As a daily reminder of why one has to wear a motorcycle helmet, this one’s painted with pink brains. I’m not sure who makes the one at left or if it’s just a prototype, but it’s a lot cuter than some of the bloody gutty helmet-brain combos
we’ve seen around before, but this bike one at right is gross enough to keep drivers away from you and your two-wheeler. And speaking of staying safe on the road, read this interesting article from Slate about how wearing a helmet on a bicycle isn’t nearly as effective in keeping you safe from automobiles as simply being a girl. It seems drivers instinctively know to stay away from us crazy ladies on bikes. Via NotCot.

If the motorcycle helmet looked as realistic as the bike helmet, I’d totally buy it! Much more fun than my plain black helmet!
