The goal of this blog is to explain the rules as they are, not to make them up based on my own judgment or opinions.
I stand by my previous statements though. Cycling caps are mostly useless. What about a flippy bill keeps your head warm? I have plenty of cycling specific beanies for their sweat-wicking and head-warming properties. And I've never once thought to myself "wow, I really wish I had a diminutive bill on here to keep me warmer." When it's raining, I'm less worried about water from the sky, and more worried about the crap coming from the wheel of the guy in front of me.... but I digress.
The new verdict: Cycling Caps = Ok, but proceed with caution, and be prepared to defend your decision.
Make sure you look more like this guy:
And whether you decide to rub a cap or not... riding without a helmet is still retarded. Period.

Oh the irony for those of us that know what you look like, and, that picture (not the one of Boonen of course)...
ReplyDeletewow. Ouch. you think I look like that campy guy? That's low G.
ReplyDeletebravo for the semi-retraction!! another good reason for cycling caps are for when you happen to be on a social ride that involves stopping for coffee or grub somewhere. its always nice to have a cap to hide the helmet head of matted down hair. i think a cotton cap looks much cooler than any beanie or skull cap for said occasion.
ReplyDeleteI am bald. But not totally bald. I guess I am balding.
ReplyDeleteI cannot put sunscreen on my balding head. Can someone help me? Oh, hellooooooooo cycling cap.
Does it make me a bad person if I feel like punching the guy in the 2nd picture in the face? Repeatedly.
