Eli 23.3 recently entered the cycling world.He found an excellent bike (through monitoring sites for months) for a fraction of the cost. "It came with a great helmet, Dad," he said.
Because I am, in fact, a Dad, I started down the rabbit hole of helmet research, and, as far as I can tell, found the apex testing site: Bicycle Helmet Ratings. The testing is done by Virginia Tech in conjunction with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It's outstanding.
In the old days, helmets were basically plastic buckets with a strap, but they're surprisingly technical now, with multiple technologies at work. If you ride a bicycle, or have family members who do, this might be a useful resource.
We only get one brain. Protecting it is a priority.
