Darrow says he thought it was you at first, Eaton. And he even shouted "Joe!" as the guy rode by.

From above, the rider looks like Beaujon.

I will add that this: "If you want to invest in a helmet and then proceed to not use it—and do all of that in public, then we have every right to grab a shot of it." seems likewise obnoxious.

"OUTRAGEOUSLY, when that photo was taken I WAS ON THE SIDEWALK"

He's right: it IS outrageous that he was cycling on the sidewalk. If he's cycling, he should be in the road.

Experienced, my ass.

The back of your head on the cover of CP - you'll live.

The back of your head on the sidewalk (or the soon to appear pavement) - guess what, you might die.

1 guess who gets to pick up the tab if the dude crashes with his helmet nearby rather than attached. Hint: not his shiny new pipe!

If he knows what he's doing, why's he wearing his helmet on his pants?

Someone else might know better, but I believe that a significant portion of bike accidents occur while entering or exiting sidewalks, perhaps to cross a street. Does he put his helmet on at every intersection?

I question whether putting your helment on and off frequently doesn't mess up your hair more than just keeping it on. Although, he is somewhat deficient in the hair arena, so that might not be his concern. If it is air flow and temperature, he might consider investing in a breezier helmet rather than that skate variety.

This dude also posted a comment on the story itself.
