I’ve not ridden a bike in anger for many years, so many years in fact cycle helmets were not really available unless you were racing and even then most riders didn’t have them.
Lots of people don’t wear helmets still, which is stupid, I used to ride without one but that was years ago, the traffic was a lot lighter and I guess I was lucky, I never had a serious accident, a few scrapes and falls but nothing serious.
I’ve thought about getting a bike that I can take on the train with me, I’ve thought about it, I’ve not actually taken the next step of getting one. If and when I do take that step I’ll need to get a helmet, if I do get a helmet I want one like this.
I came across this video via Twitter and this is *really* awesome.
