Bicycle Helmet

Perhaps the most underrated piece of cycling equipment is the bicycle helmet. It has been scorned by many because of an inglorious history of inelegant designs and clumsy implementation. But it still remains the best protection a biker has against permanent brain damage. Just let that sink in for a minute… permanent brain damage.

Yes, you might feel silly the first time you strap on the bicycle helmet and begin adjusting the straps. However that feeling is nothing compared to how silly you would look spending the rest of your life in a hospital bed because you were turned into a vegetable by preventable head trauma. Seriously, you owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to not let that happen.

All it takes is one accident where your bicycle helmet is the point of impact for you to realize how vital they can be. As scary as an accident like that can be, the thought is always there that it could have been much worse. And indeed it could have! So do yourself a favor, and if you don’t have a helmet now, go pick one up before your next ride. And wear it!
