I passed someone the other day riding along with their fringe hanging out underneath their helmet 😯 I thought it made his helmet sit funny on his head too 😀

So i thought i’d ask the faithful stwer’s do you ride with your fringe in or out? Is there a fringe etiquette?

i think most stw’ers would like to have the option

I know not of this ‘fringe’ of which you speak. Isn’t it something American schoolgirls have?

(Actually, they’d have “bangs” instead.)

(Which is a whole other degree of wrong.)

I’m quite sure American schoolgirls have a lot of things, when I google “American schoolgirls” things that come up would give me a ban.

seeing as my fringe is to below my chin it deffo gets scraped to the back along with the rest of my hair or else I would not be able to see

i think most stw’ers would like to have the option

^^ this 🙂

Apostrophe’s – in our out?

I think it looks a bit special really especially as it was grey (his hair)

Out, apparently.

He looks like he’s being born. Is this grammatically correct?

Sure someone will pull me up if not

get over it

fringe out (don’t wear a helmet anyway.)

*gasp*

You should!

nothing wrong with fronting a bit of fringe. it means you have hair. bonus. seriosly though.. wgf! are you good looking?

*Gasp*

cant make me

Kevevs – probably the most beautiful person you will ever see 8)

Emsz – i didn’t think NOT wearing a lid was cool anymore, or is the reason because you don’t want to get helmet hair?

I’ve got more chance of having a minge than a fringe these days! **** hair falling out!!

cant make me

True, but you still should!

Out

Harry Hill when 20 ??

Helmet hair mostly, and they look a bit, y’know 😳

I don’t go fast enough anyway. 🙂

Helmet hair mostly, and they look a bit, y’know

They look fine, stop being such a non-cyclist 🙂

You might not go fast, but I’m sure the cars where you live are just as fast and just as badly driven…

you sound like my dad…

no, ok?

and i am a cyclist thanks, i can do punctures, fix brakes, all sorts. 8)

just don’t want to wear lycra and a helmet

Molgrips – stop putting your paranoia onto other people. Cycling is a safe pursuit.

Cyclists being hit by cars and bashing their heads on the floor is paranoia is it? Ok then I’d better tell all the people it’s happened to that they didn’t have an injury, it’s all in my mind 🙂

It’s your choice, but you know.. head trauma’s not fun. A bike helmet for me is no weirder than running shoes when running or goggles when swimming. It’s just what you wear.

Cycling is a safe pursuit.

Yes, but it’s even safer with a lid 🙂

Yes molgrips – paranoia not based on any rational thought or assessment of risk.

Your continual unpleasant attacks on anyone who dares to swing a leg over a bike without a helmet is tiresome.

not based on any rational thought

Lol, is all I have to say about that 🙂

Your continual unpleasant attacks on anyone who dares to swing a leg over a bike without a helmet

What I actually said was this:

You should!

And I think that’s the ONLY person I have said that to in many years.

I think you are losing it, to be fair Jez.

Your continual unpleasant attacks on anyone who dares to swing a leg over a bike without a helmet is tiresome

…and another mildly amusing thread bites the dust.

Guys, we all know where you each stand on the helmet thing, ok?

but seriously, I need to makes some sort of point and not have any fun at all. Without a bicycle helmet on my head and rockin a fringe like.. i dunno.. a bad naughty ginger kid stole his brothers bmx.

A suggestion of fringe to the side, neither tamed nor wild. This is the way.

Haha, so you must be talking of YoungUn’s yeah..? I mean they’re all mop haired in a Glee kinda way down here, a few ride hard enough to blow the fringe backwards and out of the way and they all wear helmets, which helps.
As for “men of a certain age”, surely you can wear it however you please, but don’t mix it up with white rimmed shades.. a step too far IM(satorial)O

“Don’t stop believing, hold onto that feeeeeeeeel…..”

Wait, what’s wrong with white frames now?

Gods damned fashion.

Guys, we all know where you each stand on the helmet thing, ok?

Too late now love. You’ve started it off; no chance of it subsiding much before tea-time I woon’t reckon…

Is that Sebastian Vettel above?

I, erm, don’t really have a fringe at the moment. 🙂

Erm, white rimmed shades.. well they do look a little appliance like yeah?
Each to their own though, who am I??
Erm.. who am I???

Appliance-like?

Like a fridge, you mean?

I wear a helmet in the car. Far more head injuries in cars than on bikes.
