"One good paying clown job and you will get all your money back." Hmph- that's what they all say. My last clown job didn't even cover gas.
Very old clown bicycle- $75 (Minneapolis, MN)

Skip tooth Hawthorn with 24” wheels laced clown style on 26” frame. It’s been sitting outside for many years so will need some work. One good paying clown job and you will get all your money back.

No, this is what you should be slipping over your helmet:
Although that's a $45 branded DaBrim, it looks like the simple idea has been cloned for very cheap, like $5 -- or maybe that's just for a version for a hardhat, which is simpler because they have a hard brim all around to hold cloth up

(a) I don't have one myself (yet), but when I first saw a rider with one, I was in a car and I slowed down and yelled at him out my window to ask him what it was called
(b) you're a 'guelphite'? I just today started reading Inferno for 100 Days of Dante !

Funny you mention this, I had a chap on FB became really angry when I messaged him the correct term. He then further illustrated his ignorance when he mixed his metaphors and even then misquoted it. Okay, I'm old and i digress a lot.

Hmmm...Yep, I reside in Guelph. Apparently there are now 2 of those city names in the states, one of which was a fellow Guelphite.

Guelphs and Ghibellines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guelphs_and_Ghibellines
By 1300, the Florentine Guelphs had divided into the Black and White Guelphs. The Blacks continued to support the Papacy, while the Whites were opposed to Papal influence, specifically the influence of Pope Boniface VIII.Dante was among the supporters of the White Guelphs, and in 1302 was exiled when the Black Guelphs took control of Florence.

This old Schwinn evidently wants to be all models to all people; Phantom (most likely, which is a real shame for the condition it's in), Jaguar (nope), Corvette (nope, I had one), Deluxe (whatever).

I'll grant you the aesthetic "challenge" of a cap under a helmet, but how is that arrangement "not safe?"

I may have spoken too soon. Searching again, I found this is about $10:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/293608223724
And this is closer to $5:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/293169882187
But it looks like both are designed really for construction hardhats, probably not suitable for bike helmets.

The helmet needs to be properly seated on the head. The baseball cap creates a barrier that interferes with that. I can place my hand on top of my sister’s head and shift the helmet around which defeats the purpose. I imagine its on YouTube for proper helmet fit.
