  1. OK, which of you was it?

    I thought it was Scott Munn (or is it Sam Walker?)

    I grew quite jealous when I read: "the wind in my hair is a
    pleasant reminder that the male pattern baldness wich runs
    in my family has skipped a generation."

    But then it occurred to me that it's probably quite a useful
    reminder to get out and feel the wind in what hair I've got
    left as often as possible while I still can.

    But is it "scott" of this NG, I wonder?

    I also wrote a fairly anti-helmet letter to C+ about 10
    years ago. I don't have a copy of the magazine now, but it
    was broadly modern CTC policy, i.e. helmet promotion makes
    people think cycling is unsafe, and what we need is more
    people cycling because there is safety in numbers.

    He does read and post here occasionally, hence the Guy
    Chapman quote and the mention of paving slabs in the
    horoscopes he did for C+ a couple of issues ago.

    He's got lots more good stuff at

    Think positively, think aerodynamics!

    Current issue of Cycling Plus, comment piece by Scott Munn about helmets and why he doesn't wear one, including quote lifted from here about meringues encased in eggshells.

    Yes, but the other one has hair on. _Do_ keep up at the
    back.

    It's all that cycling with the wind rushing through your
    hair - it strips the hair of colour. Would I lie to you?

    I have every confidence that you wouldn't lie to me. Here I
    was blaming too many scary movies combined with this year's
    council tax bill and a side order of Dubya's latest
    utterances (pick a day, any day).
