Stay Cool

In hot, sunny weather, take a tip from pro bike racers from the classic era of the 30's and 40's and wear a bandanna under your helmet. Periodically pour water in your helmet vents to soak the cloth. Air streaming over the wet bandana will cool you by evaporation. It works for runners and walkers, too.
