This question has probably been asked before. I have a Bell skateboard helmet but it says it's CPSC Bicycle Safety Standard Certified.
I'm planning to start commuting to and from work and tbh I'm a little terrified. I do cycle a lot in Fife but it's a lot quieter there than the traffic in Glasgow! lol.
I've had a head injury before at the back of my head and for that reason I like the idea of wearing a skateboard helmet as I feel it provides more protection for this area. However, on a bike I'm far more likely to hit the front if I do indeed come off the bike.
I dunno if this has been debated before but if anyone could give me a quick sum up of Skate vs cycle helmets that'd be great in helping me decide whether I should fork out on a new proper bike helmet or if I should stick with my skate helmet. I'm struggling to find any decent information online about it.
I'm hoping on this forum I can avoid the "If you've had a head injury don't ride!" stuff everyone else gives me! lol
P.S. I messed up on the title for this thread! I meant SKATE vs Bicycle Helmets! I'm dyslexic and spent ages fixing this part of the message but missed the title! Sorry!
