Cyclists with large heads and/or abundant hair please recommend me bike helmets.

@helio Where, exactly, did you *try* to help? Your suggestion was, in summary, “look at the sizes and try them on in the store” do you not hear how fucking condescending that is as a reply? You truly believe that I asked the question without ever having walked in to a store? You think *I* insist on being an ass after reading your half of our exchange? You’re telling *me* to fuck off but you, dear, are the one replying to me. I *told* you I have time today. I will make clear your nonsense.

@helio “Just pick the biggest ones” was *genuinely* meant to be helpful? You were not being condescending here? If so… uhh… ok.

@Stacky @MsHearthWitch Genuinely trying to understand where the helmet ends and hair begins. I think you misread my statement as “people who want an abundance of hair in a helmet” heh

[stacky@hulvr.com]

@griotspeak @MsHearthWitch I just think it’s a funny as hell “helmet”, and thought you might too.

[griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com]

@Stacky @MsHearthWitch It is. So much of the humor for me comes from the question I posed though… is that basically a wig and a helmet? Is that mannequin bald?

[griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com]

@Stacky @MsHearthWitch If I thought it would fit, I would consider it for the visual of me with both back length locs and curly blonde hair

[stacky@hulvr.com]

@griotspeak @MsHearthWitch pretty sure she attached a wig to a helmet

[griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com]

@Stacky @MsHearthWitch Dear reader, I didn’t process that that is not—in fact—a mannequin. That is a person with period appropriate makeup.

[griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com]

Just for context, The now deleted reply was (abridged) “helmets have sizes. It works best if you go in to try them on”

[maddy@thegayagenda.fans]

@griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com Outstanding advice. ​​

[griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com]

@maddy Sorry I did leave out “choose the biggest size”

It'll probably depend on the shape of your head: my large but long and narrow head fits quite well in a POC helmet.

@griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com When I biked for my commute I used a skateboard helmet because my hair didn't fit in a bike one. There was no law mandating a specific helmet, so I don't know if that solution still applies.
