My Favorite Things #2
Does anything say "I am stylish and worldly, yet safety conscious" better than the beret helmet?

haha oh my gosh thats great
I can TOTALLY see Flower Power (Mikey) wearing that at cross this season.
I love that there's even that little bit on the top sticking up. Wonder how long that piece would last... I think I'll leave this fashion statement to people who already have 'hat faces'.
If you are price-conscious as well as style-conscious, you'll want to make one of these from a spare hubcap.
Speaking of helmets, although I have reservations about feeding your crash fixation, you may enjoy this:

Now if someone would just make a frame pump that looks like a baguette, you'd have the whole look nailed!
Fugly. Problably a cousin of this one
Maybe a good idea for the Tour de France ?

ahhhh, I love french beret, but this one isn't from there. I love the idea about la baguette, but I'm sure DRU will find a good replacement.
Here is part of the story:
"The "radiovka" beret, known for its little antenna-like tassel on top may not exactly be the height of fashion but the beret does have a long tradition in the Bohemian and Moravian countryside, especially among the older generation. Though most popular in the '60s or '70s, you're still likely to see the beret worn by some even today. Ondrej Stanek, a young Czech artist now exhibiting in Brno, decided to use the "radiovka" for inspiration in a new art installation. Namely, he has developed a series of cycling helmets in the classic "radiovka" shape."
Iron Fish wins for awesomest video clip link. I think there needs to be a wine bottle-like element to this ensemble.
I'm digging the little stem on top lol
No need to pay me royalties for 'za dru baguette pump' btw! My ideas a free to you all, lovlies!
I don't believe that. Where did you find it?
You write very well.
