Cyclists with large heads and/or abundant hair please recommend me bike helmets. I have both a large head and an abundance of hair.
@griotspeak no im literally in the same boat tryna find a skating helmet that can handle my locs ahahaha...its rough out here
@griotspeak i have a giant head and enjoy my Nutcase helmet but it's looking like they might be hard to find these days for some reason
@griotspeak You could move to the Netherlands and not have to wear a helmet.
@jeffwatkins @griotspeak your bikes don't break and you don't have hidden patches of ice that aren't visible at night? AMAZING, SIGN ME UP
@jeffwatkins @griotspeak this is a weird comment, also people wear helmets in places where they are not required
@forestine @jeffwatkins Haha weird indeed but, to be fair, Jeff has been trying to get me to move closer for a while.

@griotspeak I seem to recall this being a question on #BikeNite in the past. I wish we had a place to archive previous conversations that's easier to find things than Mastodon search.

But hopefully someone remembers. @bikenite

@meganL @griotspeak @bikenite
It'll probably depend on the shape of your head: my large but long and narrow head fits quite well in a POC helmet.
@griotspeak @meganL @bikenite
Hmmm, something like that. This is the one I've got:

Octal MIPS Cycling Helmet in Garnet Red Matt | POC (UK)

@meganL @griotspeak @bikenite I don't remember one about large helmets, but maybe there is one about different hair types. I'll look.

@meganL @griotspeak @bikenite
three is one about styling hair and helmets: https://sfba.social/@ascentale/115590467469719632

I think my server's archive is not long enough to include older questions. Sometimes Google or other search engines have content indexed from other servers. I searched for "BikeNiteQ" and "helmet"

@griotspeak REAL i have big fluffy hair and a big head it's hell to find helmets or hats
@griotspeak sorry... i couldn't help myself
@hobbs If it didn’t cut off so much field of vision I would absolutely accept this as an answer
@griotspeak @hobbs It does get ★★★★★ for retro-style.
@griotspeak this also reminds me i need to replace my helmet. thanks for the PSA 🙏
@griotspeak Seeing that I am possessed of a small head utterly bereft of hair above the eyebrows, I must refrain from offering advice lest I grievously mislead you.
@griotspeak when I looked for motorcycle helmets, most of the brands did not fit my big head, except Arai brand.
Hair Helmet 1789

@Stacky @MsHearthWitch Genuinely trying to understand where the helmet ends and hair begins. I think you misread my statement as “people who want an abundance of hair in a helmet” heh
@griotspeak @MsHearthWitch I just think it’s a funny as hell “helmet”, and thought you might too.
@Stacky @MsHearthWitch It is. So much of the humor for me comes from the question I posed though… is that basically a wig and a helmet? Is that mannequin bald?
@Stacky @MsHearthWitch If I thought it would fit, I would consider it for the visual of me with both back length locs and curly blonde hair
@griotspeak @MsHearthWitch pretty sure she attached a wig to a helmet
@Stacky @MsHearthWitch Dear reader, I didn’t process that that is not—in fact—a mannequin. That is a person with period appropriate makeup.
@griotspeak When I biked for my commute I used a skateboard helmet because my hair didn't fit in a bike one. There was no law mandating a specific helmet, so I don't know if that solution still applies.
