noticed something in your question that i want to address directly and I'm not sure if someone had already.
Riding a bicycle with long hair requires taking safety precautions. Please tie your hair up and away from any moving parts on the bicycle.
I rode bicycles for many years with my long hair and it does feel quite good. I think as a general rule when you're wearing a helmet and riding a bicycle the hair needs to be secured just like if you're working around moving machinery.
