Safety is very Important to me when I ride my MB. The helmet I was wearing started falling apart and just didnt feel safe so..... I went all out and bought one of these bad boys :cool:

just wanted to share my excitement. It'll take a little to get used to and the wife now calls me egghead :geek: but man It feels really safe... It's great.


I cant wait to go for a ride :helmet:

Wear that helmet! Forget the remarks from the fun ribbing. Point out the regrets from riders of no helmets who took a spill. There are several that can be found on this forum. I can't recall even straddling my bike without a helmet on my head.

helmet: good idea

I just wear a Gero bicycle helmet. I don't have much side vision so I like to hear what's coming around.

I wear a leather jacket, no helmet. It may sound stupid, but helmets interfere with myself being able to be aware of my surroundings - both visually and audially, which I feel poses a greater hazard of simple dangers that I can better easily avoid.
 
I have two. And I wear them, I'll confess, more for comfort than safety. (though the safety thing is a plus, of course)

They're both 3/4 helmets. More round than streamlined. Some breather holes, but not as many as you see on some helmets. Think of a skateboard helmet and you've got the idea.
I attached bills to both, to keep the Sun out of my eyes.

One is black. I filled the breather holes with foam rubber and sealed with silicone caulking. That's my warm, weather-proof winter helmet.

The other is white with the breather holes open. This is my summer helmet. Keeps that Sun from cooking my (already half-baked) brain.


The only time that I don't wear them is short neighborhood rides.
