I love to bike...a lot! I cycle to and from work everyday and though I absolutely adore getting lost in my city streets, I could do without my scruffy helmet hair. Unfortunately, style comes in second to safety, so until they introduce a helmet that does not cause me to have crazy tripped out bangs every morning, I will just have to keep rocking my bent up hair do!

I can totally relate, I love biking as well, feeling the air and the atmosphere of everything around you. And loving the drawing; sometimes getting lost is a nice thing, as you write :)
I'm a helmet head too Rhya!
I love cycling as well, but LOATHE the helmet. I never wore a helmet until I actually got hit by an SUV and after that I counted my lucky stars that I walked away with a crumpled bike but only a sprained ankle. Now I wear a helmet, but I have to say I don't enjoy riding the bike as much anymore. It's weird but I feel like I'm inside a car and want to put on my seat belt after putting on my helmet. No more breeze through my hair... AND at least once a week I get someone yell "Nice helmet" at me from across a playground or parking lot. I bought the most inconspicuous helmet (all black) and still it draws attention :(
too bad there is not helmut hair fashion remedy :(
loving the drawing. and loving the lavender!!
Helmet hair is better than no hair! (which is maybe what could happen if you get your scalp scraped on the pavement?) Anyways, yeah, I've been a helmet wearer for about 5 years, but will never go back after taking that face plant into the FedEx truck. Not worth the risk!
@robyn: you should move to Portland, nobody makes fun of helmets here, unless they're an immature 13 year old pre-pubescent boy.
So true...i am a big helmet supporter...and Toronto is pretty helmet friendly as well...i have found when biking in colder weather that wearing a small bike cap underneath my helmet helps with the crazy hair...but in the summer it's just tooo hot for that jazz...also @littlebirdcity can i move to portland too? sounds so awesome there!
I admire your talent shown here on your blog. I need to exercise more!
