ANVANTAGES OF URBAN BIKE HELMET

The best road bike helmets and the best urban bike helmets have various aesthetics. Urban cycle helmets often have a more enclosed design with greater coverage and less venting to meet distinct requirements of bike commuting, in contrast to road bike helmets, which are built for ventilation and aerodynamics when traveling at speed. Whether you are riding a hybrid bike, a folding bike, an electric bike, or a folding electric bike that combines all of the above, they will fit in.

The finest e-bike helmets are better than urban helmets if you ride an electric bike since they are designed to provide more protection at the greater speeds that electric bikes can reach.

Naturally, the purpose of a helmet is to keep you safe in the event of a collision, and in order to accomplish this goal, both road bike helmets and urban bike helmets integrate elements such as comparable technology.

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT URBAN BIKE HELMET?

Helmets come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, so not all urban bike helmets will work for you. It's worth trying a few different helmets to see which one is more comfortable.

Check that your head fits and is adjustable and that the straps are snug and won't dig in. Beyond that, here are some tips to find the best urban bicycle helmet for you.

Safety

Most helmets use a similar EPS foam structure to absorb impact and protect the head from trauma. Advances in oem helmet technology are aimed at reducing the impact of rotational impact.

Studies show that most crashes occur when the rider hits the road or sidewalk at an awkward angle. When your helmet deflects impact, it triggers a sudden jerking of the head, applying unwanted rotational acceleration to the brain.

Ventilation

Urban cyclists generally don't need a lot of vents. While urban cyclists are generally slower than road cyclists, their effort levels are also generally lower, which means less heat is generated. Urban bikers should consider the built environment they pass through. Concrete and asphalt radiate heat throughout the day, so if you're an urban cycling enthusiast, riding in built-up areas in the summer can be hotter than expected. If you live somewhere warmer, make sure you consider ventilation when choosing a helmet.

The same applies to riders who live in cold countries or continue to ride during the winter months. If you're a person commuting in inclement weather, a helmet with a lot of coverage and fewer vents will keep you warmer.

Size and fit

Most helmets are available in a variety of sizes, but while they usually come in small, medium and large sizes, there is no comparison between brands. Fortunately, all brands offer some form of ruler watch. Use a tape measure or string to measure your head circumference, and be sure to compare this number to each brand's size chart before making a purchase.

Lights

The potential safety benefits of urban helmets are not just in the event of a crash. They can also help you stay visible on the road. If you ride a lot in the dark, look for a helmet with built-in lights.
