-> Barry you mentioned that you saw a cyclist with a helmet on the rack
-> of a bicycle, well I've done that before. I've ridden in extremely
-> hot weather on quiet roads and decided to take my helmet off to cool
-> down.
A well-designed helmet has proper ventilation. In fact, studies have
shown, in wind tunnel tests, as printed in Bicycling Magazine, that the
head is actually cooler with such a helme than without.
Besides I saw this incident not on a very quiet road but on a bike
trail, probably about the most dangerous place to ride.
