I always want to wear a baseball cap while wearing a helmet so I can have it when I arrive at place so I can offset my helmet hair. But my helmet is really uncomfortable with a bb cap in the way. I don't want to carry a bag with the hat in it and I outworn my beanies. Would it look stupid to place the cap on the handlebars or clip the cap into the strap of the helmet to carry it while riding? Does anybody have a good solution to wearing baseball caps with a helmet?

Nobody cares where your hat is placed. Nobody is going to see it on your handlebars and think 'what a twat. I'm going to tell everyone how big a twat this guy right here is. Unbelievable! The audacity.'
You'll be just fine.

Could or be, perhaps, that you are indeed a twat?
Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 268d
Agreed. Not twat behavior if you aren't a dick with your bike.
Wouldn't even notice. Most people barely have their own shit together these days.

Joke's on you, I think everyone looks like a twat in a baseball cap.

That pip on the top of a baseball cap is dangerous under a helmet. Its essentially saying, 'hey coordinate all the shock right here' like a little pin hammer. Get yourself a cycling cap for under the helmet. Way more comphy too.
But yeah id go with the hook it to your belt loop. Maybe with a carabiner so you dont stress the snapback

Get one of those kid's seats for the bike, get a large stuffed... Tiger? Yeah, Tiger. Put the hat on the Tiger, strap the Tiger into the kid's seat. Nobody will mock the Tiger for not wearing a helmet.

Who cares about looking stupid. Just done what you gotta do.

If I saw someone wearing a helmet, with cap strapped on somewhere, I'd understand. It's practical, and it's pretty clear that your planning to wear it when you remove the helmet, you're not trying to make some sort of statement. Go for it! (as long as your cap strap is reliable...)

You're overthinking it lol

They probably know that.
Bongles@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 268d
No.
Yeah kinda, I'm imagining it hanging from your face?
If you have a snap back kind of hat, yeah just attach it anywhere on the bike I'd say, or depending what you're wearing, to you in some way. Don't over think it.

If you're wearing jeans you can also strap it onto the belt straps. If it's on the side it shouldn't be too uncomfortable

I'd be worried it will get caught in the chain or tires. Dunno why OP is afraid of being seen with the hat clipped to the handlebars.

Or just be bald. I never have helmet hair.

Stuff it down your underpants in the front.

Put the strap through your belt loop

I snap my hat to my bag or frame then swap helmet for hat when I arrive at my destination.

Here's what you do: get a bike rack and bungee core a milk crate to it. Bonus points for a milk crate that looks well worn and like it lived an entire lifetime before it took up residence on your bike. The look is timeless, a classic of style, unquestionable. From there you can store anything you want, hat included.
Or don't. You wouldn't ask a stranger on the street for their opinion, so why care what they think?

Here is a ballcap like hat I wear, that’s good under helmets, and it folds up and comes with a bag to carry it in.

Spend less time worrying about a hat and get a proper helmet with a chin bar.

I just put a divet in the foam of the helmet for the little metal button on the top of the baseball hat to sit in so it's not pressing into my skull. 🤷♂️
But I also use a skateboarding helmet and not a typical bicycle helmet, so it doesn't have as much of a lip for the brim of the hat to clear.

But if you don't have a helmet hair how will people know you rode a bike?

I have a triangle shaped bag that hangs off the frame of the bike between the seat and the handle bars. I just cram my baseball cap in there. Don't take a nice one you don't want to crumple up a bit though.

Roll the bill into the fabric. Forms a crescent moon shape. Shove it under your belt
