So, Ive been seeing a lot of cyclists rocking those super bright, neon-colored helmets and Im wondering, are they just trying to be seen or are they secretly trying to blind everyone else on the road? Seriously though, do these helmets actually increase visibility and awareness for cyclists, or are they just a fashion statement? I mean, can a helmet really make a difference in how motorists behave around us, or is it all just a bunch of hype? And what about the whole being seen argument - doesnt that just boil down to cyclists being responsible for their own visibility, rather than relying on a fancy helmet to do the job?
