“Fashion for head only?” You mean, I can’t wear this as a shoe? Should be fine….if I don’t crash, right?

Im going to have to say I made that description up, maybe some people think it was real, stereotyping pigeon english.
It actually said ..
You fat loser like Trump, hope stock market land on your head.

Don't worry though: You would always beat me on speaking and with the British idioms

Virginia Tech has the latest ratings for most 2025 bicycle helmets. Specialized has three in the top 12 out of 264. These cost less that one ranked 246. I purchased one today, not only to protect my head... https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html

Thanks for posting this link, and hats off to Virginia Tech for doing this important work.

Have been eyeing the Specialized Chamonix 3 for a while — mainly for its ventilation, color, and price. Now that I see its #25 of 264 ranking and above-average 5-star rating, I'm pulling the trigger.

My 3 year-old ABUS Pedelec MIPS 2.0 came in at #67.

Ironically, were there are the most bikes in traffic, Amsterdam, no one has a helmet, because cars know how to drive and bikes know how to ride. Note: Mopeds are no longer allowed in bike lanes.

I've ridden in Amsterdam, and as a retired MD who's read thousands of post-trauma brain CTs and MRIs, I still think it's a mistake to ride a bike without a helmet.

True, the cars and locals there are very bike-aware and stay out of bikeways. But the oblivious tourist pedestrians are every bit as dangerous there as they are here in SoCal. I wandered into a few bike lanes myself.
