Photo Challenge: 9 Readers Rocking a Helmet
International Helmet Awareness Day is this weekend! We’re happy to celebrate with these readers who make sure they’re minding their melons with a helmet every time they ride.
We’re happy to see so many readers across so many disciplines taking care of their noggins — after all, you only get one in this life. For this week’s photo challenge, we wanted to see you guys sporting your helmets, and as usual, our readers kindly obliged.
