Based on that, I think every rider should always wear a cotton cycling
cap. They should pass a law!   ;-)

 Take care with those laws.  It won't be time to put the wool caps away
until around Memorial Day.

Good point! I was given a very nice wool cycling cap for Christmas.

to buying a walking helment.
