[Foothill Cycle Club: 1740] gotta protect the mind mellon

This article came across my desk today.

Cycling is the leading cause of sports-related head injuries in the US. Helmets are crucial for preventing traumatic brain injuries, and new technologies like MIPS and SPIN offer improved protection against rotational head kinematics. Studies have shown that these helmets can reduce peak rotational acceleration and brain injury risk during oblique impacts. While they may be more expensive, investing in these advanced helmet technologies is essential for protecting oneself during cycling accidents and prioritizing personal safety and the well-being of the cycling community.

Safe biking,

Brian
