		<description>Generally I did&#039;t think much of this blurb.  I have a nice bike shop and we have multiple high-end helmets in S,M &amp; L in stock -- from more than one brand.  Our favorite is definitely the S-works helmet from Specialized.  Also, white is boring and sucks.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been known to tell a kid &quot;you really should do up your helmet&quot; &#039;cause their parents probably told them to wear their helmet but didn&#039;t specify (or check) that it should be clipped on.  I was well chuffed when I was obeyed too - I didn&#039;t stop to watch him do it up, but turned off to go up a hill and looked back about 20 secs later to see him finish carefully clipping it up.

I&#039;ve also stopped a kid to tell him gently that he had his helmet on backwards - the straps that drop down and wrap down towards your ears were almost blinding the kid. 

The ones that really annoy me are the ones that have their helmet on, but they haven&#039;t done the strap up properly and it sits on the back of their head like a yarmulke - or worse, it slides down on one side, so one ear is almost covered by helmet while the other is completely exposed up to an inch above the ear.</description>

		<description>Hello Fatty,

One thought came to mind about your helmet cracking. No it&#039;s not due to wear and tear, hardly the case but I think it&#039;s mainly it&#039;s your large swelling ego. Your head has slowly gotten bigger over the years of posting your blog entries. 
Yeah helmet use is low on the coolness factor scale as you might have seen in almost every picture of pro cyclists training on the road where 85-90% of them do not wear one (mainly European cyclists). They only wear one for races because it&#039;s mandatory.</description>

		<description>Sucks for you to have such a problem. My workplace is right in between The Giro headquarters, AND the Plantronics Headquarters.</description>

		<description>I recently had to replace my &#039;05 Bell Ghisallo with an &#039;06 Ghisallo, because I decided to wear it as I was working up courage to ride my recently purchased Sector Nine pinboard down a long fast hill. Yes, I was wearing a bicycling helmet while riding a longboard - does that make me uncool? Or does riding a skateboard at age 35 just make me an idiot, period? I love the mountain bike, the road bike and now the longboard - and I won&#039;t stop riding any of them until I absolutely have to.
Anyway, my song in praise of wearing helmets: I wiped out when the board began the classic high-speed wobble. I flopped and rolled on the rough pavement like a fish thrown from a car window. The flopping stopped when the back of my helmet hit the road and cracked. It&#039;s a powerful experience to look at the damage to a helmet and think, &quot;wow, that could have been my head.&quot; The road rash eventually healed, but took long enough to convince me that I should probably wear elbow and knee pads as well.
Bell fits my oddly shaped noggin, but I can&#039;t do solid white because I always felt like it emphasized the size. What I really want is a velocity sensing headband that will detect a fall and inflate to the size of one of the rainbow wigs.</description>
