>>2860627I have so many fucking helmets these days.
>a standard bike helmet for quick trips or to throw in a backpack and take to a city for scooter rentals or whatever>a nice road/gravel bike helmet>an old skateboard style helmet>a catchall 4 season multi sport helmet w/ removable face guard and rated for snow/bike/mtb/river/mountain>2 Snowboarding helmets that I sometimes wear on the bike in winter since they are warmer and fit well with goggles>a full mask/visor dirt bike helmet for my no-pedaling-req’d e-bike since it’s basically a mopedAll of them have MiPS and one of the reg bike helmets has the crumple zones thing.
I also have mirrors on two bikes, Bluetooth lights and blinkers on a bike, and mirrors + rear view camera + blinkers + horn on the e-bike,
Sometimes I go for short trips to the store without a helmet, or just for leisurely rides on paths/suburbs. And I put a front rack on my bike specifically to have a place on bike to store the helmet if I want to take it off.
In 7th grade, back in the 90s, a kid at my school died in a skiing accident. Me and all of my friends basically always wore helmets for everything ever since. Over the years since
>2 friends from back then got impaled on tree branches in snowboard/bike accidents, 1 of them lost a kidney but otherwise they both recovered,>another friend fucked his back and spine up in a bike accident but recovered,nobody else died from a head injury though
