I really don't like helmets, but down here I don't get given a choice, so I put up with it.
Thursday morning I set off, daughter on the bike seat and all, and felt so subtly different for like 5 mins. Until I realised I was missing my helmet on my head.
So back to the house ... nothing ... I keep my bike outside the front over night and the helmet is just over the handle bars. Must've gotten pinched.
Ewwww, who would steal an old sweaty helmet? That's like stealing used socks.
There was other stealworthy stuff on the verenada, but that got ignored. First time something got stolen from me here in beautiful, naive Adelaide, where people lock up cervelo carbon bikes with tiny cables.
