Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

Object, I did one thing you'd be please to hear.

I lost my glove in Wimbledon just when I was setting off to Cumbria.

Luckily did not needed glove, hand warmed up enough, handlebar feel fine on my hand, only concern is road rash on my hand if I fall over.

Now I look like I got rupert the fucking bear's hand due to the sun.
I'm not some kind of glove fascist, I just despise wearing them myself when I'm on the road bike. It's a totally unfounded hatred.

On thread related news, I have worn a helmet the last two times I've been out on the road bike and noticed a marked increase in my top speeds, I'm aware this is a false bravado.

I still do not wear a helmet when riding my commute, or out on any of the toy bikes.
