Bandanas come highly recommended for a bike trip, mainly due to their versatility. An obvious use for a bandana is appearance a.k.a. hippy fashion. A dude wearing a bandana makes a statement. He oozes coolness. He radiates confidence. He throbs machismo. Another use is keeping the sweat out of the eyes and the hair back. I have stopped cutting my hair so its going to get a little shaggy. A bandana can also be used to tie one item to another item. Hey bandana, thank you for the options!!!
But who are we kidding! It all goes back to coolness. Dressing like “the Boss”. Strutting like you packing some big meat.
For those of you that don’t have a bandana, you may wonder as I did where one can buy a bandana. Well, I found some at Eastern Mountain Sports. They come in many colors and have a nice little design that clearly identifies one wearing it with the outdoors crew. Ultimate Frisbee. Rock Climbing. Mountain Biking. Hell, you would probably even be accepted at a Greenpeace protest. Not so much as a country singer and certainly not as a biker (as in motorcycle). I recommend buying 2, so you can tie one around your Djembe and the other around your head. Actually, buy a third and tie it around your dog’s neck. The ladies love a dog with a bandana and they will project this love towards you. Just make sure that the bandana is clean, otherwise you will come off as neglectful. I bought 2, but as I mentioned I don’t own a hand drum, so I’ll just use the first as a sweat catcher and the second one as a surrender flag.
