US Considers helmet cam ban

[BroDeal]

I would have thought that helmet mounted lights, the kind you use in 24 hour events would pose more of a problem as i imagine there would be a lot more out there compared to those with cameras ? I was thinking about the danger of the helmet mounted lights and how awkward it would be to land on the light a few weeks ago and actually crashed. Lucky for me my helmet hit side on and the light was mounted on top.Would have been a different story if I had the dual lights I see at races that mount on both sides of the helmet. There probably would be quite a market out there for someone to design an integrated helmet/light that met design standards.

The risk of crashing by not using good lighting has to be taken into account. Even though there is a chance that helmet lighting may increase the chances of injury in a crash, the chance of crashing may be increased without helmet lighting. Personally I would rather have lighting on the bars and the helmet because I would like to crash as little as possible.

Regardless of who bought the wheels, I would be extremely upset if I were told that I spent 2 grand for absolutely no reason.

You could use them for your own Sunday casual group rides.

you didn't buy them for no reason. you bought them for when you're kid is older or moves up from cat 4/5 into cat 3.
it's not like they have a 3 month expiry date on them...

Why is any of this in the professional road racing forum?
