I've been writing about a lot of helmets recently. Because of that, I've also been spending a lot of time researching the history of the best road bike helmets. What I found is that although there was an understanding that helmets helped riders during a crash, fashion was also an equal partner in spurring widespread usage. One of the watershed moments came when brands began being able to put sponsor logos and colours on the outside of a road cycling helmet. The trend continued as adoption by consumers picked up speed and today it continues to be a big part of why you might decide to choose one helmet instead of another.
