Heh.... I will try to heed this. Yesterday was my first time on a nearby bike trail where I actually had people ahead where I could see them. It took a lot of mental effort to suppress the competitive feeling of either trying to keep up or pass the person (I won't kid myself into thinking I am the best, but I still wanted to make the efforts!). I was NOT expecting that because I have been very ... relaxed about biking and not thinking of it as a competitive sport. *sigh*

What about hair? I've quite short hair and the helmet does a number on my fine hair...

Well, I cut my hair really short when I started commuting and it was already short. I would just re-wet it and use wax/gel when I got to work and it looked perfect. I had already washed it before leaving. Another thing that helps is wearing a head sweat beanie under your helmet. They make really light weight ones that hold my pixie style in place, requiring minimum restyling.

I keep a spray bottle with water and a bristle brush in my toiletry kit at work. Spray, brush flat, let air dry, and style with hair goop of choice. Originally Posted by Catrin

My hair sticks up and looks stupid all the time anyway, so it's hardly worse after a helmet.
Wet hands or a little gel can sort you out.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

I look at this a little differently....now I can blame my helmet on bad hair days. This is a tool that could come in very handy.....

a recent magazine mentioned Paper Shower as a "shower-free" shower option. Seems a little pricey to me. Has anyone used it?
