I'm sorry...did he say 7 hours?

But apparently you can win it (1995 World Championships) without a
helmet!!!

Oops, did I start that up again?

all the guys over on the wattage site say clinchers are the way
to go. too much rolling resistance with a tubular.

2008/2/28 Rick Johnson :

Yea, even BikePortland is up to 104 comments on the helmet law.

But, I'm interest in hearing more about tubulars - are they
really worth the money and hassle? So far I've not heard enough to
convince me.
