezed past who insist on riding around everyone else to the front at each traffic light? Originally Posted by Veronica

Truthfully though, for anyone who hasn't ridden this ride before, this ride probably has the highest percentage of inexperienced group cyclists of all I have ridden. Combine the high volume of riders with the traffic density -- please be very careful!Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.
