I’m not buying it.

The other day I started an unexpectedly controversial thread on Facebook when I mentioned that I miss the days of helmetless bike riding. I always, always wear my helmet, not only because I don’t want my children to consider not wearing their helmets, but because I have grown fond of my head. We’re close. That said, a little part of me dies every time I put on my ugly, styrofoam-y, oh-so-sporty helmet. (Just a little part of me, though, rather than entire part of me, which is a potential alternative. Again, hence the helmet.)

ANYway, I’m not trying to stir up that particular pot again. I did, however, begin to wonder if there were helmets out there that I might not mind wearing. And lo, there are. So cute that one might actually want to wear them, even if doing so means there’s no wind riffling through one’s hair. So very, very cute that one might think about spending $175 on such a helmet. For about two seconds.
