Dorky looking? I'd love to see you in a full hockey or bmx style helmet climbing up one of the Canyon roads in 100+ heat of the summer here in Los Angeles. Anyways style is all about attitude if you think you look like a dork, you probably look like a dork. I'm guessing if your biking in a hockey helmet you're out on the Napolean Dynamite end of dorky, but maybe so dorky your cool again? But I doubt it.
