I have shifted to multi-sport type helmets that have higher expectations but still do not see them meeting the challenge of my 40 Kph meeting ground or a vehicle at any speed. that said I did break one on the windscreen of a car that cut me off. I wear mine mostly as a good example to the sub 10 kph set that will benefit from a helmet. personally I think bike gloves are more helpful. -- "Love" is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own...
