Haha, yeah, I've started to take it off when I'm going to be indoors for long time after I noticed the shape of my skull was starting to conform to the helmet. No kidding, I got ridges in my skull corresponding to the relieved vents between the ribs of the helmet! Before that I really didn't think about removing it until I got home. I live on the bike and the helmet lives on my head. We are all messengers except the guy in the middle.

Sorry Tamara that is what I look like. The comment is nothing especially at my age. This is the internet not everything is as it appears.

Hey dude, it was more a smat aleck comment then a slight against you. Hope you didn't take it that way. Just the shirt off, the angle, it's humorous.

wow that surprises me, I had a friend years ago probably 1985 get killed as a bicycle messenger. sadly he hit a truck harder than the truck hit him. A helmet would have saved his life. He could have just given the guy the finger and moved on.

Are you 'disturbed' to look at the "What do you look like?" thread in the fixed gear forum? 'Weird' was putting it nicely.

I'm weird like the rest of you? I must be! I'm from California, I teach at an inner city school, I live in freaking Hollywood, and I married a man I met online (not through a dating site).

In all reality though, I'm pretty plain and normal.

8, with regards to Tamara, she looks a lot less weird than you or I. I'll admit to being a little bit freaked out the first couple of times I opened this thread, but I got used to it. Brilliant really to open the thread with such a strange portrait. I for sure would not have posted the close up of my face after a hard day at work if you hadn't put such an odd view of yourself first. I'm probably not the only one who felt that way and went ahead and put an image of myself up here despite my better judgment. Haha

Foo is random stuff. Lots non bike related. More like just a message board to further get to know folks on BF.

The only reason I post here is in hopes of tricking a Canadian gal into marrying me.
