I haven't done many group road rides in a few years, so need to update my stats. Doing the bike path straw poll method is less accurate due to the higher number of casual riders, but I wonder if people are wearing cycling caps under their helmets as much as they used to. Nowadays, I try to find helmets that fit well on my bald head. Maybe because I am bald, and have a head shaped sort of like a football laying on the ground, I'm super critical of how helmets fit on my head before cranking down on the ratchet thingies. So, anyway, a decade or two ago it was often necessary for me to stuff a cycling cap under the helmet just to get the damn thing to sort of fit. These days, I opt for a helmet that fits close enough that I can't wear a cycling cap under it without incurring a headache.
