Those fluffy helmets tend to get super fucking filthy super quick. I've seen a few of those up close and they all looked disgusting if you really looked at them. Which wasn't unexpected. I can't imagine they'd be easy to keep clean.
The problem with these is that they can snag on something in an accident. In a motorcycle accident you want to slide, it's the sudden stopping that kills you.
It's hard to live without a head. You can make by without an arm. I didn't really mean this guy specifically, just this sort of thing in general. They look cool, but make your helmet unsafe.
Haha I'm a townie, I don't get out on long rides much and the last few bikes I owned have had fenders. But I did have clipless pedals in the past and cared more then 🙂 maybe I should get out on longer rides more 🤔

As a cyclist, I worry how this oversized helmet will perform in an accident. As an appreciator of individual expression, hop to it!

Logically this means they are also making the surrounding air cleaner.

He's wearing a T-shirt, I think in an accident his helmet snagging would be the least of his worries.

Ooooh, ok. I didn't think a silly hat would have such a dramatic effect.
I doubt you would lose your head, but a snag could certainly whip your neck.
I thought you were going to say that as a cyclist you worry about how it would perform aerodynamically.
It's got to cost a few watts.

Not sure this counts as zero fucks. This person seems to have put a lot of effort into crafting a very unique look.
The bike has a sticker on it that says Zero Fucks. I maybe should have pointed that out.
While I appreciate the look, I honestly think the sticker ruins it. If you have to TELL people you give zero fucks, then you give at least one fuck.
I think it's possible to be multiple layers of irony deep where a Rick and Morty sticker is subversive. Idk
