I may have mountain biked my head into the metal business end of a low bridge strut. Possibly. It came out of nowhere.

It happened during a “beginner” skills clinic. And if that was for “beginners”, then my name is Anne Murray and you’re going to love my Christmas special. I rode for about an hour after I clonked my head, so I self-diagnose that I’m fine. That’s a funny word. “Clonked”. Clonk. Clonkclonkclock. CLONK! Teehee…

    That is actually quite a cool pattern. I f I give you my helmet, could you do that for me too 🙂

    I also noticed that your helmet has v few vents. Possibly a good thing under the circumstances, but HOT. You may have clonked cause you could not see the bridge strut bc of the sweat in your eyes!

    It’s actually one of the “lighter” helmets I’ve owned. I don’t find it gets hot at all, though the few vents was all the husband could see too. He insisted I would die of heat stroke. He was mistaken — clearly, my cause of death is going to be “bridge”.
