Brake a habit not your skull

The guys over at Fat Cyclist can ride. Really ride. I mean 10,000-feet-of-climbing-in-about-80-miles-on-a-Saturday-morning type of riding. But criminal stupidity can even be found within such clear cycling enthusiasts. Yep, this is a use-a-helmet-you-prat type of post.

This is Kenny. Kenny sounds about as hardcore as you can get on 700Cs with joining the peloton. He takes his track bike — modified to have a freewheel and a front brake — as his ride of choice when other are presumably on Roubaixs, Madones and the like with 9 or 10 gear choices donning their rear wheels. But Kenny's talents for strange choices includes riding in a cycling cap and no lid. I’m thinking he may be regretting his anti-helmet stance having bombed on a fast, slippery decent last weekend.

This is Kenny The Wise’s head minus tarmac, oil, grit etc. V.nice.

Before seat belt laws were introduced, many said they were safer without their belts because you could exit the car quicker if an accident occurred. No kidding genius – through the front window. Likewise, how can anyone pretend not wearing a lid actually makes them safer?
