A matter of some small confusion.

As my dear colleague, correctly notes in the previous post, a balaclava-style headpiece is one's best friend when cycling in any temperatures from 20f and below. That being said, there has been some confusion as of late with regard to the proper name for this type of head wear. I.B.C believes that a proper education can only make you a more informed, active, and attractive cyclist. As such, we have created this small piece of edutainment below to brighten your day and save you from the crushing embarrassment, and possibly danger, of improper identification. Please, enjoy.

As you can see, a balaclava is a garment similar to the common ski mask, whereas baklava is a delicious pastry made of layers of filo dough, chopped nuts and honey. Should you attempt to wear baklava while commuting in the winter, you will likely draw the ire of normally docile bees. They are none too pleased that you are mocking their hard work by riding around with it on your head like some deranged Carmen Miranda. They will come out of their winter rest just to chase you, and being chased by sleepy bees is no way to spend your winter commute. We hope this clears up any confusion.
