Helmets

[Chris Mad dog]

Hi guys, a word on helmets.
I know our rules say full face helmets but I have ridden all my life with an open face helmet. Full face makes me feel claustrophobic and disconnected from the world about me.
For discussion; I respectfully ask can we make the rule the riders choice?
I agree that full face is safer but I just cannot cope with the claustrophobic feeling and reduction in peripheral vision.

From IBRMC perspective, full faced helmet has become the 1st mandatory priority for all long rides. For a city ride its still fine and subjected to Chapter mods discretion. We are following this deligently for a long time and would like to stick to it. Safety comes first after all.

I completely agree that safety must be our top priority on a long run, or for that matter even on a short run. I think the answer is I will buy a full face that has a detachable chin guard so I can ride it open face around town or just a general day-to-day use but on a long run for the chin guard so that it gives me total protection. Thanks for the reply.
On another point when is our next meeting? I'm a lot better now and can walk a reasonable distance even if it is with a stick (which I hope to get rid of soon) and would very much enjoy meeting my IBRMC brothers it has been a long time and I miss you guys.
