Default New helmet use

Today while out for my Sunday ride I was passed by a guy wearing his bike
helmet while driving his convertible. Maybe it helps on rollovers...

Perhaps he was so preoccupied with his coming - or finished - ride he
forgot he was wearing it. Just like I forgot the right leg of my jeans
was rolled up from riding when I stopped for dinner.

Is helmet hair now a "do"?
Email address works as is.

Maybe he's just a wannabe, and he's wearing it to get the kewl tan
rectangles on his forhead and white stripes on his cheeks.

Actually he is a reader of this NG and Frank has convinced him that he
should wear his helmet while driving and walking. I'd buy stock in
Bell and Giro. If this really takes off it will be the next big money
maker :-)

BTW did the helmet color match the paint on the car?
