Shout out to the woman who came over and picked up me and my bicycle after I had a tumble on some uneven bricks on the Seawall this morning. I wasn’t 100% there after to ask your name, but I very much appreciate your kindness.
And a shout to my helmet. Happy you took the blow, not me.

@ascentale @bikenite What is the best/safest e-bike helmet?

"At a minimum your helmet should be certified to the Dutch NTA 8776 standard, the only one specifically for ebikes."
https://helmets.org/helmets-for-ebikes/

Virginia Tech rates #helmets, and you can filter for "e-bike (NTA)" to get a list of helmets, but (a) there are 13 helmets with 5 stars (too many), and (b) the highest-rated options are very expensive and bulky. (And can I even source them in the USA?)

@skyfaller asks:

Q2. What is the most #sustainable bike helmet?

I was sufficiently impressed by Coyle "Tree Piece" custom CNC'd wood & cork #helmets to put down a deposit: https://coyledesignandbuild.com/

But they have issues aside from cost: 4-5 months wait and "we don’t know how you would test one-off creations when five identical samples are required for lab testing to the CPSC standard": https://helmets.org/helmets-by-brand/#coyle

Anything else not just recycled plastic?

One of my biggest #gaming pet peeves in #RPGs: #helmets, #hats, #caps and #capes.

Don't get me wrong, if the #stats are good, I'll equip them. But 99.9% of the time I will immediately hide them visually if the #game allows it.

A rogue's worn leather cap, a #thief's hood, a #warrior's iron bucket on their head... all hidden. The only exception? If an #armor piece genuinely looks stunning, we're talking a truly unique, well-designed #outfit that actually fits the #character.

A carefully designed #character face buried under generic headgear? Not on my watch. A #cape flapping around like they're auditioning for a #fantasy theatre production? Also hidden.

#Immersion is visual too.
