I took a year off of cycle commuting after 8 solid years of commuting 8 months a year, I'm getting back this year. I've been reading this forum for the past year trying to get info and appreciate all that you posters supply.
Anyway I don't wear a helmet as when I have tried to, I had a problem with sweat getting into my eyes and a couple of times almost crashed.
Is there a helmet that can hold back sweat as good as a ball cap? I did try a HeadSweat skull cap once, had it for a week and got lost. Those things are just too small and easy to lose. A ball cap under the helmet was just plain uncomfortable and hot.
I have just a two mile commute to work but when spring arrives the car gets parked and all my travelling in town is by bike and on weekends I probably put 75-80 miles travelling from my suburb to the middle of downtown and back and going all over.
And before it starts, if you think I'm a wus for not commuting in snow and ice or dry roads but don't like the cold, that's ok, I'll agree with you. I'm not riding in winter.
I figure since I wear a cap when riding I could just as well wear a helmet if there is one that'll work as I said above, I'd be willing to spend up to 60 dollars if said helmet exists.
Thank You.
