Stop, wait, come back, please! I know the helmets and cycling debate has been done to death, with helmet-wearing now almost ubiquitous and in some instances obligatory, but what if we haven’t gone far enough? Would wearing a full-face helmet provide even better protection for many of us when commuting or even road riding? How many of you and your cycling friends sport a fetching scar or two on the chin (or worse) which could have prevented?
These thoughts were prompted by The Beam’s range of full-face commuter and kid’s helmets. These are not like the aggressive-looking, motocross-inspired helmets that downhill mountain bikers use; rather they are much friendlier looking and remind me a little bit of Lego helmets. They are full-face helmets designed for everyday use.
