Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Can I has it?

I wonder if it will feel very hot, since you're not getting as much airflow on your face.

The air filtration is a good idea. Today's NYT had another article about how bad fine particulates emitted by cars are for athletes.

The thing with that is, you'd just look silly wearing anything other than a Stormtrooper outfit.

Now I just want to see someone in that wearing cutoff jean shorts and an I'm with stupid shirt.

Why not just wear a Green Bay Packers helmet?

I would see some lunatic on my commute wearing one all the time.... and NOBODY messed with him.

sideways bike look ridiculous...


the vents on that helmet are on the side, the black discs, i think they are round like a full face spraying mask.. my spray mak looks similar to the lower part, but with a giant lens that wraps around the front.

Can you smoke with that mask on? I would think it would severly inhibit my habit. Maybe they could make a little attachment to smoke through.

they are practical for sand and dust but i doubt they are any protection against car fumes. they are good for the cold though
