Oh- you don't put the trash bag in the helmet until you need it...

That was extremely creative, and very resourceful.
Thanks for sharing.
Good Riding!

Thanks for the tip Spodely and thanks to KW for the link to see what

sit back and watch someones kid do it while holding a cold adult
beverage and offer some free advise.
