ATGATT. It's not just a catchy acronym; it's a code I try and live by. And emphasis on live, as wearing my gear has more than once literally saved my life. That's especially true for me and helmets, as the noggin-protecting devices have more than done their jobs in protecting my cranium from bad falls, bad luck, or bad driving. Sometimes, all three.
But a lot of folks don't see the benefit of wearing a helmet when they're riding e-bikes or even some e-motorcycles, as you tend to think of them as not as fast, not as dangerous, or not as wild as a regular motorcycle. They absolutely are, though, and more folks get injured by those machines year after year than most regular pedal bicycles.
That's why I think Also, Rivian's e-bike off-shoot, did what they did in terms of redesigning the helmet. At least, I think Also's design is one that will show off the benefits of wearing a helmet while riding the brand's new e-bike, while also getting folks to think more about their safety. What the hell am I talking about, you ask? Well, Also just built a smart helmet that shows off when you're braking to those behind you, as well as a headlight, too, and that's neat.
