I've only just ordered my bike that will become my motored bike, so I haven't gotten a helmet YET. I will, oh trust me, I will...
anyway... I will be pedaling a lot, basically as much as I can, but because of health conditions, I do not think that I would be able to make the 14 mile commute on pedal power alone.
If I was planning on motoring almost exclusively, getting a DOT motorcycle helmet would be an easy choice, but if I'm going to be pedaling a lot, I will need something with the ventilation of a biking helmet (at least for the heat of the summer).
Are biking helmets safe enough? Cyclists are capable of the speeds of motored bikes (even if for some cyclists, it's just while going downhill) so in THEORY they would be good enough for a motored bike....
I need sufficient protection from something vented enough to keep me cool while pedaling... suggestions?
