chickwhorips "i've always like this.....reminds me of WWII. looks bad @$$."

I've never liked those helmets, as a Jew it's not an aspect of WWII I care to be reminded of thank you very much. I remember being on a drive with my Mom and she was shocked that folks would wear that.

And I can't imagine they protect you, ears, face, it's all exposed.

I think at minimum for some these helmets are a statement "I don't want to wear a helmet so I'll wear the least I can" also (and here I hope we all will take this in the helpfull kind loving spirit supportive spirit that is TE and sing Kumbaya) it says "I don't read history books or care to".

On the other hand, a friend runs this womens bike tour co. It looks fun
