Awesome picture. I would never own up to that one. Looks like a Garmin you're wearing on the wrist. Am I right? What do I win?

It is funny, but I don't think the helmet gives as much protection when you wear it like that. Thanks for the humor.

Bravo, Jake. Good on ya, man.

Is it just me or is anyone else laughing at the enormous "PROOF" printed on that pic? It looks like someone yelled, "Ah HA!" and stamped it on the pic as evidence or something. Hysterical.

What's everybody laughing about?
It's not supposed to go that way?!

very brave post. Well done.

the helmet strap across your eye didn't indicate that something may be amiss????????

I thought that too, could have also read "EVIDENCE"!

That's a great picture, thanks for sharing. No joke, I saw a woman riding like that in a 1/2IM last summer (in that same race I saw a guy talking on his cell while race). But how did you not notice when you were putting it on? I guess you've got some serious focus going on!

Any run that doesn't include pooping in someone's front yard is a win.

Thanks for sharing. You are a God.

You are my hero. Most of us would be desperately trying to get that pic pulled off the web!

oh...ribs...hurt...still...laughing...


(you are a great sport! :) thanks for sharing, this made my day)

Jake! You are the man! Thanks for making my day. My cheeks hurt, face cheeks that is.

I can!

Anyone who might have passed him during the bike leg would have been in to big of a hurry to bother mentioning it and the people he was passing had to have been far to embarassed about the fact that they just got passed by a goofy guy wearing his helmet backwards to mention to him that his helmet was on backwards!

Last year I was just getting started on a training ride at the park, I noticed a guy riding a K-mart/Walmart level sport comfort bike finishing up a lap with his kids on the traffic loop. He and his kids were having a balst and he was grinning from ear to ear but I couldn't help notice that his helmet was on backwards and mentioned it to him. He looked at his kids - who all started looking off in different directions - and said, "I thought you said this was the correct way to wear this helmet!" I could not help but feel like the janitor in Frazz as his kids burst out laughing while I showed the dad how to properly wear the helmet!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You are not alone on this one. I have seen this a couple of times and seen pics as well.

I'm actually coming to the conclusion that not only does it look kinda cool, It makes a person look like a knight or something, but I'm wondering if it's not more aero than the other way around? That sharp point splitting the air?

When it is cold here in Houston, while I do not wear it much during rides, I have a bad habbit of wearing my Pearl Izumi fleece vest inside out when we go to places like resturants or the grocery store. This is evidenced by my wife noticing the seams/stictching sticking out all over the place or the inverted/reversed logo on the front - imuzI lraeP.

It is absolutely unanimous! A hero is born.

i think i just peed myself...bwa ha ha... dude...you got balls for posting that...good for you!

My stomach hurts from laughing. I also love the casual look on your face. It looks like you are whistling. Thanks for the smile today.

"Jake--you have GOT to buy that. I would make it into a poster and become a poster child :-) the look is classic! "

Holy crap that's funny. I think *I'm* gonna buy one.

(And I'll second-and-third the kudos for the sense of humor it takes to post it. Thanks for making my day.)
