New helmet mod for sun protection!

I usually avoid the midday sun at all costs, since my family has had
cases of melanoma. So, now that I will be doing daytime cokering for
probably several hours in the bright sun, I decided to salvage my
(UVA/UVB) motorcycle face shield, and try to make it fit my regular
skateboard helmet that I use for MUni and all-around uni riding.

Seems to be a good fit and rotates up and down perfectly! Of course,
this is in addtion to the 45 spf (w/zinc oxide!) sunblock that I put on
*daily* without fail! The good thing about the sun shield is that it's
can't be sweated off like the sunblock!

It's obviously not *total* sun protection, but it helps! And it also
provides added protection against people trying to poke you in the eye
with a sharp stick!

Hopefully you don't run into any rebel forces when riding.

I'm sure that will help but yeah, on top of riding a unicycle, you will
look absolutely ridiculous wearing that.
