When riding our bikes in the city, it's acceptable to dress down in terms of gear, provided that we also temper our riding style. This is especially true if your daily commuter is a cruiser or scooter. Oftentimes, we see scooter and cruiser riders hitting the road in much more laid-back attire. That said, this doesn't mean that gear manufacturers don't throw in cutting-edge tech when it comes to safety.
For example, HJC, one of the most popular helmet manufacturers in the world, has just released a new jet helmet specific for city riders. It's called the V31, and it ties in nicely with the rest of HJC's new retro-modern range. The V31 is a jet helmet, or a three-quarters helmet that's ideal for use in the city thanks to its practicality and ease of use. It features retro styling in the form of a rounded shell and drop-down visor, reminiscent of aviation helmets of yesteryear.
