Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Crease in my skull

It's been a long cold winter and I have been riding with the Giro padded liner in my Ionos. Now I have two creases in my skull running front to back that don't seem to go away. Well it's almost Spring and I hope it improves. Humorous replies appreciated.

I call BS. If your location is up-to-date - you have no idea about long, cold winters.

I cry foul as well. Olive Oil told me those marks were due to forceps used to extract you from the womb.
Word is you have always been in denial. Eat some spinach and smell the coffee and HTFU.

I don't think that's how bones/skulls work...

If you're under two years old, that might happen. But again, you are pretty talented to ride a bike and type on a computer for that age.

Do you have the wind burn lines from the helmet straps to match?

OP, I believe you. And I'm very sorry to hear about the creases in your skull.

It starts just above the hair line and is most pronounced at the highest part of the head. I should have said top of my head rather than skull because I'm ignorant of what consitutes the covering of the actual bone. My condition has been indepently verified LOL. Spring will be here soon and I'm confident that as soon as I quit using the liner it will be gone.

The condition will fade once you stop banging your head against the wall

You may be turning into a Klingon, post New Generation.


Is it a crease or a dent?


If it's a dent, then your head may be turning into a double ass
