Cycling caps under helmets

NONONONONONONONONONO!

NONONONONONONONONONO!

Can you get to the point please?

Eh? Wassat?

No, I make my own judgement. Having banged my head on the road a couple of times and seen the texture of the road imprinted in the outer shell I have come to think that having a shell of styrofoam around my skull is no bad thing if it reduces the chances of a brain injury. I also saw how a helmet deflected a glancing blow when my son nutted a tree at speed, meaning that he was only unconscious for a couple of minutes as opposed to hitting the tree with his temple and possibly doing worse, more localised damage.

Here we go...

Well, I see you haven't even been a member of CC for ten years** yet, so it's very possible you aren't aware of the policy of only discussing the efficaciousness of helmets on in the helmet thread

**Happy anniversary for next week

I was on the original site for a few years before the current version came along. For a few years I used a different forum name.

I don't generally bother with helmet disputes so if you are upset by what I wrote, get a mod to move it over to the helmet thread.

I've already reported Mark's post, because it would eventually lead to one like yours. And then we would go down the same rabbit hole all helmet threads go down, and this one is interesting on it's own.

And the ten year things was a joke. You've been on here twice as long as me (at least). I thought it was funny to talk about someone who will celebrate their tenth anniversary here as if they were a newbie. Sorry if I offended.

Just wear the cap. I do

Ha ha, no offence taken.

Giro sell cycling caps which can be worn under a helment as does Spesh.

Not wishing to argue but how can you have a thread about making something more or less safe without talking about how safe the item is already?

The Hipsters seem to be embracing this style.

Totally Mexico!

This thread has an extremely short life expectancy.

Good effort early doors though. 6/10.

Oh, come on. Did you never study logic? You start with a premise "A helmet securely and correctly fastened to the head will protect you in an accident" and a proposition "A helmet over a cycling cap will protect you just as well in a accident". You then attempt to prove or disprove the proposition, assuming the premise is true. And go to the helmet thread to debate the premise.

Smearing brown sauce on your head makes you more likely to win the lotter (the premise).

The brown sauce tunes my brain into the cosmos. Squirting ketchup in my ears interferes with cosmic rays making it less likely to win the lottery according to my firmly held belief in my premise.

Can we debate whether squirting ketchup in your ears makes you more or less likely without debating how the likely the premise is originally?
