Cycling fans out there must be rock-hard when looking at this pic of Lance Armstrong’s new helmet. And if not, they will be when I tell them that this new helmet gives Lance 20-30 grams less “drag.”
Lance Armstrong’s new helmet – picked up on Gizmodo website
Apparently:
[A concept] that has a short tail that tucks in the area between Armstrong’s scapulae. With a head-on wind, it’s slightly faster than Giro’s previous models, but in any crosswind condition, it’s considerably faster –- about 20 to 30 grams less drag. Also, the rider is able to move more easily with the helmet on.
That’s awesome! You know – if you’re into that kind of vibe.
For me, there was something even more awesome about the article I found on Gizmodo. And it wasn’t in the actual article, it was in the comments section.
Wanna know what it said?
HAAAAH! Beautiful..
