But what baffles me are these people I see from time to time, who have a helmet. Dangling from their handlebars.
I always want to stop them and ask them why, but I never do, so I'm asking here instead.
Some people use helmets to strap their bikes to railings when they stop for coffee. I'm guessing it avoids the dreaded frame crush of a kickstand...
