    Out alone riding with tunes. No one ever has complained to me about that.
    Bright enough to

    I missed my incomplete post here. I wrote a reply, and decided my intended post had nothing positive to offer, was deleting it and somehow hit the post button.

    Every time I do an organized road ride I see people just tossing their Gu wrappers onto the street. I jokingly commented to a guy once about dropping some trash and he told me they have people to come and pick it up. Clueless.

    My ride day pet peeve...

    When ride day doesn't happen.

    Any time I get to ride, I'd rather enjoy the hell out of it and not dwell on the minor annoyances!

    Check this product out. You remove the existing front padding from helmet and replace with sweatbuster pad. I sweat a ton - halos and headsweats saturate quickly for me and become useless. The sweatbuster holds more sweat and does a better job keeping it from dripping into your face. Then you just wring it out, and it will absorb more. Doesn't eliminate dripping completely but it is far better than anything else I've tried. I started putting a bandana on too like Tom the Bomb, and that helped dissipate remaining sweat and pretty much solved the problem. Keeps the sun off your neck and face too. Try it... I've been using it for about 5 years now, never going back to anything else.

    Love my Smith helmets, but they definitely drip sweat in my eyes really bad. This might be the fix!

    Cowgirl up!
