good luck explaining that one WHEN you get pulled over.

wearing a helmet is no more of an obstruction than wearing a beanie, dark sunglasses and earphones with music blaring.

I think that would be freaking hilarious! I know if I saw some guy just cruizing around wearing his race helmet I would bust out ROTFL! I say DO IT!
