Of course, they ride all-black fixies. For the stealth factor:

I've considered getting one to keep the sweat out of my eyes on hot days. I keep my head shaved and sweat is a problem in the summer. I don't give a rat's *ss if anyone thinks it's gay or not. If it helps me....I'll wear it.

Are you sure it's not just an honest question to improve his dating odds? Must be confusing when all those guys with "Assos" on their clothes just ignore him...

They only make you gay if you wear them while having sex with a person of the same gender. Really though, that is a stupid question.

I use a Pearl Izumi sweat band made of micro-fiber. I look like I should be playing tennis instead of riding a bike.

try a proper cycling cap sometime. they fit quite nicely under your helmet, look (IMNSHO) a lot less silly than any variant on a bandanna, and even give you an emergency sun shade when you're out riding at dawn/dusk.

As a baldie, I'll say some sort of head covering is essential under a helmet. Not a "do-rag" per se, but any one of the dozens of elegant solutions available to address various needs of moisture wicking, sun exposure, cold, etc.
As to questions of sexuality in regards to a head cover: That's between me and my wife. The rest of the world can make juvenile assumptions at their own peril.

I always wear a Headsweats or similar doo-rag. I have warm ones for the winter and cool ones for the summer. I sweat as much as anybody but I see guys at the end of a ride squeeze their helmet against their forehead and then watch like a half liter of liquid come oozing out of their pads - pretty impressive, but GROSS. My Headsweats keep the sweat out of my eyes, off my glasses, and out of my helmet - they work and come in cool designs. If you're gay you can probably find them with purple triangles and rainbow stripes.

What if you don't wear doo rags and ARE gay? Aparently that'd cause mass confusion.
