I don't do "do-rags."

As far as I know, I'm the only bikie to wear one. My ears ache if I
allow wind to blow on them, and a white linen do-rag is the easiest
way to cover them without undue insulation.

Not really. I've used one for several years now :-)

After many years of working in tropical sun I have considerable sun
damage to my skin in various areas and the do-rags my wife makes for
me are big enough to cover the tops of my ears and have a flap to
cover the back of my neck.

What might be called arm-wormers but are actually sun-sleeves are
almost universally worn as soon as the sun gets up in the sky.

Women cyclists go even further. they wear ankle length tights, long
sleeved jerseys and a head cover that is essentially a "balaclava"
made from a stretchy colorful fabric.

As in other Asian countries black is not beautiful :-)
