Ha, good spot.
last week when I saw the photo of hf eating out of a can of beans, I almost wrote a smartass comment about his yellow helmet being damn old and he needed a new one--partly because for a while I had the same helmet a loooong time ago---but that was a very good spot from ye ol daguerrotype he put of him back in the 1880's.

I remember my helmet never fitting me that well, and the one I got after that had better ventilation, so was comfortable and so much cooler in really hot weather. Helmets really have improved greatly, and a good one can be comfortable, provide some shade and enough air moves through a good one that it doesnt bother me at all in really hot riding, especially that the shade aspect is better than no helmet (or a hat that doesnt let air through as well)--but thats me.
