I use stealth technology. I hang my tinfoil hat on my speedometer so police radar can't see how fast I'm going.

They can work it out from the angle of your noses snot trail.

I have a few of these that I ride past regularly. One is on a down hill ... you can guess the rest

They had one set up in a school zone, I went home and got on the bike and guess what, it was gone..........when I got back there. I haven't seen another around since.

I once had a hat with a liner. It was cold out, so I shredded reflective mylar and stuffed it. It worked like a space blanket. But more importantly the CIA couldn't read my thoughts because of the foil. The mylar came from a Doritos bag.

@JGcycle, It worked as insulation. It could breath and it also worked like a space blanket, kicking back IR. It would be great stuffed in a lightweight ski jacket and that would keep the Doritos bags out of the landfill. I just washed out the bag and put it in the paper shrewder. There is a fine line between creativity and insanity. I am somewhere in that grey area.

I wish I'd been wearing my special hat on the morning of February 17. The parking space in front of the town hall door is mine. I find I can collect a larger fine if I can take a violator by surprise, so I haven't told even Donald Trump that it's my space. That morning I recognized the car I'd been honking at for years. I'd never seen the driver's face because she has those expensive windows that are electrically adjustable from 70 to 10% transparency. Every time she spotted me, her windows would darken to 10%, like black enamel. I knew she must be mighty beautiful to need windows like that. The way she honked back at me, I knew she was as rude as she was beautiful.

Before I could write a ticket, she came out and said, "Good morning." Instantly, I was totally at ease. Only electromagnetic waves could hypnotize a subject so quickly. Hypnotized or not, I started to tell her she was in my space. She cut me off, saying, "I know." She got in and drove off, honking furiously at me. I don't know how she'd known she was in my space unless she'd read my mind with electromagnetic waves.

Just remember, the day you neglect to wear your tinfoil hat may be the day a beautiful woman cheats you out of a hefty parking fine.

I think you should wear a tin hat to keep your mind from getting out.

You can always take a Doritos bag, turn it inside out, roll in the edges to fit, and put it on your head. You may want a two-point ventilation port poke at the top for some airflow. It will fit under a bike helmet. You will keep both your wigwam in Winter cold, and thoughts intact. Topea, or t-pee.

That Ali pic is funny but also very bad aesthetics.

....as would be a tinfoil hat under a bike helmet. A good bicycle lawyer will advise @PedalUma to plead nolo contendere because ignorance of fashion is no excuse. Then maybe he'll get off with 6 months of rehab and 6 months of electronic monitoring.

Always check with your fashion expert before going out in a tinfoil hat.

He looks better in a cowboy hat...................

Where is the rest of the bagpipe?

I quit wearing it until I can get a sign saying, "I'm not Kristi Noem." ICE claimed I was impersonating her and said if it happened again, I'd find myself on a plane for South Carolina. I don't even speak the language.

Where is the rest of the bagpipe?

Clamped to my handlebars. You can never have too many horns, but there wasn't room for the bag.

My question is, is it really warm with the space blanket effect?

I dont have as many horns thesedays

I haven't tried it below freezing, but it's surprisingly good in the 30s. It's windproof, and the elastic seals against drafts. Heat isn't conducted directly from my head because, as the photo shows, the stuff is stiff and springy enough that there's little contact. For more coverage, I could pull it down over my ears.

In a building, the R factor of a reflective surface is typically about 6, equivalent to 2" of wool. Most of the heat is lost through convection. In small spaces, there may not be room for convection currents to pick up speed, and the R factor can be 10. There's not much space for convection currents under my hat, so the R factor may be about 10, like a wool cap 3" thick. That explains why I don't bother to pull it down over my ears.
