Quote:I once saw someone leave his or her helmet on the bike seat. A gust of wind blew the helmet off the seat, and clunk, it hit the ground. Not good.
This is a habit I have had a hard time breaking. Even after I set my helmet on my seat on a windy day to take a picture of Malibu Canyon on a gorgeous, but windy day. The wind blew my helmet off of a cliff along Piuma Road, and I had to climb down clinging to tree branches to get it. Then, rode home with a cracked, battered helmet and tossed it in the dumpster. I still do it for a moment or two to put on gloves, etc, but that image always flashes in my mind.
Thankfully, never had one stolen. But, I usually lock it in the trunk.
