In cycling events, aerodynamic drag contributes most of the resistance experienced by a competitive cyclist. Accordingly, the majority of time-trial cycling helmets were designed to obtain low aerodynamic drag. The question arises what is the best position of cycling helmet and its tail flap that re...
