I knew someone who died from falling off a bike hitting a pothole at slow speed and landing on his head the wrong way.

Donât listen to CD2, he fell off his bike not wearing a helmet and hasnât been the same since. Worst part is, he doesnât even realizeâŠ
Yes you absolutely do.
Update - I pinned bangs back and did a French braid which somehow got caught in the helmet when I took it off so I looked like an idiot đ Iâm hoping that came off as endearing...
Iâm smiling
If they donât like you with bike helmet hair, they donât like you enough to date anyway.
I ride and race and I always wear the helmet. You know whatâs not cool? A TBI.
If the other person knows itâs a bike date, they will take helmet-hair into account.
If they donât know itâs a bike date, they might be too stupid to go out with.
Wear the helmet. Bring a hat.
I respect the helmet.
It is impossible to look anything but foolish in a bike helmet. I would sooner ride a bike with training wheels than wear a helmet on a date. Unless we're going bombing through the woods on dirt trails. Then I would have enough protective equipment to withstand a small army.
Nothing says âswipe rightâ quite like a traumatic brain injury. Wear the helmet. Sweat is sexy.
I wear a lacrosse helmet. Itâs way cooler-looking. Plus everyone you pass by goes âWTF???â which is always priceless.
God, that was awfully written.
Bike date on the island, no helmet. Bike date fighting traffic through Toronto streets, helmet.
Bike date on the island wouldâve been nicer lol⊠love this Toronto-specific advice.

Agree ahead of time that at your first pit stop, your partner will grab your drink while you run to the loo to undo the helmet hair
Helmet no. Condom yes.
Lol, would you EVER give this advice to someone in person? No. It doesnât even matter if youâre a man or a woman, this is creepy because op didnât ask for sexual advice. They asked about helmet hair.
Bike dates are a thing?
Dang.
Donât forget you Hello Kitty knee and elbow pads, too.
Honestly I shouldâve...I fell when I got home.
Howâd it go?!
Neutral đ I mean he bikes way faster than me so it wasnât like we could bike side by side. At one point, I felt like I just got left behind!! Then we sat in the grass at a park and chatted while I fixed up my hair and it was all v neutral. No banter, no back n forth, not even a reassuring comment about my helmet hair!! So I didnât feel as bad about being sweaty and flustered đ
Glad I went but bike dates are not gonna be my thing tho...unless theyâve already seen me at least four times as my best un-helmeted self.
You lost me at âbike date.â
Always a helmet. If safety is a turn off then yikes.
I went on a bike date once and we had a picnic and drank and spoke until the wee hours of the morning... and letâs just say Iâm glad I was wearing a helmet because drinking all day + night riding = crash.
PS founding fathers ponytail hahahaha
Be careful if you're in California. My old partner found out the hard way that a BUI is a thing. Bicycling Under the Influence. His nickname is now buoy. He does not love it.
I always wear protection on my dates
