I can’t find my bike helmet.

I was all ready to do my first outdoor ride of the year — technically, it was my third ride, but the first two were in San Diego a few weeks ago, so they don’t count — but I couldn’t find my helmet.

I’ve looked everywhere, including places where it couldn’t possibly be, like the refrigerator and clothes dryer.

It’s gone — or stolen, because that’s how my raised-in-Brooklyn mind tends to work sometimes.

I rode 29 miles using my wife’s helmet.

I’m done looking for it. Later today, I will visit the bike shop and buy a new helmet so that I can ride with my wife this weekend.

And not long after, I will almost certainly find
my lost bike helmet.
