Right on topic… I just had to buy a helmet. I’m participating in my first organized bicycle race, and they require all riders to wear a bicycle helmet. I searched high and low for one with personality. and found this gem on ebay.
It’s a 1983 SkidLid. I was nervous about buying it without being able to try it on… But when it arrived in the mail, there was magic in the air. It fit on my head like Cinderella’s foot in the glass slipper. BOOM-BABY!
I’ve added a Schlitz beerview mirror, so I can see the traffic behind me.
BTW here is the event I entered, The “Tour De Doughnut”. The ride is 32 miles with two doughnut stops. They deduct 5 minutes from your ride time for every doughnut you eat during the race. It sounds like a hoot!
