helmets on handlebars..
First up dont start a helmet/not helmet debate. Its dull.
I wear a helmet. However, as a generally sweaty fellow i find that when doing long climbs i over-heat and would love to be able to take my helmet off. Now, I have seen pros on the telly with them clipped to their handlebars but whenever i try to figure out a way to do it it seems that it could very easily fall off and cause all sorts of mayhem. So i have never been brave enough to try it.
Does anyone out there know the best way to do it? Is there a clip or something you can use?
cheers

I either hook one of the ear loops over my computer (OK when heading uphill, as it's unlikely to bounce off), or loop both the straps over the top of the bars, and then fasten the buckle underneath the stem (one strap goes either side of the stem). Works better with Shimano STIs (compared to Campag) as the gear cables make a nice cradle...0

Loop the strap over the bars and then around the stem - fasten the buckle to hold it in place. The gear cables on STI levers also form an effective helmet holder.0

As Landside.
Cradle in gear cables with straps over the bars & joined under stem. If the straps are long then do another lap of the stem.

Simply nail the helmet to the bars. Works best if they're carbon.0
