On cleaning my damn visor
I've been cleaning my visor with it still attached to the helmet thus far. Inspired by complete boredom and an urge to have it sparkling for some reason, i decided to take it off for a proper clean.
Taking the thing off was a cinch.
Putting it back now, that was another story. Visors are slippery bastards aren't they? By the time i'd almost dropped both visor and helmet trying to prevent the latter from rolling and former from springing away, it was all covered with fingerprints again.
On my second attempt, i discovered that if i conducted the enterprise on the couch (sitting down, with legs as helmet cradle) instead of the kitchen bench, it made everything heaps easier.
Apparently, with round slippery objects, a cushioned surface is better. It keeps them from travelling too much.
Yes, it's all too obvious i know. For some reason the common sense which functions perfectly fine for me in all other aspects of life just can't kick in when it comes to biking. Everything directly and indirectly associated with this activity has to be learnt the hard way with me.
But at least my visor's back in place, crystal clean and functional!
