So I lost it

Racing some roadie tonight I lost control going over a sleeping policeman

I am banged up pretty bad and judging by the amount of claret

I think I need a helmet

I want one to match my bike

Preferrably a roadie one

Can yo get color coordinated helmets then...?

So.. looks like a BLUE in size ??? for Monsieur.

i bet the roadie stuck a stick in your spokes, typical behavior, never trust them

Shit i thought you were going to say you lost your bike. Well I'm glad you didn't!

As for helmet, just let the blood dry and form a scab - natural helmet.

Sorry to hear of your mishap, bit of bark off and a bit of claret loss is good for the soul.
And yes get a helmet.

something like that?

or im sure you could take off the plastic shell from any helmet you like and paint it yourself? any blue you like.

Excellent, ingenious and excellent.

Bad luck ! :(

What have I told you about cycling without your silver crucifix and St Christopher ?

Bike's looking very very nice by the way, the last I saw of it was when you were getting the blue Nittos, never seen a full picture, got any more images ?

Personally I would warn against over co-ordination, especially so on colour, consider it a case of getting a picture frame on an old master painted to match the canvas.

Browse here (hundreds of helmets):

When i saw the name of the thread and then who posted it I thought 'oh no someone has got drunk and forgotten where he locked the most beautiful Mercian in the world" Thank fully my suspicions were not confirmed!

I'm with Tynan on this.
Over coordination you will regret.
Get white or black.

People who colour co-ordinate clothes with metals will look like ass holes.

Slack chain btw,

Tynan I'll upload to flikr when my right arm is working again

I ride with brown shorts, blue shirt & a brown rucksack so brown would work as well

Although I do think that lid by Cuppa T is a little bit smart

My bowler size is 6 - 7/8 is that how helmets are sized..?

My crucifix worn latino style didn't save me this time

although I believe they are popular on the tour

I'd ask for sympathy but I really ought to know better

not to race on the street balls out

bike hasn't got a scratch on it though...:)

so off to the doctors for some codine

Sorry to hear that :(

Has to be yellow helmet, it will match the blue of your bike and the brown of your clothes.

Failing that, white is superb.

Black or white. Colour neutral to match any bike you own (or will own).

you guys are soooooo boring.

Bad luck dude. I saw the thread title and thought it would be about you losing your buddhic calm and getting in a fight with a car driver. Glad to hear that the injuries aren't worse and that the bike's ok.

Slack chain btw,

Wrong btw

un-licky Buddha - but you were racing and with a lovely set of wheels like that, there is no way i am feeling sorry for you ;)

+1 on the colour matching front, you don't want to look like something from a catalogue. go for a yellow lid!

colour coord ---> helmet, gloves and shoes. WHITE! blue framed sunnies ;)

Bad luck, heal well. At least you didn't damage that beautiful bike... :p

As well as the latino styled crucifix, have you considered a St Christopher medal and a Giro Ionos helmet?

Sounds nasty. Recover quickly.

...I'd ask for sympathy but I really ought to know better not to race on the street balls out...

I'm suprised they didn't get damaged too.

Four broken ribs, broken wing bone (scapula), skinned hands, knees & elbows 2x7 inch head gash

Off work for four weeks I think I am going to go down to Cannes

Thanks for all the fashion tips ...:)

Harsh. Hope you heal up quick Buddha.

Oh bugger - broken ribs are such a pain! Get well soon.

Ooh - and nice bike!

yikes. sounds serious. sorry to hear that. rest up
