As someone who lives in a country where I don’t have a choice but to wear a helmet, it’s nice to see someone in this online community actually promoting their use. Love you Dusty
I dont know why but the 'anticipation/suspense' music you were playing (like when you mentioned the air pump) sounds so much like the Resident Evil 6 title screen music.
Safety Tip: Doug, try your best to ride safe and when coming to a full stop use your foot instead of your helmet. Then little need for a helmet because cycling is actually a safe activity. Additionally, avoid racing in a group.
Also kids! When you buy your helmet, get one with MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection, to minimize rotational energy transfer to your melon/neck if you hit your head) AND ask about the manufacturer's "Crash Replacement Program". If you bust your lid, better manufacturers will offer a significant discount on a replacement (proof of purchase, yada yada yada). There's no reason to ride with a shit helmet. Fun vid, big ride!
Maybe you can get my late wife a replacement skull where the helmet fractured it and killed her Styrofoam uncertified crap is a false sense of security its too thick on the side so if you hit sideways it pushes into your skull they are a joke
Was Doug hiding to make your ride more epic? Important caveat: The "change every few years" advice does not apply to helmet safety, only to usability. The EVA foam (main safety structure in all helmets) is proven to last for literal decades. It does not care about sweat, weather, or UV light.
It's not a scam. Improvements in usability do happen over time. You get better adjustments, cooling, and weight in a cheapo modern helmet than in high end gear from a decade ago. But strictly in terms of safety, there is no need to replace an undamaged helmet.
Both my cycling helmet and my motorcycle helmet are almost 10 years old and I'm just fine with that. I think a lot of this is just hype. If it hasn't had an impact and you take care of it then it's good. I'm so skeptical these days of the industry and the riders pushing each other to spend money.
@@matthewshaw3747 nah I'm good. I would bet my life savings that most people have helmets that are 5 years old and good for them they haven't been pressured into saturating the overpriced cycling market with money.
Hahaha change the helmet every three to five years even if it hasn't had a big impact? What marketing bs of course they want to sell more helmets while convincing you to throw away a perfectly good helmet. And who cares about the environment? Yeah just throw it away Jack! I've crashed with my bike and my helmet took the impact with the ground and saved my skull. The helmet is scratched and has a slight impact bump where it hit the ground, it is not cracked. I examined it closely and it's still structurally sound, strong and in one solid piece. Doesn't flex or make squeaky noises when I force it with my hands. I won't throw it away just because I read or heard somewhere that I should. I have a brain and I tend to use it to make my own decisions. My helmet is ready for the next one. If it cracks I'll replace it the following day. 🤓⛑️

Doug getting a new but sweaty helmet made me anxious all through this one.
Been off the grid for 2 weeks, finally back - and of course your channel is the first one I dove into 😀. Another awesome episode!!
Welcome back! Hope you had a re energizing break.
I wasn't going to buy a new road jersey but I'm drooling over the LS House Jersey. You have excellent taste.
Appreciate you bud!
The drama! The suspense! The local legends!

yeah buddy! I honestly feel safer wearing one.
4:20 "I've not seen Doug" - And Doug is just chilling on frame hahaha love it!
Love that you caught that!!
I'm so glad Doug's ok
🤣😂
I have that exact same helmet. They are awesome.
I dont know why but the 'anticipation/suspense' music you were playing (like when you mentioned the air pump) sounds so much like the Resident Evil 6 title screen music.
I had the first RE on PS1 and I couldn’t play it when I was alone. It was to scary 🤣😂
I like Drew’s lil animation bumper at the end.
He’s the best!!
I think this might just be an episode of Portlandia? Your buddy in the white Scott helmet and striped jersey even looks like Fred Armisen.
We love Freds
Haha dude 3:46 is great. Love the theatrics DK. Way to keep it fresh!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video made me smile 😊 Keep riding!
Safety Tip: Doug, try your best to ride safe and when coming to a full stop use your foot instead of your helmet. Then little need for a helmet because cycling is actually a safe activity. Additionally, avoid racing in a group.
This has a Bones Brigade vibe... hope you get the reference.
Mission accomplished
Great video dude
Appreciate you player!
Protect that dome Doug!!! Congrats on the new lid
Have one of those Trek ones with the magnetized snap. Don't think I could go back.
1000% agree. Now when I have to insert the clip I feels like Im waiting for dial up ;)
I’m getting this Animal Chin vibe from this video.
I 100% need to watch that video again!
Haven't finished the video but please someone tell me if Doug got his helmet. The suspense is killing me
LMAO hahahahah !!! DOOOOOOUUuuuuuuugGgggggg
No Doug was decomposing hidden in a ditch, wasn't discovered until a week after he went missing.
Hey Dustin, tell me about your backpack! Is a special model with a gopro mount, or is a diy one?
This guy: 🎒Dk’s USWE Bag: bit.ly/3kISs4q
I mount the GP with this: amzn.to/3Rvki2E
sound design was actually pretty good, Dustin
*whipes sweat off brow. Thanks Player. Learning each episode
This is a 6-minute advertisement, but I don't care because it's so likeable. Subbed!
This was a 6 min adventure to save DOUGGGGGG
4 40 ty Bell does it for me . Or solstice was good. Always locking the helmet, just buy the cheapest best never need a lock again
Shout out to Competitive Cyclist... yeah. That was so cool of them. Glad Doug's okay. #skullcaps
We got there just in time 😅
We were at that Crit and thought we’d see you there! 😢
I was looking for Doug...Did you see him ;)
So what happened to Sean? He didn't have a helmet for the ride back, so is he stuck sleeping in an alley downtown?
Tune in next week…
He's dead
I use a Kali lid which has a "crash replacement service" although I've never tried it, yet 🤞🤞🤞
they make good helmets
The king of bike storytelling strikes again.
PLAYER!

Have we met Sean before? He's a hilarious part of the adventure pals.
Sean just moved here from Oakland CA. Great addition to the crew!
So much tension on this one ! 😳
Glad you saved Doug!
The visor gets more fresh air too
This is one of bikings crowning conspiracies! And I have a feeling the LID's about to get blown off!
Oh god... If you hear a groan right about now, it's just me over in Scandinavia, groaning
Spreading that good knowledge about helmets! The faster you ride, the better your helmet needs to be!
Very true!
This must have been one of those shortcuts only the locals know about.
LMAO!
you need to upgrade to one of those garmin devices with solar charging.
Love Doug
DOUG DANGER!!!
LMAO!!!
Hello Dustin, what are those glasses at the beginning of the clip? 🙏🏻
Doug were coming!!!!! *stops and pick on wild berries*
Dooooouuuuuuuugggg!

These are some great tips!! Good looking out! Thanks for sharing.
How come people in Amsterdam don't use helmets? And there's a lot of bikes there and traffic! 🙄
Good question
Doug is like the luckiest guy in the world right now.
So glad he's alive ;)
He has a pre sweet
Love you Dustin.
Yeah man, helmets are important. I’ve had three friends get hit by cars and the two without helmets both had cracked skulls.
This is tragic!
I should add, they all lived and are able to ride bikes again.
*Dude, Where's My Doug?
Bawahahahah King of Comments!
Did they go and put Sauvie's Island between your house and downtown?
It was a long and treacherous Journey
Nice jersey, dude(s). I might need to get me one
Looove me some long sleeve! just in case you :) bit.ly/3wvpPOx
I SO want Sean's haircut right now haha
He got those lox ;)
Pedal Consumption Cameo!!!

"& the socks" , the 2 least expensive components in this Video: "the Helmet,,,
I love socks
Gore SHAKEDRY Cap?
LOL I thought it was going to be colder 🤷🏻♂️
Impact isn't good for helmets?
I've been very irresponsible
It might also mean your doing it right ;)
Sean looks like Doug junior in that helmet. Any relations?
I'm so happy Doug can go on to crash some more
LMAO!!!! 🤣
Why use a cycle computer if you could use your phone?
Always love some sweaty helmet.
Helmet conditioning
Its like stranger things but youre seeking doug instead of will.
Snakebaby!!!
We gotta get to Doug!
The TRUTH about stupid, long, YT ads.
Maybe you can get my late wife a replacement skull where the helmet fractured it and killed her Styrofoam uncertified crap is a false sense of security its too thick on the side so if you hit sideways it pushes into your skull they are a joke

They might exaggerate it but I think 10 year anniversary is probably a good time to call it quits on each. I mean you only get one head.

@@thecrowfliescrooked you do you man. My helmet also would be falling apart after 10 years but I use it everyday.
@@matthewshaw3747 Roger that
Wearing someone else’s helmet is a no go.
Why not?
