"Above all in the summer season, the head should be protected: so that the cyclist should get used to always wearing the white cap (even under the helmet) in order to avoid sunstroke. In days of blazing sun, the head should be further protected either with a cabbage leaf placed under the cap or by moving back the visor or the latter to create a large area of shadow on the most exposed and delicate part of the head, namely, the cerebellum."
