I wish there was a consideration of the cycling lane across our ring roads and some connecting roads. not a single lane, it should promote safe cycling. Not only for commuting but for morning workouts too.
Cycling has a lot of scope to reduce traffic and pollution in Banglore.
This thought is not because of peer pressure or just to collect fancy apparels. I am good with my 2.5k Btwin MTB helmet as I am using both MTB and a road bike. The extended back protection makes me feel that it is better than the Btwin road bike helmet in terms of safety.
In my group, cyclists are switching their helmets now and 4 of them purchased high end brands like Giro, Met, and Abus. Spending 5k to 17k. These helmets are light weight, and have added safety features like Mits for impacts. (Looks great too)
Is it a good decision to switch to such brands or a good helmet from Decathlon will serve the purpose. My personal opinion is yes, it does. I like to hear from the community.
