Helmet tan lines
I need to start wearing a cap under my helmet. Riding out in the CA sunshine equals vertical striping. Farmers tan and raccoon face are not as confusing to non-cyclists as what I will now call the "giro."

My hair hasn't changed color beneath my helmet at all, regardless of how many miles I'm in the saddle under the sun.

I always wear a cycling cap, and if it's sunny will usually sport sun screen as well, however I do shave my head so I don't have luxurious locks of hair to protect my cranium like some of you.

I am bald and have never had this happen. I spend quite a few hrs on a bike each week in the summer. 12 hrs commuting and 8 more on the weekends. However, I think this is offset by other outdoor activities.
