Hey Halifax, I get it, you like my bike helmet. I like it too; eight-inch spiky mohawks are pretty cool. But please, STOP YELLING AT ME. I know you (mostly) just want to be supportive, but, first of all, yelling at strangers is pretty rude. More importantly, it’s distracting, like really, really distracting, and I really don’t want to be hit by a car. This city is notoriously dangerous for cyclists as it is, please don’t make it worse. —Badass helmet wearer

Sounds like a cool helmet for sure. But I don’t understand when people do something to stand out or draw attention to themselves, then complain when they get that attention.
What Dwight said. With crumbled bacon, sour cream and fried onions on top.
Sounds like Asshole Bicycle Helmet Wearer to me.
I agree. Okay freaks, how do you defend that?
I don’t do cyclists or cycling. I find the topic lacking all cognitive depth. More simply, I find the topic eye-wateringly boring.
Stop wearing your attention whore helmet or, eat a dick and put up with the attention your whore with it. Some people are too stupid to breath!!!
I find attention seekers a very annoying sub-species. They are far too insecure. They try to be noticed by wearing very revealing clothing, strange coloured hair, etc., etc. Then they get angry if they don’t get the exact kind of attention that they are seeking and only from the people they are trying to impress. Grow up!
so, if this helmet has 8 inch spikes on it, can you imagine the lethal projectile OP would make if propelled from his bike ?
Wow – a crested helmet. That’s like totally radical, dude. Nobody ever thought of that before.

Hope your fingertips are healing nicely.
I don’t want to live in a world where everyone has to wear the same helmets 🙁
The spikes are also made of non-impaling polymers. I bought my nephew one a couple months ago. He’s definitly not an attention seeker either.
