A Word about Helmets!

lesmann in Cycling • 8 months ago

Hello there Friends, Happy Thursday evening and thank you for your visit!

This is my fourth post in the #cyclingcommunity and I have a interesting post for today concerning "Cycling Helmets".
Now I want to start with "I am not or better put, was not a bicycle helmet wearer".
Even though I "did" have a "horrific" crash in 2020 where I launched through the air at 21mph/33.7 and landed on my face! I thought I would be wearing a mask for the rest of my life - but... Healed perfectly and still "no helmet". That should make anyone think, right?
Relatives and friends tried to urge me to get one - I did too small, still in the box.
But...
This thing "did" make me a "helmet wearer"...
I ride the neighborhood here "a lot", and daily...
You know, when a Dad is there with his children explaining why they should wear a helmet, I don't want to be the guy the point to riding by and saying "but he doesn't have one on".

Actually, since I may have seen exactly this, I decided to straighten up (at 66) and fly right - so to speak.
So I got this one, it's a "R.NOX" and I like it. The airflow is much better than with a baseball hat!
The side,

Back,

And 3/4ths back

And front,

I said I was "passionate" about bikes, and I am, Whatever makes the Sport/Hobby Safer - right?
He he he! I got some of my neighbors riding!
Thank you again for your visit and,
"Wishing You A Very Blessed Mid-Week"!
Remember "The Father" in ALL THINGS!
He "Remembers You"!
👍🏼😊😇😁😇😊👍🏼

Good to see you're an example for other cyclists now. A helmet is a good investment. Your brain is irreplaceable...

When growing up in the Netherlands cycling is something you learn at a young age. Everyone is cycling here. Despite the cycling culture (or maybe because of it) not a lot of people wear helmets.
Cyclists are very common in traffic and infrastructure is designed to keep cyclists safe.
So I never wear a helmet on my regular bicycle. And many others with me.

But there is a change going on. With the rise of the faster e-bikes more and more people start to wear helmets. This is also encouraged by the high death rate since the introduction of e-bikes.

I bought a helmet too when I bought my first road bicycle because I also reach higher speeds with that.

Gotta preserve what's inside our heads. I also flew through the air.. if it weren't for the helmet I'd have been in a bad shape now

It is a very good buy, I must invest in a helmet very soon, most of my adventures I have done without a helmet, and I know how dangerous that is, I will try to save with hive to have a helmet at my disposal, good post!
