Winter might as well be here....

Today, I set my road bike on the trainer in the garage. Stuck a DVD in the wife's laptop and rode for about an hour.

Yesterday reminded me of the LOTOJA this year, I still cannot believe it was that cold.

Note to self: buy some fenders.

Got any tips on how to prevent the rain from dripping in your helmet? I had terrible helmet hair.

I shaved my head a couple of years ago so I have no idea. I do know that performacebike has some protectors that are water resistant. I will ride no matter what tempature it is, but I don't like to ride in the rain unless I have too.

Shower cap? Shrink Wrap? I shave my head during the summer and let it grow back in the winter. I am kinda bummed I will have to start getting it cut again :blxsuspicious:

I wonder if a shower cap would fit over a helmet? Might make a good 'emergency' helmet cover.

Jason's got it! I went looking for something like that but didn't find it on my own, but that would work. Would that be really cheesy?

I can't shave my head; few people can pull of the G.I. Jane look! I would not be one of them.

The shaved head things does not work for everyone. I don't think it would be cheesy if you only use in when it rains, if you use it for everyday use then it will be cheesy.

I'm growing a mop myself. I actually think it looks pretty cool with helmet hair. I always make it a point to walk into a convenience store after I've been riding, so I can go in all sweaty with helmet hair.

They know I'm livin' the high life.

Absolutely not. I spied a guy yesterday afternoon who appeared to be on the way home from work on a rigid MTB fully decked out for commuting. He had an illuminite helmet cover on and it just made him look smart.

The mop look is way in now, I would do it if I thought I would look good, but then again I would also grow the biggest 'fro you have ever seen in your life if I could. :2thumbs:
