this was really a safe thing to do, when as if on queue a gust of wind
shivered
the tree tops and *thwak* a chestnut hit me on the knuckles. Ouch! Next time
it'll probably be my nut, so I'm wearing my helmet this autumn.

BTDTGTTS.. one time had a conker rattle off the helmet. As it was a Bell V1
Pro with a thick ABS shell, it made quite a noise. The other time one hit me
on the knee and drew blood. Ouch.

Sounds like a very good argument to order a velomobile 🙂
