    As a cyclist, I worry how this oversized helmet will perform in an accident. As an appreciator of individual expression, hop to it!

      Those fluffy helmets tend to get super fucking filthy super quick. I’ve seen a few of those up close and they all looked disgusting if you really looked at them. Which wasn’t unexpected. I can’t imagine they’d be easy to keep clean.

      The problem with these is that they can snag on something in an accident. In a motorcycle accident you want to slide, it’s the sudden stopping that kills you.

        He’s wearing a T-shirt, I think in an accident his helmet snagging would be the least of his worries.

          It’s hard to live without a head. You can make by without an arm. I didn’t really mean this guy specifically, just this sort of thing in general. They look cool, but make your helmet unsafe.

      I thought you were going to say that as a cyclist you worry about how it would perform aerodynamically.

      It’s got to cost a few watts.

        Haha I’m a townie, I don’t get out on long rides much and the last few bikes I owned have had fenders. But I did have clipless pedals in the past and cared more then 🙂 maybe I should get out on longer rides more 🤔

    Not sure this counts as zero fucks. This person seems to have put a lot of effort into crafting a very unique look.

        While I appreciate the look, I honestly think the sticker ruins it. If you have to TELL people you give zero fucks, then you give at least one fuck.

          I think it’s possible to be multiple layers of irony deep where a Rick and Morty sticker is subversive. Idk
