I recently came across an intere...Hello Bike Snob,<br /><br />I recently came across an interesting conclusion regarding bicycle helmet styles and safety that I've yet to see mentioned elsewhere. It's posted on the BHSI site and the conclusion is that round, smooth helmets (vs. the aero, highly ventilated styles) are the ideal for safety. The aero race styles can have tendency to "snag" on surface thus increasing duration of impact force on neck and increasing chance of rotational injury. Second reason, is that the cutouts require harder foam which decreases impact "spread" and foams don't collapse as they're supposed to but instead the frame breaks/cracks.<br /><br />Please check this out: <br />http://www.bhsi.org/ventsqua.htm<br />(longish but interesting)<br /><br />Have you ever come across this in the helmet debates? The site was last updated in 2009 though the perfomance tests referenced were conducted in 1991. <br /><br />Sorry for such a long post, but I bought my first helmet (been cycling helmetless for 11 years) the other day and almost immediately got buyers remorse. I bought a race, 24 vent style (because that's all I could find in my local shop) but I'm returning it and buy either a Nutcase or a Bern.<br /><br />I want to know what you think. BHSI is the bicycle helmet safety institute. I haven't checked out their credibility and at this point am too tired. Maybe this is an issue worthy of a post on your site. I care much about all my aero heavily vented helmet-wearing friends.<br /><br />Thank you. I'll be looking for a response.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-42947471946548898042010-06-22T16:55:35.266-04:002010-06-22T16:55:35.266-04:00We were delighted to see the Portland Bike Shrine ...We were delighted to see the Portland Bike Shrine noted on Outside. But we were puzzled that the painting of the pedalless ghost bike that will never be ridden again and the actual ghost bike and model ghost bike donated by grieving parents of children killed in horrific traffic accidents would be evaluated on the basis of fashion. Portland is best understood as a town of utility biking. Some can name the model of their bike and one or two have leisure jerseys of identifiable colors. But most riders are using their bikes to get to work or school, to run errands or simply enjoy the great Northwest outdoors, which, yes, includes forest trails and mountains. While doing so they usually wear shorts or rolled jeans and… raingear. Their equipage is defined by backpacks, grocery bags, and toddlers in various combinations. The Bike Shrine is intended to celebrate the joy of cycling, pray for the safety of everyone on the road and remember the fallen, rather typical religious activities. And the “peace gesture” of the painting’s Christ Child? It‘s not the spread finger flash of the 60’s but the traditional close-fingered gesture of blessing, “hip” in visual art since at least the 4th Century.mmflemingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-19478340523150599552010-06-22T16:07:57.448-04:002010-06-22T16:07:57.448-04:00Thanks for the time and effort you put into this b...Thanks for the time and effort you put into this blog, Snob.

IT had a word similar to gyro at the back. Basically you did a rotation pedal action on two pedal boards while standing on a scooter like machine. It was really good. I cant remember if there were two wheels at the back or only one. But the idea is it's a scooter, you stand up as there is no seat and the stepping/cycling action on the boards moves you fwd. Any idea what it is? i'm hoping with your vast knowledge you may be able to help, Thanks in advance.FoFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824446224691921411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-87666467308744822382010-06-21T23:49:49.985-04:002010-06-21T23:49:49.985-04:00I was in Seattle while you were in San Francisco, ...I was in Seattle while you were in San Francisco, and in San Francisco while you were in Seattle.<br /><br />Darn...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-84328112671380268422010-06-21T22:50:39.694-04:002010-06-21T22:50:39.694-04:00leroy-
