Face mask

In cold days covering face is kind of essential here. But I'm wondering if this is appropriate.....

Just don't walk into a bank with it.

As long as you don't work in the childcare industry, I say anything goes. Haha! I'd echo Leebo's words about avoiding banks too.

The general stereotype of cyclists according to 'the people out there' is that we're soft, we're gay, we're sissies. This stereotype is exemplified by the Saturday Night Live cartoon sketch called HeteRoy. HeteRoy saw a cyclist headed his way and said, "Where there's spokes there's sodomy!" Haha! This mask sorta says the opposite. It says "Don't mess with the psycho on the bike!" I'd say that's an improvement in our image. I want to have more of a biker image and less of a cyclist image.

People need to address the circlejerk over so called ugly vintage cars with **** aerodynamics, stupid muscle cars that have no place in city and whatnot.

Wear it with a Punisher tee shirt and you will be all set...

Appropriate for Halloween, otherwise appropriate for people who like to wear masks that make them look like goofballs.

I have that kit and mask... and use them. We already dress up in freaking spandex and tool around on roads with cars... WGAF what others think? I've also got a spiderman kit...

Something like this is a better choice, ime.

The breathing holes really help. Full masks are prone to getting to hot inside, plus your breath will condensate and freeze onto the fabric which I find really uncomfortable.
