Does anyone manufacture novelty helmets that actually protect the head? An acquaintance has had a mishap (on a bicycle), the details of which he can't quite remember. :-( He is now willing to start wearing a helmet. But he would like, if possible, to get one that looks like the old Kaiser Wilhelm era german military helmets, with the spike on top. I suppose a phony plastic spike could be glued on to a helmet of the right shape. Does anyone sell helmets that look like this? Regular Bicycle Foam Hats, er helmets, really only function for bump and scrape protection. Whole population studies have shown no statistically significant reduction in serious head injuries and death with bicycle foam hat use. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia “Mary had a little lamb / And when she saw it sicken / She shipped it off to Packingtown / And now it’s labeled chicken.” |

It seems to me that something that helps protect your noggin in a 60MPH crash should also help protect it in a 30MPH crash. There do appear to be DOT approved German-ish black gloss motorcycle helmets. I figure a flimsy plastic spike spraypainted gold should be doable. -- Please reply to: | President Bush is promoting Peace and Democracy pciszek at panix dot com | in the Middle East by selling Weapons to the Autoreply is disabled | King of Saudi Arabia. |

Yeah, but you would die of heat stroke wearing a full-face motorcycle helmet on a hot day while riding a bicycle hard. A moderately strong cyclist will have to dissipate 700 to 1000 watts of waste heat, and a motorcycle helmet is a good insulator [1]. [1] A cold snap during college spring break left me with a 4-hour ride back to school in 20-30°F weather. While I had to stop to warm my hands and feet several times, and was shivering afterwards for about 5 hours, my head or face never felt cold at 65-70 mph. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia “Mary had a little lamb / And when she saw it sicken / She shipped it off to Packingtown / And now it’s labeled chicken.” |
